Season autumn-winter is the period when it is important to strengthen our body. Let us not be fooled by advertising, encouraging the use of tablets and other gadgets to strengthening your body.
Since I have changed my diet and my previous habits, to be honest I can not remember the last time I was ill. I will  share with you my tips how to avoid the cold during winter time.

1.Balance Diet :

A balanced diet is important because your organs and tissues need proper nutrition to work effectively. Without good nutrition, your body is more prone to disease, infection, fatigue, and poor performance.

5. Warm your body from inside:

Try to eat as many hot meals, add spices and herbs that warm you up.When cold weather strikes a chilling blow, it makes sense to consume healthy, warming, concentrated foods. Dark orange vegetables such as sweet potatoes, winter squash, and carrots provide immune nourishing beta-carotene and the warmth of the orange ray.Other warming foods include arugula, mustard greens, and watercress. Nuts, seeds, and their butters make excellent warming and insulating snacks.Culinary herbs that help us feel warmer and improve circulation include: black pepper,cardamom ,cayenne ,cinnamon ,garlic, ginger, horseradish .

6.Dress right for winter:

Cold weather doesn't have to stop you from outdoor exercise, but it is important to dress for the conditions. Start with a base layer made from a material that wicks perspiration away from your skin. This will help keep you dry and warm. Polypropylene, silk, polyester, Thermax, are all good choices. Avoid cotton because it traps moisture, so it stays wet and draws heat away from you. Don't forget to wear hat, scarf and gloves.
