Winter is the period when the season of flu, colds and various viral diseases begins, from which all of humanity suffers greatly, but most of all children. For some reason it turns out that everywhere on the planet, wherever it comes winter time, along with it come seasonal diseases. Scientists have put forward several theories on this matter as to why this happens.

• First theory is that at this time of year, people spend a lot more time in indoors inhaling and exhaling the same air.
• Second says that everything is caused by too much short days, and very long nights. After all, it is a known fact that in dark time days, the body does not receive enough melanin and vitamin D, and the drop in temperature weakens the body’s protective properties too much, the immune system becomes very weak to independently resist viral infections.
• A third theory, explains the tendency and susceptibility of our body to infectious diseases in winter due to very cold and too dry air. It is for this simple reason that there are no epidemiological outbreaks of influenza in summer period when the air is very warm and humid.

Influenza is an acute, respiratory and infectious disease respiratory tract which is caused by influenza viruses. Quite often it spreads in the form of large-scale epidemics. In almost 100% of people, this disease is characterized by a rapid onset. The head begins to hurt severely, the person feels weak in all parts of the body, it becomes difficult and painful to swallow, a runny nose and sneezing appear, often all this is accompanied by sharp increase body temperature, in some cases this temperature reaches 40 degrees.

Also, if you do not get rid of the flu in time, it may well cause complications on the kidneys. But, as you know, in most cases it is much easier to prevent a disease than to cure it later. You should always remember that with any treatment for influenza, the first rule is bed rest, at least 3 days to fully recover, and be cheerful and full of energy. So today we will tell you about all possible ways increasing immunity in winter, when the body so needs protection and vitaminization.

1. Correct and balanced diet. First of all, you need to make every effort to ensure that your daily ration included proteins, fats and carbohydrates. If you deny yourself any of these components, you may experience unexpected disruptions in your body. Proteins are responsible for the formation of antibodies - immunoglobulins, fats contribute to the proliferation of macrophages, which capture and process bacteria, and foods rich in carbohydrates are simply irreplaceable in the body as energy suppliers. People often make mistakes when choosing carbohydrates; they choose buns, sweets or pasta, which have minimal benefits. Useful and necessary for the body carbohydrates are fruits, vegetables and various grains.
2. Vitamins are one of the main means of protecting the body from colds or flu. If you provide your body with vitamins C, A and E as much as possible during the cold season, then the risk of catching the flu virus will decrease by 50–70%. If we're talking about about vitamins, for some reason everyone immediately rushes only to fruits and vegetables. This is considered incorrect, because vitamins and microelements are found not only in this type of food. Your diet must include a variety of foods, ranging from cereals, berries, fruits, herbs, and ending with meat and fish. To obtain a strong and resistant immunity to viral diseases, it is necessary to: large quantities provide him with manganese, zinc, iron and iodine. Also, in order to strengthen the immune system, you need to eat legumes, nuts and pumpkin seeds.
3. Fresh air, sports and healthy image life. Teach your body that, regardless of the time of year or weather, you need to spend at least two hours a day on fresh air. It is best if it is a sport, for example, morning jogging, which in the end will end contrast shower. You will then forget about headaches, fatigue, drowsiness and frequent viral diseases, and also form a beautiful and fit body.
4. Onions and garlic, the main enemies of viruses, respiratory diseases. These products are simply irreplaceable in strengthening the immune system and resisting viral diseases. Just one clove of garlic or half a small onion per day will bring many benefits to your body. But to get maximum protection against the flu with the help of these foods, you need to eat them in the morning (on an empty stomach) and in the evening (before bed). Many people do not do this in the morning due to the fact that after eating such peculiar foods there remains a lot of bad smell from mouth. Some people boost their immunity with onions and garlic by swallowing them in small pieces without chewing. This is wrong, because to overcome the disease it is necessary that a little juice from these vegetables remain in the oral cavity, then you can fully count on maximum protection from viruses.
5. Green tea. Every cup of this drink contributes to ruin pharmacy business. Everyone has long known that this tea contains a lot of antioxidants, which help remove toxins from the body and also prevent their reappearance. This tea contains many vitamins and microelements that help improve immunity and thus protect the body from colds. If you cook at initial stages colds and flu green tea, then we can completely prevent further development this temporary disease. Also, if you drink green tea, at least one cup every half hour, you can significantly reduce your body temperature.

