Therefore, we should favor daily routines and warm meals (made with seasonal ingredients such as root vegetables, squash, pumpkins, cooked apples, and grains). It is very important to always allow ourselves to rest after major exertion. These tips will give us energy until the end of the season and even prevent us from catching a cold!
Here are 3 simple routines to avoid the cold at the first symptoms;
