Effective methods to strengthen the immune system

Runny nose, coughing, hoarseness - who doesn't know it?! While some almost never catch a cold, there are people who get it several times a year. The cause is usually a weak immune system. This defense mechanism of our body fends off everything foreign and renders viruses and bacteria harmless. So, if you have a strong immune system, you are less susceptible to infections.

How to strengthen your immune system?

It has been known for a long time that quitting smoking, avoiding alcohol, restful sleep and little stress have a positive effect on the immune system. Balanced nutrition, drinking lots of water, spicy food and vitamin D effectively strengthen our immune system.

It has also been proven that regular exercise - preferably in the fresh air - reduces susceptibility to infections. Everything with measure and goal, of course. If you overdo it, exhaust and overexert yourself completely, you will have exactly the opposite effect.

Fresh air and exercise - a good combination

Although our body can also absorb vitamin D through food, it produces most of it itself with the help of sunlight. Well, and sun, it's only available outside. That's why exercise in the fresh air is a vitamin D booster. And thus a perfect basis for a good immune system.

Why exercise is so important in old age

Unfortunately, flexibility and mobility very often decrease with age. A vicious circle begins. Those who are restricted in their mobility, feel increasingly insecure or unsteady. Therefore they regrettably often give up going for a walk. Unfortunately, lack of exercise leads to even more immobility and increases the feeling of insecurity. Since the muscles get too few impulses due to the lack of stimuli , they slowly but steadily regress. This leads to a loss of strength, which usually causes seniors or people with disabilities to move and walk even less.

Mobile in old age: breaking the vicious circle

Regular exercise in the fresh air is important not only to maintain mobility, but also – as described above – to strengthen and keep the immune system intact. If you feel unsafe when on a walk, and need several breaks or are afraid of falling, we recommend a rollator as an aid.

A rollator: immunization on wheels

A rollator can be the gateway to freedom for many people with disabilities. It is a valuable support when walking. In addition, thanks to the comfortable seat, you can take breaks anywhere. Equipped with a bag or a basket, a rollator is also the perfect shopping companion.

A rollator or a walker helps people get moving again. Anyone who takes a walk through the park, forest or just in the city with the rollator not only strengthens their mobility, but also their immune system.

Health beats shame

We often hear that older people, who are becoming more immobile, would rather not leave the house at all than use a walker. That always makes us very sad because we know what the consequences can be. And above all, how difficult and tedious it is to compensate for these consequences.

However, this shame is completely needless. Look at the advantages a rollator ist giving you: it helps to strengthen your immune system and thus your sense of well-being and health. So, just walk your snazzy vehicle with a proud swelled chest. And snazzy, that's actually a lot of rollators! Modern design, fresh colors, sporty versions - you will find all of this in our extensive range.
