So how to avoid a cold in winter? Today we will tell you how to develop immunity and make it work for you.
1. We reserve ourselves since the summer. First, we will try to eat vitamins as much as possible in the summer and autumn: currants, apples, nuts, carrots and many other vitamins grown in the bosom of nature. It's good if you had supplies for the winter. Jam from raspberry, currant, honey, garlic, onion. And what about phyto-tea? If there is no way to collect St. John's wort, thyme, raspberry leaves, dog rose, chamomile, you can buy it cheaply from grandmothers trading in the markets. Pamper yourself with tea that consists of several herbs. You will immediately feel cheerful, and your body will be stored with useful substances.
2. In autumn and winter we eat more garlic and onions, we use them in preparing dishes), we drink vitamins. By the way, about vitamins. There are a lot of them in our time. Each of us is lost in the choice. In this case, you should consult a therapist who could choose vitamins for you, having studied your previous illnesses and finding out which of the vitamins your body needs most. Despite the fact that ascorbic is the most affordable vitamin at the moment, this does not diminish its merits. This drug is dominated by vitamin C, it will allow you to cope with the coming cold and protect your immunity. The main rule: in order to avoid an unpleasant illness, one should not forget about prophylaxis in the form of vitamins-live and in the form of tablets.
3. If you like the bath, it is recommended to add essential oils to the fireplace, say, with the smell of pine needles. Even if you do not have a cold, then you will feel how it became even easier to breathe.
4. Do not neglect vaccination. In addition to the usual vaccination against influenza, polyclinics were vaccinated against swine flu this year. Yes, this year the swine flu has plagued the nerves a lot and devastated the pockets of residents around the world. Also inoculations are made in February in order to avoid a second wave of infectious diseases.
5. During the infectious period it is worth to be especially attentive to one's health. At the slightest indispositions it is necessary to address to the doctor. The disease is better to treat at home, and not to carry on your feet, infecting half of the colleagues. In the rooms it is recommended to place garlic on the windowsills, in order to prevent the making of herbal inhalations or with all the famous asterisk. Do not forget about the masks. This is one of the best ways to protect your family and friends from your cold. However, the mask should be worn, not only getting sick finally, but also not to get infected. And do not take this as an unreasonable trick. This measure is very justified. It's just that Russian society is not used to this. We perceive this as an act of distance, not protection. The duration of the mask is 3 hours. As a result - considerable damage to the budget. During the flu, the price of masks, as usual, rises at times, as, indeed, for all other medicines. So we recommend you stock up in advance.
Masks are especially effective in places of greatest concentration of people. In general, doctors do not recommend visiting shopping centers, movies and other events in the winter, when a lot of people are carriers of respiratory diseases.
6. If all attempts to not become infected have proved futile, then we must give a decisive rebuff. Pay attention to the medicines your doctor prescribes to you. It's not a secret for anyone that antibiotics negatively affect our body and immunity in general. In some cases, their reception leads to hormonal failure. Therefore, if possible, it is better to avoid antibiotics in treatment. If this is not possible, we advise after the treatment to drink a course of vitamins, which would remove antibiotics from the body and strengthen the shaken immunity.
Eat plenty of vitamins and be healthy!
