The ailments of winter like colds where the tonsillitis remain among the most frequent diseases of the winter season. Some people chain them moreover, which leads, in addition to a state of fatigue, to unpleasant disorders: runny nose, burning throat, etc.
But there is no mystery. “A body tired, let alone exhausted, risks multiplying this kind of affection because the lack of energy weakens the immune system. And one immune system weakened implies that we catch all the viruses that lie around, or that we fall ill easily”, indicates Stéphane Tetart Naturopath.
Another cause: outside temperatures. Not the cold itself but rather the temperature changes with which we are confronted. “Going from 0 degrees outside to a heated interior, then returning to transport and coming out in the cold, causes variations that the body finds difficult to manage… especially if it is tired because sleep is not restorativeor that it suffers from deficiencies”, continues the expert. If this rhythm is customary for you, colds or angina are likely to attack you frequently.
THE too much stress is also one of the sources of winter illnesses since it also attacks the immune system, which has more and more difficulty defending itself against diseases. Finally a poor digestion also plays, because when we digest badly, we badly assimilate the vitamins and minerals which can protect us against viruses and bacteria. So what tips to avoid spending this season clinging to your handkerchief or your box of lozenges, answers in pictures.
