Dr. Reuben Chen, Chief Medical Advisor at Sunrider International, lends his expertise to a recent Well+Good article that delves into science-backed strategies to bolster immunity during the winter season. Well+Good, an influential digital publication dedicated to holistic well-being, featured Dr. Chen's insights in their December 2023 online issue.  

As the winter months usher in a barrage of germs and viruses, the article sheds light on the factors that compromise the immune system, emphasizing three common culprits: changes in temperature, heightened stress levels, and dietary alterations affecting the gut 

To strengthen immunity and help mitigate the risk of falling prey to seasonal illnesses, Dr. Reuben Chen and the co-contributor to the article, a registered dietician and nutritionist, recommend five science-backed approaches: increasing fiber intake, incorporating probiotics, reducing refined sugar consumption, regular exercise, and maintaining a well-balanced diet. 

According to Dr. Chen, exercise is one of the best ways to help boost your immunity, saying, “Moderate exercise can stimulate cellular immunity by increasing the circulation of immune cells in the body.” 

Dr. Chen also recommends eating a diet that includes a wide variety of foods from different sources, such as fruits, vegetables, meats, and carbohydrates, to name a few. “This will help provide a wider array of micronutrients and macronutrients, along with vitamins and minerals needed for a healthy immune system."
