Winter can be a challenging period for most of us. The colder temperatures and fewer hours of daylight mean we have to adapt to a new routine that can affect your mood and your immune system.
You might have already endured seasonal allergies, sniffles, or any other headaches the season brings, but for those who have been lucky so far, don't let your luck run out. We've listed four simple lifestyle tips to help keep you healthy and energised this winter.
Be prepared
A sore throat, aching ears, or a persistent cough are the first warning signs of disease. Don't ignore these symptoms! Before you know it you will be stuck in bed wishing you took action long before.
We love Sportron's Infagard for just such and emergency. Nothing fights off infection better than the perfect combination of herbal ingredients you'll find in Infagard.
Sportron's Infagard contains:
Echinacea
Peppermint
Astragalus
Chamomile
Garlic
Golden Seal
Lemon Verbena
Sweet Orange Peel
Yarrow
All you need is a couple of drops a day. It also comes in a handy 30ml bottle that you can conveniently take wherever you go.
Take supplements
The purpose of food supplements is to deliver essential nutrients that might be absent, or perhaps of low quantity in the foods you consume. Nutrients include vitamins, minerals, amino acids, fatty acids, and other healthy substances.

Our number one recommended brand of food supplements is Sportron. Sportron uses a technology called FoodState®. FoodState® supplements are the closest form of real food nutrition you can find. These nutrients are absorbed more effectively than other products and are retained up to 16 times longer by the body.
Get enough sleep
The cold weather can have a drastic impact on your sleep schedule. And getting a good night's sleep is crucial for rebooting and powering your body for the next day.
We recommend you try Sportron's Calcitone, Neurotron, and Omegatone. All these supplements help you to maintain your regular sleeping patterns and reduce tiredness.
Manage your stress
Stress has a direct impact on the immune system. Your immune system is the channel your body uses to combat infection and diseases. Stress weakens your system's forces putting you at risk of sickness and distress.
We love Sportron's Immune Pack, especially during the colder months when people are coughing and sneezing around you. The pack contains Phytogard and C-Gard. Both protect help combat against the factors that might be causing your persistent cold.
Another Sportron product to try is Respitron (available in tablets or syrup). Respitron is uniquely formulated to help maximize the body's defence mechanisms against sinus congestion, hay fever, asthma, allergies, and environmental pollution.
