Did you know that approximately 200,000 individuals are hospitalised each year due to flu-related complications, with many dying?
If you follow these suggestions, this could be the year you avoid getting sick.
Get Vaccinated Against The Fever or Flu
The flu season lasts from October to May, so if you haven’t taken your flu shot yet, now is the time to do so. Consider that the vaccine takes between 2 and 4 weeks to start working and that it will last at least 6 months. You will be prepared for the flu peak, which normally occurs in January or February, if you are vaccinated now.
Even if you acquire the flu after getting vaccinated, your symptoms are likely to be less due to the partial protection you’ve built up.
Wash Your Hands
When the virus comes into touch with the mucosa of the nose, throat, and respiratory tract, it spreads. As a result, we should strive to avoid touching these areas if we haven’t already washed our hands. After returning from the street, and always before eating, we should wash our hands.
Through tiny virus-filled droplets of saliva, infected people can spread the disease by sneezing, coughing, or even merely talking. Although we are more likely to catch the flu by hitting the elevator button or using a phone that has been used by a sick individual.
The best thing to do is disinfect often used devices like cellphones, laptop keyboards, doorknobs, and so on.
Get Enough Rest
Rest can be crucial, and it can mean the difference between getting sick and not getting sick. Sleeping more than 8 hours every day reduces the risk of catching a cold.
Even if you don’t have time to snooze, studies show that a few minutes of meditation can help you avoid colds and the flu. According to a new study from the University of Wisconsin, participants who participated in an 8-week meditation session were 30 percent less likely to become ill. Simply sitting in a peaceful area for few minutes each day, concentrating, and breathing gently can help strengthen your viral defenses.
Foods to Fight Colds
Did you realise that the way we eat can help us stay healthy?
We must limit our intake of fatty foods and increase our intake of foods that boost our immune system, such as fruits and vegetables.
5 to 9 servings of fruits and vegetables per day are suggested, with the largest amounts of vitamins C, E, and beta-carotene found in orange, yellow-orange, and dark green fruits and vegetables. They’re antioxidants that boost our immune system’s performance and, as a result, boost our immune system of the body.
