Spring is an extraordinary time. Nature is coming to life after the winter stagnation, all around us is becoming green and colourful. We are increasingly going out for walks or cycling. Don't let a cold spoil these plans!

Treacherous beauty

The first rays of sunshine are interspersed with cold, still winter air. Spring is beautiful, but the weather is treacherous! At night, the temperature often drops below freezing, and during the day it exceeds 10 degrees plus! It's easy to get fooled and forget to wear a hat or scarf. After all, in a few hours they'll only bother us. The result? A cold or a sore throat. So how do you protect yourself from illness and still enjoy spring?

How do you dress so that you don't get cold in the morning and overheat at midday? First of all, define your schedule. If you are going on a pre-Christmas shopping trip and will spend a few hours in the shopping centre, opt for a light jacket.

You will certainly find it easier to wear than a thick coat. If the weather forecast predicts big temperature fluctuations, opt for warm accessories: a woollen hat, gloves and a chunky chimney sweater or cape to throw over your jacket. This combination will ensure that you don't get cold on your way to work in the morning or on your Easter walk. It's easy to stow these accessories in your bag later.

A good solution is to dress in "onions"

Your spring wardrobe should, like the weather, combine thick winter clothes with thin ones. Opt for long-sleeved shirts, leather jackets, thin jumpers and warm accessories. Spring sunshine also encourages physical activity.

Jogging with a partner or friends is a great way not only to get a shapely body, but also to strengthen your bond. Before running, remember the +10 degree rule. If the thermometer shows 8 degrees, dress as if it were 18. The same rule applies to a bike ride or the now fashionable outdoor gym exercises. Be sure to take care of your airways.

Inhaling frosty air through the mouth can end up with tonsillitis

Vitamins will also protect you from spring infection. Take care of your immunity. New vegetables: watercress, radishes, young carrots and chives are a treasure trove of vitamin C, B, beta-carotene and potassium. They not only taste good, but also have a positive effect on the appearance of your complexion, hair and nails. They will make you flourish in spring! Use new vegetables in your Easter recipes. The dishes will be tasty and healthy.

If you feel a scratchy, sore or burning throat - take action! Reach for a remedy that quickly and effectively relieves the problem without putting a strain on your budget. In an emergency, use lozenges.
