I'm here to send health
During the cold wave season, the influenza virus is extremely active, which poses a serious challenge to people's health. As a doctor, I know how important it is to protect myself and my family from the flu during this extraordinary time. Here are some science-based, rigorous precautions to help you get through this flu rush.
1. Enhance immunity.
1.Eat a balanced diet: Eat a varied diet and make sure you're getting enough protein, vitamins and minerals. Eat foods rich in antioxidants, such as fresh vegetables, fruits, and nuts, in moderation to boost immunity.
2.Regular work and rest: Maintaining a good routine and getting enough sleep can help repair and strengthen the immune system.
3.Moderate exercise: Insist on moderate exercise, such as walking, jogging, yoga, etc., which can help improve physical fitness and enhance immunity.
2. Personal hygiene protection.
1.Wash your hands frequently: Washing your hands with soap and running water, or using an alcohol-based hand sanitizer, can effectively kill the virus.
2.Wear a mask: Wear a mask in public places and in dense crowds to reduce the risk of virus transmission.
3.Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth: These are the ways through which the virus can enter your body, so try to avoid touching these areas with your hands.
3. Environmental cleanliness and ventilation.
1.Regular cleaning: Keep your home environment clean, especially high-touch items in your home, such as doorknobs, switches, cell phones, etc.
2.Ventilation: Open windows at least twice a day for ventilation for more than 30 minutes each time to reduce the concentration of virus in the room.
4. Preventive measures.
1.Get vaccinated against influenza: The flu vaccine is the most effective way to prevent influenza and is recommended before the flu season.
2.Avoid contact with people who are sick: Try to avoid contact with people with the flu to reduce the risk of infection.
3.TCM conditioning: According to the individual's physique, TCM conditioning methods can be used, such as taking Yuling ointment, moxibustion, etc., to improve the body's resistance.
5. Seek medical attention in a timely manner.
1.When you have flu symptoms, such as fever, cough, sore throat, etc., you should seek medical attention in time and follow the doctor's instructions**.
2.When family members** are flu patients, they should strengthen protection to avoid cross-infection.
By taking these measures, we can provide effective protection for ourselves and our families during the high incidence of influenza. The following are two references in both English and Chinese for your reference.
