- Eat selenium. Such a trace element can support immunity. It is contained in tassels of grapes, in soup of white mushrooms, in a bag of pistachios, oysters and dry red wine.
- Do not be too zealous in the gym. In the cold season, heavy physical activity reduces immunity. No heavy iron objects, only classes on simulators in cardiosal, wushu, yoga, aqua aerobics, pilates, only aerobic exercises.
- Wash your hands often, our grandmothers and mothers have told us about this many times. After all, 90% of all diseases are transmitted through the hands, when we hold on to the handrails in the metro, we shake hands, toss them in the shop windows with a finger, transmitted by airborne droplets.
- No need to pick at the nose. If the dirty finger is licked, only in 70% it will be destroyed by disinfectant saliva. But if you finger in the nose with the same finger, then count the bulletin in your pocket, before the infection it is almost powerless.
- More sex . When sexual activity in the blood increases the production of protective antibodies. And the more they are there, the microbes will have less chance. Another Peter 1 said that the best cold chases a good bath and a good woman.
What to eat and drink so as not to go on sick leave?

Lean meat and nuts. Of the meat is best suited young beef, turkey, chicken. Of nuts - cedar, hazelnuts and walnuts are suitable. Plant and animal proteins provide the body with energy.

Harmful
Do not lean on pasta and white bread. Excess carbohydrates makes a person sluggish, metabolic processes in the body will be slowed down. The process of recovery will also be slowed down.
Fatty products, these include dairy products with a high fat content. The fat is warmed, but at the same time, the activity of enzymes is dulled, and the stomach digest fatty foods with great difficulty.
Spicy spices. Can damage very vulnerable when there is a season of cold infections, mucous of the esophagus, throat, nasopharynx. And if the mucosa is scratched, it favors the appearance of microbes that cause pharyngitis and sore throat.
Scientists have proved that whiners and pessimists often catch colds, are seriously ill and recover for a long time. If you do not want to get sick, then you need to drive sad thoughts and spleen. Here are a few such ways, how to strengthen immunity and cheer up.
We surround ourselves with aromas

Stock up with glucides

With them, you need to be very careful if they eat a lot of sugar will happen "overdose", which can lead to a decrease in tone. But the state of depression is better fighting bitter chocolate.
We lean on lean meat and rice
With the decline of strength, vitamins A (beta-carotene), C, E, in particular B1 and B12, struggle best.
We are stimulated by fatty unsaturated acids, vegetable oils - peanut, sunflower, rapeseed, soybean, olive. Fatty fish species - tuna, herring, mackerel.
With asthenia and fatigue, proteins struggle. Our body does not synthesize them, it's proteins of animal origin contain amino acids. We must not refuse to eat chicken and lean beef. There are also vegetable proteins, and their main sources are red beans, soy, rice.
We learn boxing and stretch like a cat
For many people, doing gymnastics in the morning is a boredom. And let's take an example from our cats, as soon as they wake up, they are so sweetly stretched. And we will also benefit from these cat habits. Sipping smooth movements activate metabolism, give an influx of energy and increase the production of "hormones of joy" - endorphins.
If you began to break down on trifles on your relatives and colleagues, here is the time to learn some aeroboxing techniques. And here you do not need to buy and wear boxing gloves. We stand in front of the mirror, take a boxing rack, and strongly strain the muscles of the face. We begin to box the air, then the left, then the right hand, thereby we will inflict mental blows on all that you have brought out of the peace of mind. Psychologists say that with the help of aeroboxing, the weight of the negative is reset and self-esteem rises. With such a discharge, coordination improves, the vessels of the brain and heart come into tonus.
We leave from the Twilight