Traditional recipes for treating influenza

• Almost all people who suffer from the flu are confident that they will get rid of this disease in just one or two days; it is simply not realistic. But if you use garlic and onions correctly, it is quite possible. First of all, you need to take a medium, or better yet, large onion, cut it in half, and during the day, every half hour, inhale its fumes. And at a time when you are not inhaling the vapors of the onion, then put a cotton wool, which has previously been soaked in fresh crushed garlic, into each nasal passage.
• Another salvation from the flu will be garlic juice. You need to crush a clove of garlic, squeeze out the juice from it, and drop a few drops of this juice onto your tongue, about 3-4 times a day. But you don’t need to swallow garlic juice right away or wash it down with something; you need to hold it in your mouth for a few seconds to get the maximum benefit.
• While everyone is soaring their feet, we suggest doing the same procedure only for the hands. For such baths we need big basin so that your hands can be placed in it up to your elbows. We heat the water to a temperature of 37–38 degrees, pour it into a previously prepared vessel, and also place a kettle with boiling water near us. Place your hands in 38 degree water and gradually add boiling water until the water reaches 42 degrees. At around 41–42 degrees, the water must be kept constantly for 10 minutes while your hands are immersed in it. Then we take our hands out of the water, put on mittens and sleep in them the whole night. This procedure leaves no chance of survival for any flu.
• For quick disposal for flu symptoms, in the initial stages, we only need beer and chicken eggs. Take 4 eggs, thoroughly grind them with sugar, add 3-4 cloves, a pinch of cinnamon, 0.5 lemon zest and 0.5 liters of beer. The resulting mixture must be simmered over low heat for 7 minutes. After this folk remedy has cooled slightly, you need to take a little more than half a glass, 3-4 times a day. True, this decoction is not very tasty, but it is a fact that after 1-2 days of taking it, not a trace of the flu will remain.
• When it comes to folk remedies against the flu, we must not forget about such a wonderful fruit as lemon. Lemon slices can be put in tea, but not in boiling water, because this way you immediately kill it all beneficial features. And also good result can be expected if a cut piece of this fruit with peel is placed behind the cheek and dissolved for several minutes. When you no longer feel its acidity, you can eat this natural vitamin, but after 40 min. do not drink or eat anything. This treatment must be repeated at least 3 times a day.

Infectious diseases are diseases caused in one way or another by bacteria, viruses and other organisms. Since these diseases are often transmitted from person to person, it is very common to see outbreaks in a certain segment of the population. To protect yourself from an infectious disease, it is important to follow certain preventive measures. Thanks to several healthy habits and the tips in this article, you can protect yourself from germs and diseases.

Steps

Prevention of infectious diseases

Wash your hands. Hand hygiene is extremely important when it comes to preventing the spread of infectious diseases. Pathogens (such as viruses, bacteria and fungi) are easily transmitted through various surfaces and remain on the skin, where they can easily enter the body through the eyes, nose or mouth. This is why hand washing is the number one priority for preventing the transmission of infections.

Try not to touch your face, eyes and nose. People touch their faces repeatedly throughout the day. It is at these moments that infectious agents on the hands can enter the body. While the skin prevents pathogens from entering the body, the eyes and mucous membranes in the nose and mouth do not protect the body from this.

• In addition to maintaining hand hygiene, try not to touch your face, even with clean hands.
• Try to avoid contact of your hands or arms with your face, even when you are coughing or when you need to blow your nose. Use a scarf for this.
• If you don't have a tissue, cover your mouth or nose with your elbow. Use paper tissues whenever possible. Throw them away immediately after use and wash your hands with soap.

1. Get all your vaccinations up to date. Vaccines are disease prevention. They help prevent illness caused by infectious agents or make its course less acute. Vaccines stimulate the immune system's response to specific pathogens, so that if you are exposed to that pathogen, your immune system will fight it more effectively.

   Stay home. If you are sick, it is extremely important to minimize contact with other people to limit the spread of infection. Some infectious diseases are not easily transmitted from person to person through contact, but other infections can spread very quickly, so in any case, if you have any symptoms of an infectious disease, it is recommended to stay home.

   • Being in in public places, cover your mouth and nose with your elbow if you cough. Do not use your hands to avoid the spread of pathogens through the air and various surfaces you touch.
   • If you are sick, wash your hands and shared surfaces frequently to minimize the transmission of germs.

2. Prepare and store food properly. Some pathogens can enter the body through food—illnesses caused by these pathogens are called foodborne or intestinal infections. Once a contaminated product enters the body, the pathogen begins to multiply and cause illness. This is why it is extremely important to prepare and store all foods safely.

