1. Wash hands frequently. The research results indicate that the cold virus can survive for 70 hours on the hand. Cold patients may get the virus on their hands while blowing their noses or digging their nostrils. Healthy individuals may carry the cold virus on their hands if they shake hands with the patient or come into contact with objects that the patient has touched in public places; So washing hands frequently is very necessary.
2. Change your toothbrush frequently. People use toothbrushes every day, and if they contain viruses, they are prone to recurrent infections; In addition, toothbrushes are often in a damp state, which can easily breed pathogens and be extremely detrimental to physical health.
3. Keep feet warm. Feet are sensitive to temperature. If the feet catch a cold, it can reflexively cause vasoconstriction of the nasal mucosa, making people susceptible to the invasion of the cold virus; Advocate for washing face with cold water at the same time.
4. A light diet. The “three highs” diet can lower immunity. Eating too salty food can reduce saliva secretion and lysozyme in the mouth, as well as the secretion of interferon and other anti disease factors, making it easy for the cold virus to enter the respiratory mucosa and trigger a cold.
5. Have a pleasant spirit. Medical experts have found through observation that individuals with mental stress and depression have significantly reduced levels of antiviral substances in their bodies; Local immune system decline and susceptibility to colds.
6. Reasonable sleep. Research has shown that during sleep, the body produces a substance that enhances immunity. Therefore, it is very important for cold patients to ensure adequate sleep.
