Immunity Declines as Winter Approaches: Experts Urge Preventive Healthcare
Gwangju, Gyeonggi-do - As temperatures drop and air becomes drier, a decline in teh body’s natural defenses is raising concerns about increased susceptibility to colds and bronchitis. Medical professionals are increasingly emphasizing preventive measures to bolster immunity before the peak of winter illness season.
The shift towards proactive immunity strengthening includes treatments like high-dose vitamin injections, fluid therapy, and antioxidant infusions. These interventions aim to combat fatigue and enhance metabolic function by leveraging the roles of key nutrients. Vitamins C and D are crucial for immune cell activity and antioxidant processes, while minerals like magnesium and selenium help mitigate cell damage. These treatments are intended to supplement, not replace, foundational health practices.
“Early winter presents a period where our bodies are more vulnerable due to environmental factors and a tendency for fatigue to accumulate,” explains Jeon Ji-hye, CEO of The Wise healthcare Clinic.”Prioritizing sufficient sleep, a nutritious diet, and regular health checkups is vital to assess and maintain immune status before illness takes hold.”
Experts recommend addressing chronic fatigue proactively, viewing it not simply as overwork but as a potential indicator of underlying immune compromise.November is highlighted as a notably opportune time for immunity management, combining healthy lifestyle choices with preventative medical care to maintain vitality throughout the winter months.
