5 Sneaky Ways the Holidays Harm

Your Immunity

By Kelsey Kloss

1.       YOU EAT MORE SIMPLE SUGARS

‘This the reason for mini chocolates, apple pie, and, pumpkin-spice latters, but cold-and-flu season is the worst time to dig in. “Sugar consumption lessens our ability to fight off infections”, says Kathryn Boling MD, a primary care physician at Mercy Medical Center in Baltimore. Phagocytosis, in wich white blood cells attack and engulf viruses and bacteria, is significantly reduced when you eat simple sugars, Indulge in moderation and opt for sugar-free beverages.

2.       YOU ARE IMMERSED IN DRY AIR

“A virus replicates much more effectively on a dry mucous membrane than it does on a moist mucous membrane, so colds and the flu spread like crazy in dry environments,” says Dr. Boling. Turn on a humidifier when you go to sleep at night, and drink plenty of water.

3.       YOU GET STUCK INDOORS

There’s a downside to working extra hours at your desk or hibernating in your warm, cozy house: “When you are not exposed to sunlight, you tend to sleep more and exercise less, which contribute to a weaker immune system,” says Neha Vyas MD, a family medicine doctor at Cleveland Clinic. You may also produce less vitamin D, which boosts immune cell’s production of microbe-flighting proteins. Adults with low vitamin D levels could potentially get sick more often, Consider popping a vitamin D supplement for an extra immunity boost.

4.       YOU GO GIFT SHOPPING

Holiday shopping involves handling cash, opening store doors, and using germy ATMs. One British study found nearly same amount of bacteria (the kind that can cause diarrhea and other sicknesses) on ATM As on public toilets. When New York University researchers tested dollar bills, the identified 3000 types of bacteria, including varieties that cause gastric ulcers, pneumonia, staph infections, and food poisoning. If possible, keep gloves on when you touch door handles or shopping carts, and wash your hands sanitizer before you eat.

5.       YOU SCREW UP YOUR SLEEP

“We go to parties, stay up a little later, and sleep later in the mornings,” says Dr. Boling. “That discruption can be a trigger in people prone to headaches.” Choose instead to fight back againts holiday chaos once the clock striker bedtime. In a university of North Calorilnaat Chapel Hill study, women who had consistent sleep routline reduced headache frequency and intensity.
