Every year, every adult experiences an average of three colds, each lasting an average of nine days. At the same time, someone falls under a wave of viral diseases almost every month, and someone manages not to meet with them & nbsp; several years in a row. To get into the ranks of the lucky ones, doctors strongly advise getting vaccinated. And as soon as possible. However, there are simple measures that help resist the attack of viruses and germs and protect the immune system. At the same time, they are simple and known since childhood. However, it would be useful to repeat them. 

How to fight off this virus before it kills you

Method #1: Make friends with fresh air. The general rule is that the immune system is much more comfortable in a warm room than in a cold one. But  the whole problem is that, staying under the roof of your house or office, you & nbsp; thereby allowing the microbes in you to actively circulate, and at the same time helping them to contact others by making contact with others.

  • A walk in the fresh air will give you a break from both your own and other people's microbes and strengthen your immune system.

Method number 2. Rest. There are a million reasons why rest is at the bottom of your work list. But this is what increases susceptibility to colds. The thing is that the constant voltage triggers the generation mechanism

stress hormones such as glucocorticoids. They, in turn, block the signaling molecules of cytokines, which help the immune system fight infections.

  • Proper nutrition, normal sleep, timely rest strengthen the body.

Soap and water — best cold remedies

Method #3.  Wash your hands.  Influenza viruses are easily transmitted through touch. Keep fingers away from eyes, nose and mouth. And be sure to wash your hands: soap and water — the best preventive measures. And don't forget to dry them: wet hands are more likely to spread bacteria than dry ones.

  • Microbes can grow very well on a bar of soap, so it's better  use the dispenser.

Method #4.  Get enough sleep. Restless Nights  deal a severe blow to the immune system. Therefore, try, lying in bed, not to think about your problems. And be sure to get enough sleep.

If a person sleeps less than seven hours a night, their chances of catching a cold are tripled.
