Stress and your immune system: how to protect yourself in the fall

Fall and winter are challenging not only because of the cold and viruses, but also because of stress. Work pressure, short days, and less relaxation can weaken your immune system.

How does that work exactly?

Stress increases the hormone cortisol . This hormone is helpful during short bursts of stress, but if stress persists, it weakens your immune system. This makes you more susceptible to colds or the flu.

Signs of stress that affect your immune system

• Sleep worse
• Fatigue
• Digestive problems
• Regularly sick or having a cold

Orthomolecular approach

• Magnesium Citrate : helps the body relax and provides support against fatigue caused by stress.
• Relax Support : contains natural herbs that calm the nerves and contribute to more balance.

By reducing stress and supporting your body orthomolecularly, you give your immune system the strength it needs in the fall.
