Prevention before the change of seasons – how to strengthen the immune system and avoid viruses

The change of seasons always puts our bodies to the test. After the ease and energy of summer, autumn presents us with new challenges – shorter days, changeable weather, less sunlight and more hours spent indoors. All of these factors affect our energy, mood and, most importantly, our immune system. It is at this point that prevention is key – we don’t wait for the first symptoms, but prepare our bodies early.

Main threats to immunity during the seasonal transition

With the onset of autumn, the body is faced with a combination of external and internal factors that weaken natural defenses:

• Sudden changes in temperatures – fluctuations between warm days and cold evenings put a strain on the body and increase the risk of colds.
  
• Virus activation – the beginning of the school and work year means more contacts and a higher probability of infections.
  
• Mental and physical stress – returning to a busy schedule often leads to fatigue and tension, which suppresses the immune response.
  
• Reduced sun exposure – less vitamin D, which is key for the immune system and good mood.
  

All of these factors create the “perfect storm” in which the body needs more support to remain balanced and resilient.

The role of key vitamins and minerals

For the immune system to function optimally, it needs the right nutrients:

• Vitamin D – regulates the immune response and protects against frequent infections. Its deficiency is extremely common in the fall.
  
• Zinc – necessary for the proper function of immune cells and for recovery processes in the body.
  
• Selenium – a strong antioxidant that protects cells from oxidative stress and supports the thyroid gland – an important organ for metabolism and energy.
  

Without them, the immune system has a hard time coping with daily challenges, especially when we are exposed to stress and sudden climate changes.

Antioxidant Protection and the Power of Adaptogens

Fortunately, nature has given us additional “tools” for protection:

• Antioxidants – substances that neutralize free radicals and protect cells from damage. They are especially important during times of stress, when the body produces more free radicals.
  
• Adaptogens – found in plants and medicinal mushrooms. They increase the body’s resistance to physical and mental stress. They help the body find balance, improve energy, and support the nervous system.
  

This way, our body becomes more flexible and able to respond adequately to seasonal changes.
