As the nation prepares to unwind for Christmas and New Year's Eve, a formidable new health threat is putting festive plans at risk. A virulent new strain of influenza, dubbed the 'superflu', is sweeping across the UK, affecting countless people including celebrities like Molly-Mae Hague.
With cases soaring just as social calendars fill up, protecting your health has never been more critical. Fortunately, integrating a few key products into your daily routine can provide a significant boost to your body's natural defences.
Prioritise Hand Hygiene On The Go
Maintaining impeccable hygiene is your first line of defence, especially for commuters or those in busy offices. Everyday surfaces from train poles to door handles are hotspots for germs.
Carrying a effective hand sanitiser is essential. The Glow Hub Hand Sanitiser Cleansing Mist (£7) offers a practical solution with its quick-drying, non-sticky formula. Enriched with glycerin to prevent dryness, it comes in three distinct scents and can be easily attached to keys or bags for instant access.
Supercharge Your Morning Routine
For a potent, daily immune boost, consider a ginger shot. Rheal's Ginger Zing Box (£32) provides a convenient two-week supply of single-serve shots, packed with essential vitamins designed to help ward off colds and flu.
If you prefer a sweeter option, Boots Vitamin Gummies Immunity 60 Raspberry Gummies (£11.10) are an excellent alternative. Taking just two per day delivers a blend of vitamin C and zinc, key nutrients that support the immune system's natural function.
Innovative Solutions for Forgetful Users
For those who struggle to remember daily supplements, transdermal patches offer a clever workaround. Kind Patches Defence Patches (£12) are infused with a powerful combination of vitamins and antioxidants, including vitamin C, D3, zinc, and elderberry.
Simply apply one patch to your skin, and it will deliver a steady stream of immune-supporting actives directly into your body throughout the day, ensuring you get the benefits without the hassle of pills or potions.
By adopting these simple yet effective strategies, you can fortify your immune system and increase your chances of enjoying a healthy, uninterrupted festive season with loved ones.
