Immunity naturally weakens with age, increasing the risk of contracting infections and them being more severe. As the colder months approach, here are three essential ways to enhance immunity and maintain good health.
Respiratory conditions can range from short-term infections like colds, influenza or bronchitis to chronic illnesses such as asthma or COPD. Our lungs can be susceptible to infections, irritants and inflammation, which can lead to these conditions. Treatments focus on helping you breathe comfortably while minimising the risk of complications.
With the seasons changing, we are seeing more colds and flu, but becoming infected has nothing to do with being outside in the cold weather. Both colds and flu are very infectious and spread by close contact with a cold sufferer or inhaling cold virus spray in the air.
If you’ve found yourself wondering whether your cold needs more than just rest and hot tea, you are not alone. We look at causes of winter coughs and colds and offer advice to help you recover more comfortably.
