Cold winter months mean more time spent indoors, where germs can spread quickly. It’s essential to build immune support to prevent sickness and remain healthy during the cold months. You can incorporate several small habits into your routine, such as drinking more water and eating a healthy diet, which will go a long way toward keeping you healthy.

Sleep

One of the most overlooked habits is ensuring you get enough sleep. Over a third of American adults don’t get enough sleep. Less than seven hours of sleep can increase the risk of several chronic illnesses. Sleeping seven to nine hours is essential for optimal health.

Exercise

Add moderate exercise to your routine. Exercise is also helpful in building immune support. If you enjoy jogging, hiking, or bicycling, it’s likely to become a regular habit. An exercise routine can reduce inflammation, another boost to the immune system. You can also use products from Results RNA to help boost your immune system.

Mindfulness

Mindfulness is another helpful habit in shoring up immune support. Chronic stress can negatively impact the immune system, and mindfulness reduces stress, anxiety, and depression. Regular mindfulness practice can lower the body’s stress response, which can have positive effects.

Reduced daylight and more time spent indoors can decrease vitamin D, an essential vitamin necessary for good health. To increase your vitamin D, make an effort to spend 15 to 30 minutes outdoors, eat vitamin D-rich foods, and consider adding a supplement.

These simple healthy habits are especially beneficial during the winter months. Maintaining good health can be as simple as getting a good night’s sleep, exercising regularly, and creating a mindfulness practice.
