How to avoid catching a cold in the fall: simple tips from experts

Autumn is a time when the body especially needs to strengthen its defenses: temperature changes, less sun and reduced levels of vitamin D increase the risk of colds and general exhaustion. Experts advise several practical steps that will help maintain health and energy in the colder months.

First, pay attention to your diet. Include more foods rich in vitamin C (citrus fruits, bell peppers, broccoli) and iron (buckwheat, legumes, liver) in your diet. Seasonal vegetables and herbs support immunity and improve digestion - this is a simple and effective way to nourish the body with useful substances.

Second, don't neglect movement. Even half an hour of daily walking or light exercise at home supports blood circulation and stimulates the immune system. Regular activity improves sleep, mood, and overall stamina, so try to get off the couch more often and include simple physical exercises in your day.

Sleep and rest are the third key factor. Adults are usually recommended to get 7–9 hours of quality sleep. It is during rest that the body repairs itself and produces immune cells, so a stable sleep schedule significantly increases resistance to infections.

The fourth component is stress management. Chronic stress increases cortisol levels, which reduces the immune response. Relaxation techniques—meditation, breathing exercises, or short breaks—help reduce tension and restore the body’s resources.

Don't forget about water balance and moisturizing your mucous membranes. Drink plenty of water, warm herbal teas, or decoctions to maintain optimal moisture in your respiratory tract mucous membranes — this is one of the simple barriers against viruses.

In conclusion, the best results come from a combination of approaches: proper nutrition, regular moderate physical activity, sufficient sleep, and attention to mental health. These basic rules help increase the body's resistance and maintain energy throughout the fall. If you have chronic diseases or questions about nutritional supplements and vitamins, consult your doctor before starting any new health maintenance program.
