Seven tips to help you prevent influenza

We can prevent the flu by:

Wash your hands frequently

Wash your hands frequently: Research shows that cold viruses can survive on your hands for 70 hours. When people with colds blow their noses or pick their noses, the virus will get onto their hands. If healthy people shake hands with patients or touch objects touched by patients in public places, they will have cold viruses on their hands. Therefore, washing hands frequently is very important.

Change your toothbrush frequently

Change your toothbrush frequently: People use toothbrushes every day. If they carry viruses, they are prone to repeated infections. In addition, toothbrushes are often in a damp state, and pathogens can easily breed and multiply, which is extremely harmful to your health.

Foot Warmth

Keep your feet warm: Feet are sensitive to temperature. If your feet get cold, it will reflexively cause the blood vessels in the nasal mucosa to contract, making you more susceptible to cold viruses. It is also recommended to wash your face with cold water.

Eating a light diet can prevent influenza

A light diet can prevent influenza: a high-fat, high-protein, and high-sugar diet will reduce the body's immunity. A diet that is too salty will reduce saliva secretion and lysozyme in the mouth, and reduce the secretion of anti-disease factors such as interferon, making it easier for cold viruses to enter the respiratory mucosa and induce a cold.

A good mood is also an important aspect of flu prevention

Ensure proper sleep

Ensure proper sleep: Studies have shown that when people sleep, their bodies produce a substance that improves immunity. Therefore, it is very important for patients with colds to ensure adequate sleep.

Homemade cold medicine

Commonly used cold medicines at home: such as Shuangyi Compound Cold Relief Granules, which contain honeysuckle and isatis root, have the effects of curing colds, resisting viruses, and preventing influenza, and are effective for both prevention and treatment.
