How to prevent a cold, what to do in order not to get sick

Well, of course, we all want not to get sick and stay healthy, so that later we don't think about how to quickly cure a cold. But, we are not insured against getting sick, especially if we are in a team, our children go to school and Kindergarten... Or maybe there are some remedies to prevent a cold?

I want to say that in winter, the cold air itself that we breathe is not dangerous. It warms up in our nasopharynx and purified and warmer air already reaches the bronchi, but if the air temperature drops to -30, then the air we breathe simply does not have time to warm up and this can cause complications in the bronchi and lungs.

Try to lead an active lifestyle, running, gymnastics, swimming, walking in the fresh air, all this strengthens our immune system. In season colds when leaving the house for yourself and the children, lubricate the nose with oxolinic ointment or baby cream.

When you come home, wash your hands thoroughly. Carry a handkerchief with you on which you drop a few drops of fir, wormwood or lavender oil, and if someone sneezes, apply a handkerchief to your nose, the substances contained in these oils kill germs.

Ventilate the room in which you are more often. Pay attention to your food. Our immune system needs vitamins, proteins, minerals. Complete proteins are found in meat, legumes, fish. Make sure that a sufficient amount of vitamin C is supplied with food, because this is a guarantee of the production of full-fledged immune cells.

Other vitamins are also important. In the season of colds, it is recommended to eat more oranges, lemons, onions, garlic, season dishes with ground black pepper and cloves. Take vitamins, especially pay attention to vitamin C, that is, ascorbic acid. Include in your diet fermented milk products that contain live bacteria and ensure the normal functioning of our gastrointestinal tract.

The tips are quite simple, but effective, if you follow them, that is, there are many chances not to get sick and then you will not have to ask yourself how to quickly cure a cold with folk remedies. Stay healthy.

And this is how we fight the cold. And then in the winter we drink pine tea.
