What if cold season starts before the first sniffle?

Your immune system is already working long before symptoms show up.

Before It Starts

Your cold & flu season self-care should start long before you feel sick. More indoor time means more shared air and germ exposure. Your ever-attentive innate immune defenses are already working before any antibodies need to join in the fray.

Signs You Might Have Cold Season Pressure

😴 I am sleeping less.
🏢 I am indoors more.
✈️ Travel is up.
🧼 I touch & share things.
🌬️ Windows stay closed.
🥗 Meals look less colorful.
😵 Stress runs the show.

More indoor time, more shared air, and more germ exposure give viruses more chances to breach your airways. Innate immune defenses respond first. Sleep, nutrition, movement, and stress help to optimize that response. In Chinese medicine, Wei Qi describes our defensive immunity readiness.

Routines can help Wei Qi

Sleep 7 to 9 hours.
Active movement for 20 to 30 minutes most days.
Open windows or run a HEPA filter in shared rooms.
Wash hands for 20 seconds after contacting shared surfaces.
Build wholesome meals around colorful plants and adequate protein.
Stay hydrated with tea and water.

Herbs can help, too
