Winter Health Tips: Nutrition and Skincare Advice from Brazilian Experts

Health professionals highlight that cold, dry winter conditions can increase the spread of respiratory viruses such as influenza and rhinovirus. Dr. Isis Tande da Silva, a nutrition professor, advises a set of habits to keep immunity strong: adequate sleep, regular physical activity, up‑to‑date vaccination, stress management, sufficient hydration, safe sun exposure, avoidance of smoking and excessive alcohol, and a balanced diet rich in vitamins A, C, D, E, B6, B12, folate and minerals like zinc, iron, copper and selenium. She stresses that enough calories and protein are essential for immune cell function and that a healthy gut microbiota supports immune regulation.

In parallel, the Jacques Janine salon chain has launched three winter‑focused facial treatment protocols using Goodessence cosmetics. The procedures combine deep hydration, barrier reinforcement and cellular renewal through steps that include cleansing with natural oils, gentle exfoliation, serum application of hyaluronic acid and silicon, ice‑globe massage, and final moisturizing. Prices start at R$ 300, and the treatments aim to protect skin from dryness, improve elasticity and restore luminosity during the colder months.
