As the weather shifts and the days get shorter, it’s a good idea to give our immune system a little extra care. This is the time when the first colds show up, energy can dip, and some people start feeling the early signs of winter blues. On cloudy days, these effects can feel even stronger.
Plants offers powerful allies in the form of essential foods our bodies need to function properly.
Alongside this, boosting our intake of spices can help build resilience, especially turmeric, clove, ginger, and rosemary. They can be added to meals, sprinkled on bread, blended into juices and drinks, or simply drank as small shots. It’s also a good idea to consciously supplement with vitamin D3 and B12 to support balance and overall well-being. This is particularly important for people with higher melanin levels, who also benefit greatly from spending time outdoors to soak up as much sunlight as possible. All these practices can help us enter the colder months feeling steadier.
