For each of us the most important value is health: and your, and your family.
Spring weather tempts you to jump out on the street light. And Hey, the drafts! “Hello, cold! How some people manage to be healthy?
Oh, those lucky people who don’t know the word “cold”! How do they do it? They are so lucky from birth, or they live in some special conditions? Actually – no, they are people just like everyone else. Just that they have certain habits that allow them to have an incredibly high immune system.
REGULAR RESTFUL SLEEP
From childhood we are pursuing this recommendation. We’ve heard it from doctors, caregivers, teachers, neighbors, parents. From whom else? And continued to ignore. Meanwhile, it has long been established that those who sleep at least 8 hours, THREE times less likely to catch a cold, not sleeping more than seven hours. The explanation is simple: at night the body recovers and the level of stress hormones, due to which we, among other things, become sensitive to infections, is also returning to normal.
SUPPORT EACH OTHER
Often meet loved ones, your family or good friends, especially if you are experiencing difficult times, problems at work or home. A study published in the journal Psychological Science shows that people who are stressed, are sick less often, if they have a support group. The more close people confidentially communicate to each other the higher their immunity.
VITAMINS IN THE DIET
And again twenty-five! A million times we’ve heard about the benefits of vitamins, nodded… and went to have a snack these tips fries. But just enough to add foods that are rich in antioxidants. Carrot contains beta-carotene, citrus fruits and bell peppers contain vitamin C, corn and almonds — vitamin E, red grapes or red wine — resveratrol. All these substances serve to restore cells damaged in the fight against germs and bacteria. More tips for prevention of colds and flu.
SAY “OM-M-M”
Did you know that two hours after yoga and breathing exercises in a soft, gentle, protective power of your body like get some incentive? So says a study published in the journal Public library of science.
HELP YOUR INTESTINES
In the intestine contains more than a kilogram of bacteria that help us digest food and protect against infections. If in the cold season you will be to eat foods with probiotics, you will strengthen your immune system. “Again, some dietary Supplements” — will tell someone and be wrong. Probiotics are microorganisms that are similar or identical with our intestinal flora. The more of them will be in your intestines, the more fun you will live and the more difficult infections to win a place under the Sun.
In the sale there are many products with probiotics, mostly dairy products. However, the good old sauerkraut, pickled apples, and other traditional pickles, obtained through lactic acid fermentation — are also probiotics.
WASH YOUR HANDS BEFORE EATING
Yes, again the good, old, known since birth recommendations. But they do tend to be true. No need to become hygiene-Nazis there is absolutely. Just wash your hands before eating and after eating, the toilet, sneezing and coughing, and the risk of infection will be reduced by 15-50 %. Your friends — simple soap and water. Even antibacterial soap is not necessary. Well, if the hands have no place to wash, hygienic alcohol solution containing at least 60 % alcohol.
