Science proves: Winter makes you sick

More frequent colds and other infections are not your imagination. They're actually happening, researchers have found . Responsible are genes that react to the seasons with different activity. They have various effects on our organism. The immune system is not as active, which makes our body more susceptible to illness. The researchers have not yet discovered which external factors are actually responsible.

Many people struggle with infections that often don't even require a visit to the doctor. Coughs, a runny nose and similar discomfort can be quickly eliminated with the right medicine. Going to the pharmacy around the corner is one option. The alternative is just a few clicks away. An online pharmacy has several advantages . So it's nice for sick people not to have to go out the door.

Transparency and security

Another advantage is the transparency of the offer. Here you can compare medications from different manufacturers in detail. In the stationary pharmacy, customers usually first have to ask for the price. In addition, the range cannot be viewed completely. In addition, pharmacies do not always have all medications in stock and must first order them from the large warehouse. Here the patient may have a second route to the pharmacy. All of these problems are eliminated when shopping online.

And the advice? Online pharmacies also have an obligation to provide advice. Free hotlines, encyclopedias and other guides are offered so that the customer can make a confident decision. It is ideal if the pharmacy can demonstrate quality seals for its services. Shipping takes place by post. The medication arrives conveniently in your home after two to four days.

Prevent diseases

Those who can should give priority to staying healthy. There is also a wide range of products available in pharmacies. You should take a close look at the providers. Caution is particularly advised when providers call unsolicited and offer their services. Here, immediately disconnecting the call is the best solution. There are numerous options to prevent infections.

One of the most important is hand hygiene . This allows the transmission of pathogens to be efficiently contained. Most infections are not spread through the nose or mouth. Most of the time we touch something that is contaminated with germs. The shopping cart, door handles, the handrail on the bus or train, the button in the elevator - all of them give off pathogens. Nobody has to wear gloves all day long. However, washing your hands regularly is a sensible measure.

Another point is a diet rich in vitamins, which strengthens the immune system. Vitamin D, which is found in abundance in avocados, plays an important role. It is also found in cheese, oily fish and chicken eggs. In addition, exercise should not be neglected. It is a free immune system booster. It is ideal to do sports outdoors when the sun is shining. Daylight also contributes to our health .

Conclusion

Unfortunately, we get sick more often in winter than in summer. Often they are minor problems that can be easily treated. Illnesses can be prevented with the right diet, exercise and good hygiene.
