Crowds of music fans are marking their way to Worthy Farm as this year’s Glastonbury Festival begins.

The first one after the pandemic, this year’s event is set to be bigger and better than ever with more than 3,000 artists set to perform.

Fans will be able to enjoy headline sets from the likes of Billie Eilish, Sir Paul McCartney, Kendrick Lamar, and Diana Ross.

And while rail strikes have been dominating headlines threatening to cause commuting chaos for Glastonbury goers, there is another threat to fans’ enjoyment.

With hundreds of thousands of people heading to the festival, the threat of Covid will be heightened.

Even if you don’t have it, eliminating any possibility that you may have the virus stops you from potentially spreading it to other festival-goers.

Boost your immune system

Additionally, to prepare your immune system for five days of excessive drinking, no sleep and a lot of walking, you might want to get a couple of early nights over the next few days.

Quality sleep is essential for boosting your immune system against threats, with several studies revealing that the risk of infections is higher for those with sleep deprivation.

Its also important to pack plenty of essential food and drinks that you can have at your festival in-between partying.

While fresh foods are a no-no, you’d be surprised by the nutritional value you can get from tinned foods. For example, tinned vegetables like carrot, peas, and sweetcorn will provide you with plenty of vitamins, while tinned meat has protein and carbs, and beans, pulses, or cereal bars are high in …read more
