During the winter months, shorter daylight hours, leading to decreased vitamin D and reduced physical activity, more time spent indoors, and exposure to colder temperatures place additional demands on the immune system. Because of this, it becomes more important to support our immune system, keeping in mind that rather than “boosting” immunity with a food or supplement, providing the body with consistent nourishment allows the immune system to respond appropriately – both to daily demands and to illness when it occurs.
