What influences our immune system?

The immune system does not work in isolation. Nutrition, sleep, exercise, age, pre-existing conditions and other individual factors can affect its function. However, a single measure or a specific food cannot simply "build up" the complex defence system.

Key points for more vitality

Balanced diet and essential nutrients: A varied diet supplies the body with important vitamins and minerals. Certain nutrients contribute to the normal function of the immune system; however, dietary supplements do not replace a balanced diet.

Propolis – knowledge from the beehive: Propolis is a traditionally valued bee product and part of selected formulations at Kaufhaus der Berge. Find out more about its origin, composition and traditional use in our propolis consultation.

Exercise and restorative sleep: Regular exercise supports overall health and also positively influences immune function. Adequate and restorative sleep is equally important for a well-functioning immune system.

Recovery and stress management: Prolonged stress can affect sleep, eating habits and general well-being. Regular breaks, fresh air and sufficient recovery help to maintain better balance in everyday life.

Kaufhaus der Berge & immune system

At Kaufhaus der Berge, we have been working with traditional natural products and selected ingredients from the Alpine region for many years. This includes bee products such as propolis, which is a component of various formulations and products in our range. We do not see propolis as a substitute for a balanced diet or a healthy lifestyle, but rather as a traditionally valued natural substance whose origin, composition and use we would like to explain in more detail.
