How to avoid colds and flu?

  With the onset of cold weather there is an increase in the number of colds, including influenza. True, runny nose, cough, red eyes, headaches attack is not all. Why someone would manage to avoid these unpleasant infections, and some "pick up" all in a row, a cold is replaced by another?

  There are many theories about this, no one single answer does not. It is assumed that the culprit lifestyle habits. For example, if a person has to travel every day on public transport, then it more likely to forgive than to someone who avoids crowds, closed spaces. Clearly, that is not always possible to change the bus to a private car, office to home office. Why then, among the passengers, fellow, there are some who are not afraid of no flu? They have immunity - said the doctor. And they will be right.

  So, to avoid colds and flu, it is necessary to comply with two conditions: protect yourself against viruses and have a good immune system. The first requirement is very easy to do - buy a surgical mask, it is worth a penny. Use it during epidemics, when the working team who is ill, visiting clinics and TP. Unfortunately, this simple method does not fit all, or rather, almost no one, for reasons quite silly. Well, not the mentality of our people to walk in medical masks. Here to condoms can not teach, and with masks on your face at all a bad job.

It remains the second - to strengthen the immune system. To learn how to do it, conducts research, conferences, theses are written, some refute the views of others. That is really no one knows. Would be reasonable to refer the matter to the doctor immunologist, still an individual matter. Amenable to adjustment of immunosuppression, but it is not easy and not cheap.

But what about the folk remedies samoprofilaktiki honey, garlic, onions, oranges, vitamins, bifidobacteria and yogurt, you ask?Because of centuries of Pocono used to avoid catching colds, flu and even for medicinal purposes. Reply razacharuet. All of them are good that in normal doses no harm to the body does not produce virus and are not afraid. Use them can only be useless in preventive and curative sense. This is the same as that of sexually transmitted diseases do not escape the condom, and Vitaminka, bridou her honey and garlic. It's better to get vaccinated against influenza, only high-quality, imported and hence expensive.
