Cold and flu season is rapidly approaching, but how do you prepare for it when you don’t know how to protect yourself? Fortunately, you can boost your immune system in many ways through simple changes to your daily routine.

1. Take the Right Supplements

Ensuring you get the proper vitamins and minerals in your diet can help protect you against nasty viruses this winter. Taking daily vitamins can be a great way to add the nutrients you don’t get from your food to your body. This way, you can keep yourself strong and healthy.

You can also choose to look after your gut health by taking probiotics. Probiotics are a way to get good bacteria in your body if you don’t get them through other means, such as by eating yogurt. Probiotics can fight against harmful bacteria and, in some cases, prevent you from getting sick.

2. Stop Unhealthy Habits

If you want to commit to getting healthy, make a point to cease or wean yourself off of unhealthy, addictive habits. Sometimes, these habits can manifest in the form of spending too much time on screens, but other times they come with consuming too much of something, like smoking or drinking in excess.

Many of these unhealthy habits can cause chronic diseases that negatively affect your body. For example, cigarettes cause 85% of all lung cancers. Quitting these bad habits can only positively affect your health.
