Actively support your immune system?
Your immune system is a miracle of nature — complex, smart, and strong. This internal defense mechanism works day and night to protect your body from external influences. Especially during periods of seasonal change, stress, or fatigue, your resistance can use some extra attention.
Although there is no magic formula to "not get sick", you can contribute to a strong and resilient body with a healthy lifestyle and conscious choices. So give your immune system some love, rest and support, and it will protect you in turn. At the bottom of this page you will find some practical tips.

Reinforce your immune system in a natural way
1. Ensure a varied diet
Food is your fuel — including your immune system. Eat lots of vegetables, fruits, whole grains, nuts, and seeds every day. Think in terms of color on your plate: the more varied, the better. Avoid highly processed foods and sugars where possible.
2. Sleep is your secret weapon
During your sleep, your body recovers, waste products are removed and your immune system gets time to recover. Try to sleep 7 to 9 hours a night. And don't see sleep as a luxury, but as a basis.
3. Exercise regularly, but listen to your body
A daily walk, yoga or cycling stimulates your blood circulation and helps to remove waste. Preferably exercise outdoors for an extra boost of daylight and fresh air.
4. Reduce moments of stress
Long-term stress can put pressure on your immune system. Find relaxation in the small things: a warm bath, a good book, music, breathing exercises or a walk in nature. Give yourself a moment of rest every day.
5. Support your body with soothing rituals
Herbal tea, aromatherapy or a foot massage can help to keep your body and mind in balance. Think of a cup of tea with herbs like ginger, thyme or sage — just for your own moment of rest.
6. Provide fresh air and daylight
Ventilate your home well and ensure daily exposure to daylight. Even on cloudy days, fresh air is a natural stimulant for your rhythm and energy level.
