Support Your Immunity With TerraNova

This time of year can bring shorter days, lower temperatures, and an increase in viral infections, making immunity a topic on everyone’s mind. Our immune system is a complex network of cells, tissues, and organs working together to defend us from harmful pathogens such as bacteria and viruses. While it is always active, seasonal factors like reduced sunlight, colder weather, and increased indoor time can make us more susceptible to infections. Supporting our immunity during these months is essential for staying healthy and feeling our best.

Nutrition plays a pivotal role in maintaining a strong immune system. Vitamins and minerals such as vitamin C, vitamin D, zinc, and selenium are critical for the proper functioning of immune cells.

Seasonal fruits and vegetables like citrus, berries, leafy greens, and root vegetables provide these nutrients along with antioxidants that help protect the body from oxidative stress. Fermented foods such as yogurt, kefir, and sauerkraut are also important, as a healthy gut microbiome is closely linked to immune resilience.

Including a variety of nutrient rich foods in your daily diet gives your immune system the building blocks it needs to function optimally.

Lifestyle habits are equally important. Regular physical activity, even a brisk walk outdoors, stimulates the circulation of immune cells, helping the body respond more efficiently to pathogens.

Quality sleep is another cornerstone of immunity. During deep sleep, the body produces infection fighting cells and proteins. Stress management also plays a key role, as chronic stress can suppress immune function and make us more vulnerable to illness.

Incorporating mindfulness practices, gentle movement, or simply making time to relax can support long term immune health.

Supplements can provide targeted support during this season. Vitamin D, particularly in the darker months, helps regulate immune responses. Herbal allies such as astragalus, or elderberry may provide additional protection by enhancing immune function.

Terranova’s Astragalus, Elderberry & Garlic Complex, is a synergistic combination of herbs traditionally used to support immune defences. This formula brings together fresh freeze dried astragalus root, elderberry fruit rich inantioxidants and vitamin C, and garlic’s broad spectrum antimicrobial compounds which can help to maintain healthy resistance through the colder months.
