The flu season is about to enter into force, so now is the time to take care of their health.
Doctors constantly tell us that any disease is easier to prevent using some simple methods of prevention, than to be treated in the future. Each disease has characteristic methods of influence on the human body, so there are special protection measures of a disease.
How to protect yourself from the flu? Therapists called the list of the main ways of protection from this virus:
1. Proper diet, containing a maximum of vitamins and useful minerals for health. In autumn and winter, to lean on seasonal vegetables and fruits, eating them raw. Particularly useful: carrots, beets, apples, citrus, radish, cabbage, onion, garlic. Abstain from fast food, because such food provokes accumulation of fat in the body and clogs it carcinogenic substances, completely killing the immune system.
2. Do not sit in place. People leading a sedentary lifestyle are at risk of catching a viral infection. Not doing anything physically, they become vulnerable and get sick. All muscles and bones have to work so that oxygen enters the blood and enrich the blood stream, the only way will be to produce new immune cells that protect the body from viruses and bacteria.
3. Allow yourself to relax. Work is not a wolf, as they say. But the health to recover will be harder, if not regularly sleep. It is known that the quality of the immune system is affected by the number of hours spent by a person on active work and recreation. So, the ongoing sleep deprivation and workaholism leads to a decrease in protective functions of the organism, as a result of catching the flu is not so difficult.
4. Autumn depression need to be addressed. As a rule, with the arrival of autumn an increasing number of people suffering from common colds and flu, and suffering from depression. The fact is that stress and depressive mood have a negative impact on the immune system, limiting its ability to produce new cells.
5. In the period of exacerbation of influenza should be given due attention to personal hygiene. After visiting public places should wash their hands not just with soap and water, and preferably also with alcohol. It is useful for respiratory mask, which completely protects a person from viruses transmitted by airborne droplets.
