As temperatures drop and the first sign of frost app<\/a>ears, our thoughts turn to staying healthy through the winter months \u2013 especially after the past few years of Covid and nasty flu infections. If you were one of those people who had a cold that wouldn\u2019t shift last year you won\u2019t be surprised to hear that researchers from Queen Mary University of London have confirmed that \u2013 like the unlucky few who develop long Covid \u2013 symptoms of respiratory infections such as the common cold can also persist for more than a month, causing coughs, stomach pain and diarrhoea.<\/p>\n

Whether or not a long cold has you in its grips, many of us could benefit from focusing more on our immunity, suggests Sheena Cruickshank, immunologist and professor in biomedical science<\/a>s and public engagement at the University of Manchester. \u201cModern life is rubbish for our health,\u201d she summarises. \u201cIt favours sedentary lifestyles, being in front of computers, eating convenience food and feeling stressed. All those things are bad for our immune systems.\u201d<\/p>\n

In fact, they can cause a \u201cvery common\u201d but little-discussed condition called meta-inflammation. A healthy immune system involves lots of different types of white blood cells, working together and in balance, Cruickshank says. \u201cWith meta-inflammation, they become imbalanced. You get more of the rapid responders like neutrophils, which trigger inflammation, and less of the specific cells, lymphocytes, which actually make antibodies and kill viruses.\u201d Essentially, you\u2019re more at risk from lurking lurgies. But don\u2019t panic. \u201cIf you fix your diet and lifestyle, it can return to normal. It\u2019s not so much a boost, as a rebalance.\u201d Here\u2019s how you do it.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
