Prevention of acute respiratory infections

With the onset of March, the first rays of the sun and ... the next wave of acute viral infections came to us. The first, of course, pleases and raises the mood, and the second, unfortunately, brings not so pleasant moments. And who would be happy with the temperature, runny nose, headache, cough and other troubles associated with a cold. No matter how depressingly sounded the above phrases, there is always a way out of any trouble. The main way out in the fight against autumn-winter-spring viruses is always and will be the prevention of acute respiratory diseases. About it and talk.

The prevention of acute respiratory diseases means a set of measures aimed at strengthening the body's immunity, as well as the use of special immunomodulating agents in the epidemic period, aimed at protecting the body from viruses.

Unfortunately, one should take into account the fact that in fact acute respiratory infections to date continue to be practically uncontrollable infections and there are no radical remedies for their prevention or directly for treatment. Therefore, the main component of any prevention is the strengthening of immunity.

It should be remembered that the strengthening of immunity should be carried out not only during the "wandering" of viral infections, but also throughout the year. Strong immunity is both an inborn factor, and formed in the process of hardening, playing sports, vitamin therapy, etc. We'll figure it out in more detail, what you need to do to make the body more resistant to fighting viruses.

It's not a secret that people who regularly go in for sports, regularly walking outdoors, eating enough vitamins of natural origin, have stronger immunity than those whose main place of residence is a stuffy office and a way of life in the form of hypodynamia, that is, an insufficient number of movements. Our immunity directly depends on the lifestyle that we are leading. Sitting on the computer, content with a quick breakfast and lunch in the form of a sandwich, in a pool of persistent problems and stresses, we simply destroy our immunity. Often, it is very difficult to change something, because you will not quit your job as the main source of income, you can not go anywhere in your life routine, but nevertheless you need to define a vital position that will bring both material benefit and physical health.

What changes in the life rhythm to strengthen physical and mental health? First, you need to minimize the amount of stress, and secondly, you need to respond more calmly to stressful situations. If the former is unlikely, then the second one needs to be learned. Life negativity can not be avoided anywhere, you can not get anywhere near a harmful boss or dissatisfied customers, but it's very, very important to react more calmly to the current negative situation and, of course, it is possible and necessary. Learn to relax and rest, even in those five-ten minutes of free time, which you can always find during the day. And remember Carlson's precious words: "Calm, only calm."

Give a special role in your life to proper nutrition, regular exercise and walking. I think, even you noticed that when you start doing exercises and walk a lot, then sluggishness and drowsiness disappear, the mood and vitality rises. Often time for all this is not enough not because of the full workload, but either because of laziness, or because of an improperly organized day. And, of course, do not forget about a good rest. I think it's better to sacrifice a good movie than two hours of good sleep. The organism will respond to you in return, do not doubt.

Well, a few words about drug prevention. Among the main drugs to combat acute respiratory infections and flu can be identified vaccination and immunomodulators. Widespread use of drugs found on the basis of interferon, a protective protein released by cells in response to the invasion of the virus. An important role in the prevention of acute respiratory diseases belongs to homeopathic medicines (for example, Aflubin, Engistol and others). These drugs help the body cope with the invasion of viruses and in an easier way to transfer the disease.

Remember, preventing a disease is much easier than coping with the attack of viruses. More rest, walk, enjoy life and be healthy!
