Around us, there is always a Superman with physical quality. All the people in the office are blowing their noses, coughing, and sneezing. There is nothing wrong with him. Ask him the knack, the other party ha ha a smile: "no way, inborn is so good health!"
It's very hard to beat, have you? Xiao Jiu tells you, in fact, they are all deceiving. Health is not innate. As long as you master the following secrets, you can also enhance your immunity and stay away from diseases.
1. Sleep for 8 hours
Dr. Hamburg in the UK believed 50 years ago that sleep is the most helpful for colds. Modern medical experts say sleep is good medicine for cold patients.
When people sleep less, are overworked, and are stimulated by cold, their resistance will decrease and cause cold and other diseases. Studies have shown that people who sleep five to six hours a night are 30 percent more likely to catch a cold when the virus strikes, while people who sleep more than seven hours are 17 percent less likely to catch a cold.
2. Supplement vitamin C
In the 1970s, Nobel laureate and chemist Linus Pauling once wrote a book called vitamin C and the common cold, which made the idea that vitamin C can prevent colds. He believes that if the lack of vitamin C, there may be gum bleeding, decreased resistance, and so on. Vitamin C can promote the synthesis of immune protein, increase the activity of functional enzymes, increase the number of lymphocytes and the phagocytic activity of neutrophils. Therefore, more people suggest that patients should take large doses of vitamin C as soon as possible in the cold prone season or after cold symptoms appear.
However, for this concept, the industry has been controversial. Scientists in Australia and Finland conducted an academic review and found that for ordinary people, taking vitamin C does not prevent colds. But adults who take vitamin C have a faster recovery from a cold.
Domestic experts believe that high-dose vitamin C can enhance the ability of white blood cells to phagocytize bacteria and antiviral and shorten the course of cold. However, only high doses of vitamin C can enhance resistance.
3. Optimistic mood
According to a study by Mellon University, those who are happy, enthusiastic, and calm are less likely to develop infectious diseases. They surveyed 193 healthy people and found that optimistic people had fewer cold symptoms and were more resistant to upper respiratory diseases.
Professor Hilton Cohen, who led the study, said: "optimistic people are less likely to catch a cold than people who are depressed. The more positive you are, the less likely you are to catch a cold. " Therefore, the happier you are, the more relaxed you are and the less likely you are to catch a cold.
4. Know how to reduce pressure
If you live under pressure for a long time, the body will protest in different forms. In fact, a cold is physical discomfort caused by stress. A previous Spanish study suggested that psychological stress was a risk factor for the occurrence of colds. Researchers surveyed 1149 college staff and found that psychological stress could increase the incidence rate of 1.9-3.7 by a factor of two.
5. Be hygienic and wash hands frequently
Cold and flu viruses are very easy to infect, as long as you touch the doorknob, the table may bring you because the virus can survive for 2 to 8 hours. And a U.S. study found that 40 percent of people don't wash their hands after coughing or blowing their noses.
