Seasonal health advice for immunity and indoor air quality
As temperatures drop, experts highlight various ways to maintain health and manage indoor environments. To boost immunity and warmth, recommended beverages include herbal teas, golden milk with turmeric, warm lemon water, almond milk, and drinks containing cinnamon or ginger. Fruits such as kiwi, oranges, grapefruit, and blackcurrants are noted for their high Vitamin C content, which is essential for immune function.
Environmental factors also play a role in well-being. Research suggests a link between PM2.5 air pollution and increased risks of depression and anxiety, particularly in children and adolescents. Additionally, indoor air quality can be affected by low humidity caused by heating, which may lead to dry nasal passages, sore throats, and irritated skin. Maintaining proper humidity levels is recommended to prevent respiratory discomfort and improve sleep quality.