   • Prepare food responsibly to avoid cross-contamination. Raw foods Never cook on the same surfaces as prepared foods.
   • Clean work surfaces regularly and keep them clean and dry. Pathogens thrive and reproduce in humid environments.
   • Wash your hands before handling food and immediately after you finish preparing food. Also wash your hands whenever you finish handling one product and are about to handle another (for example, you have finished handling raw meat and start working with vegetables).
   • Food must be stored at safe temperatures (refrigerated if necessary). If you doubt the quality of the product, it is better to throw it away. If the product has changed color or texture or has strange smell, then it has probably gone bad.
   • Hot food should be eaten after cooking, and if it needs to be preserved, leave it on the table until it cools, and then put it in the refrigerator to prevent the growth of pathogens.

3. Practice safe sex and do not share personal hygiene items. Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) are spread from person to person through contact physiological fluids with the genitals, mucous membranes of the mouth and eyes. Exercise safe sex to limit the risk of STDs.

   • Always use condoms or dental dams during any sexual encounter, especially if you are not in a monogamous relationship.
   • Do not have sex if you or your partner has herpes or genital warts, as this may spread the incurable herpes virus.
   • Check yourself for STDs before and after sexual relations with each new partner.

4. Travel wisely. Know the risks various infections when planning a trip. Certain infections may be common in some places that are not present in the places where you live.

   • Ask your doctor what vaccinations you need before traveling. This will prepare your immune system for exposure to pathogens in the area where you plan to travel.
   • Wash your hands as often as possible while traveling to avoid transferring germs from your hands to your body.
   • Protect yourself from infections that can be carried by mosquitoes. Use mosquito nets for windows and when sleeping, use special insecticides and wear long sleeves.

   Treatment of infectious diseases

   1. Different kinds infectious diseases. remember, that various diseases can be caused by different agents. This will help you know the risk factors and avoid them.

   2. Treat bacterial infections with antibiotics. Antibiotics are medications which help fight bacterial infections. They inactivate or kill bacterial cells, and thus help the immune system fight bacteria.

      • Apply antibiotic cream or ointment to small wounds that have become infected. Signs of a wound infection may include redness, swelling, warmth, or pain. Do not apply antibiotic products to bleeding wounds, especially if they are deep. If bleeding from the wound does not stop, consult a doctor.
      • With systemic bacterial infections Consult your doctor and find out whether you should take oral antibiotics or not.
      • It is important to remember that antibiotics are powerless against viral infections such as influenza or ARVI. A doctor can determine whether an infection is viral or bacterial and prescribe appropriate treatment.
      • Take antibiotics exactly as prescribed. Taking antibiotics when they are not needed (such as during a viral infection) only increases bacterial resistance to antibiotics.

   3. Treatment of viral infections. Viral infections are not treated with antibiotics; there are special ones against them. antiviral drugs, which are used only against certain viruses. Some viral infections can be treated with home remedies such as rest, sleep and drinking plenty of fluids.

      • Some drugs, known as antivirals or antiretrovirals, are effective against certain types viruses, preventing them from reproducing their DNA in the cells of the body.
      • Some viral infections, such as ARVI, require only symptomatic treatment to alleviate the patient's condition. The virus will be fought by the body's immune system, unless, of course, you have an immune deficiency and you get enough rest and enough nutrients.
      • Many viral diseases can be prevented through vaccination. This is why it is important to do everything necessary vaccinations during.

Metals accumulate in the body gradually. A person who is attentive to his health may well notice the first signs of poisoning: weakness, decreased performance, fatigue. True, as a rule, he often chalks it up to other reasons and does not sound the alarm. And the negative impact hazardous substances meanwhile it continues...

Scientists have found a way to combat this problem. Selenium, the 34th element in the periodic table, can bind and remove from the body salts of such complex and dangerous poisons, like arsenic, cadmium, lead, platinum, mercury. Selenium also perfectly fights the toxic effects of nitrites and nitrates and removes breakdown products of many from the liver. synthetic drugs. And this is especially important for older people who need to cleanse the body of toxins as much as possible.

In addition, it has been proven that selenium can resist and tobacco smoke. At the same time, it is worth understanding that the more toxic factors accumulate around a person, the more acutely he needs detox.

Selenium deficiency is observed in 80% of the population - scientists from the Institute of Nutrition of the Russian Academy of Medical Sciences came to such disappointing conclusions. This means that most people are completely defenseless against negative influence environment. But making up for the lack of substance is not so difficult. It is enough, for example, to buy selenium-containing drugs at the pharmacy, such as Selenium-Active.
