Valeria Lanskaya and Sati Casanova told how they increase immunity in the fall

Autumn is a rather stressful period. A decline in immunity and mood affects health. Moreover, not only among mere mortals. Our stars are also suffering, although the concept of sick leave is strictly prohibited for them: constant concerts and filming do not even give them the opportunity to rest properly. They exclusively told Moskovsky Komsomolets about how artists boost their immunity to avoid getting sick.

Ekaterina Boldysheva, lead singer of the group “Mirage”:

“For me, a cold is the biggest trouble that can happen to me. I always sing live at concerts, not to a soundtrack. Fortunately, we have a lot of concerts, and sometimes we have to fly from one city to another across our entire huge country. It’s completely unbearable to be on a plane with a sore throat and runny nose, let alone go on stage, sing and delight the audience. Therefore, I treat my body and immunity extremely responsibly.

To maintain immunity, I prefer “folk” remedies that are always on hand, and I try to avoid pills as much as possible. In my case it works. So, what I use: ginger, lemon, honey, chamomile, various citrus fruits – oranges, grapefruits. It’s tasty, healthy, and very effective. Perhaps the fact that I don’t smoke, don’t drink and exercise a lot also helps me. Perhaps the only thing my body won’t thank me for is sleep. Sometimes there is very little sleep, especially when traveling from concert to concert. But when it’s a day off, getting some sleep is a sacred thing!

Valeria Lanskaya, actress:

“In autumn you need to eat more vegetables and fruits. We always have oranges, apples, and kiwis on our table. We drink tea with lemon and honey. I also love cinnamon tea. An important point is to monitor your daily routine. Now I go to bed an hour earlier than usual. I also make a tasty and healthy mixture to boost immunity. The composition includes 200 grams of dried apricots, prunes and raisins. Dried fruits must be poured with boiling water and left in hot water for about 10 minutes. Then take one lemon, cut it finely and remove all the seeds. Place dried fruits and lemon in a blender and grind. Add 3-4 tablespoons of honey to the resulting mixture. Mix. Place the finished product in glass jars and store in the refrigerator. But keep it in the jar for no more than two weeks! I drink tea with this mixture, and you can also spread it on cookies.

Aniri, singer and blogger:

“Immunity needs to be maintained constantly, not only in autumn and winter. And, in my opinion, we need to do this by following the instructions we all know: eat right, exercise, don’t drink, don’t smoke, toughen up and move as much as possible. And also do what you love, so that every day brings you joy and a feeling of deep satisfaction, and not blues and disappointment in life. In addition to the obligatory lemons, ginger, onions and garlic, and vitamin D, I have some very tasty advice for those who don’t want to get caught up in colds. This is feijoa mashed with sugar. An amazingly tasty “medicine” that will appeal to both adults and children. You can find it in the store or order delivery online. In general, love life and enjoy every moment of it! Sores don’t stick to optimists!”

Sati Casanova, singer:

“To strengthen your immune system in the fall, you need to eat more warm dishes. Instead of vegetable salad and fruits, it is better to cook vegetables in a double boiler. In cold seasons, use warming spices more often: turmeric, black pepper, cumin, chili, dried ginger root.

And many more during this period begin to consume vitamins in large quantities, since it is known that vitamin deficiency often occurs in the fall. I advise you not to prescribe vitamins yourself. Take a blood test and see what your body is missing. Consult your doctor about which vitamins and how to use them correctly.

Another autumn-winter “secret” is to eat more ghee. It not only warms the body, but also strengthens the immune system, normalizes digestion and is very beneficial for ligaments and joints. But, of course, you need to use it within reasonable limits and only if you have no contraindications.

In autumn and winter I constantly drink tea. I even have a recipe for healthy tea to support the immune system: it contains a whole mix of products aimed at preventing you from getting sick during the cold season. This is echinacea tea. Its medicinal properties have been known for a very long time. The taste of the drink is pleasant – citrus and herbal.”
