Prevention of spring flu, pay attention to daily life

Spring is the season when influenza breaks out. Regardless of whether there are confirmed cases of influenza in your area, you should strengthen your awareness of prevention, wash your hands frequently, maintain a regular diet and lifestyle, avoid a decline in your immune function, and make it easier for the virus to invade. In addition, you should also exercise to enhance your resistance.

1. Pay attention to your daily diet

A proper diet can also improve your immunity. A diet with more meat and less vegetables, too high calories and excess fat is very harmful to the human body. It will reduce the function of the digestive system and the body's ability to fight viruses, allowing the influenza virus to take advantage of the opportunity to enter. Therefore, it is necessary to arrange your diet reasonably and balance various nutrients that help to enhance your physical fitness, such as protein, sugar, fat, minerals, vitamins, etc. You can also supplement with more foods rich in vitamin C, because vitamin C helps to improve immunity. The diet must be regular and not overeating. In addition, you should also remember to drink plenty of water, because getting a sore throat makes you more susceptible to viral attacks.

2. Pay attention to personal hygiene

Personal hygiene also plays a key role in preventing the flu. The influenza virus can easily be transmitted through hands touching objects with the virus on their surfaces and then touching the mouth and nose. Experts say that about half of influenza cases are caused by hand contact, so it is very important to wash your hands frequently and keep your hands clean. You should also try to avoid touching your eyes, mouth, nose, etc. with your hands. In addition, when washing your hands, do not simply rinse them under the faucet, but wash them thoroughly with soap and for as long as possible. Another thing is to remember to wear a mask when going out. Although wearing a mask cannot completely block the virus, it is currently one of the best ways to reduce infection. At least it can help us inhale less viruses floating in the air.

3. Pay attention to personal exercise

Reasonably arranging some physical exercises, such as walking, jogging, climbing, playing ball, practicing Tai Chi, and doing Chinese Tongluo exercises can enhance physical fitness and improve the body's ability to resist viral invasion.

4. Get enough rest

A person's rest and sleep conditions will directly affect the level of resistance, so any activity should be done in moderation, get enough sleep, try not to stay up late, and arrange rest in time when you feel physically tired, so as to stay energetic and have the ability to resist external evil.

5. Pay attention to air circulation

The influenza virus is an airborne virus, which is more easily transmitted in a closed environment. Therefore, we should open windows frequently for ventilation and pay attention to maintaining indoor air circulation to reduce the concentration of viruses in the room and reduce the chance of contact between people and viruses.

For daily activities, try to choose open-air or well-ventilated places, avoid staying in closed environments, and avoid crowded public places. In open air or well-ventilated places, even if there are flu patients around, the virus in the air will be blown away by the wind, and the ultraviolet rays in the sun can also kill the virus well.
