I'm here to send health title: "Spring Flu Prevention: How to Strengthen Self-Protection".
In the spring, everything recovers, and the flu virus becomes active. As an experienced doctor, I know the importance of self-protection during this season. In the following, I will elaborate on the measures to prevent influenza in the spring from various aspects.
1. Improve self-immunity.
1.Eat a balanced diet: Maintain a varied diet with adequate intake of protein, vitamins and minerals, especially foods rich in vitamin C and vitamin A, such as citrus fruits, carrots, spinach, etc.
2.Moderate exercise: Insist on doing moderate aerobic exercise every day, such as walking, jogging, swimming, etc., to enhance physical fitness and improve immunity.
3.Get enough sleep: Maintain a good routine and ensure 7-8 hours of sleep a day to help repair and strengthen the immune system.
2. Maintain good hygiene.
1.Wash your hands frequently: Wash your hands with soap and running water, especially after touching public objects, and avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth with unwashed hands.
2.Avoid crowded places: Try to avoid crowded places to reduce exposure to influenza viruses.
3.Wear a mask: During flu season, wearing a mask when you go outside can help reduce the risk of infection.
3. Get vaccinated.
Getting a flu vaccine is the most effective way to prevent influenza. The flu vaccine is updated every year according to the mutations of the influenza virus, therefore, it is recommended to get the latest flu vaccine every year.
Fourth, traditional Chinese medicine health care.
1.Dietary therapy: In spring, you can appropriately eat foods that have the effects of clearing heat and detoxifying, nourishing yin and moisturizing dryness, such as white fungus, lotus seeds, lilies, etc.
2.Medicinal tea: honeysuckle, chrysanthemum, mulberry leaves and other Chinese herbs with heat-clearing, detoxification, antiviral effects, can be made into tea and drunk.
3.Moxibustion: Moxibustion has the effect of warming the meridians and dissipating cold, strengthening the right and dispelling evil, which can enhance immunity and prevent influenza.
5. Psychological adjustment.
Maintain a good mindset and avoid excessive tension and anxiety. Studies have shown that psychological stress can affect the function of the immune system and increase the risk of getting the flu.
To sum up, the prevention of influenza in spring needs to start from many aspects, such as improving self-immunity, maintaining good hygiene habits, vaccination, traditional Chinese medicine health care, and psychological adjustment. Only by comprehensively strengthening self-protection can we effectively reduce the risk of influenza infection.
