10 tips for avoiding the most common diseases Winter

Winter is the coldest season of the year and usually low temperatures bring a drier climate in the south and rainy in the north. Thereby, many diseases are common this time of year, such as colds, colds and even mycosis.
Confira algumas dicas para evitar as doenças mais comuns do inverno e aproveitar o que essa estação tem de melhor.

1. Hidrate-se constantemente.
O inverno pode ser muito seco em diversas regiões do país e, devido a isso, surgem doenças decorrentes do ressecamento das vias aéreas. Coloque bacias de água ou toalhas molhadas nos cômodos da casa para umidificar o ambiente. Essa medida evita doenças como bronquite, pneumonia, rinite, alergias, etc.

2. Eat well.
Normalmente as pessoas no inverno tendem a comer comidas mais gordurosas para se esquentarem e se esquecem das frutas e vegetais. Tente ingerir de 5-7 porções de vegetais durante o dia, pois eles contêm vitaminas, minerais e antioxidantes que fortalecem o sistema imune. Dê atenção especial à vitamina C, found in oranges and citrus fruits, and zinc, present in shellfish, meats and cereals.

3. Warm your throat well.
For this, teas and hot drinks are the best indication. The use of scarves is also recommended. These habits, in addition to preventing sore throats, can help fight other diseases, such as colds and tonsillitis.

4. Avoid wearing closed shoes or socks all day.
Keeping feet without ventilation encourages the growth of fungi that cause mycosis. When possible, prefer to wear flip-flops to ventilate your feet. This prevents athlete's foot and nail fungus.

5. Avoid taking very hot baths.
In addition to drying out the skin, poorly dried hot steam accumulates on the skin, favors the growth of fungi and the emergence of ringworm. Besides that, ao invés de usar roupas fechadas sintéticas, opte por usar roupas de algodão que absorvem a umidade. Essa prática ajuda a prevenir a pitiríase versicolor (também conhecida como micose de praia ou pano branco).

6. Mantenha as roupas de cama sempre limpas.
Caso precise usar cobertores e edredons guardados, lave-os antes. Prefira secar as roupas ao sol. Isso evita doenças como rinite alérgica e asma.

7. Vacine-se contra a gripe.
At this time of year, as pessoas tendem a ficar mais juntas em ambientes fechados para se manterem aquecidas. Isso facilita a transmissão de vírus, como os da gripe A. For this, mantenha-se em dia com relação à sua vacina.

8. Evite ficar em ambientes fechados.
As previously said, a transmissão de vírus e bactérias é favorecida. Evite também estar perto de fumantes ou fumar, pois isso irrita as mucosas nasais e vias aéreas. Isso evita o aparecimento de meningites e doenças respiratórias.

9. Exercite-se regularmente.
Atividades aeróbicas como nadar, correr ou simplesmente andar ajudam a eliminar toxinas que enfraquecem o sistema respiratório e aumentam a capacidade respiratória. Algumas atividades são excelentes para combater a bronquite e outras doenças respiratórias.

10. Use soro fisiológico para umidificar as narinas.
Ele também tem a importante função de lavar o nariz e as vias aéreas. Essa medida ajuda a prevenir otite, sinusite e outras doenças das vias aéreas.

Com essas dicas você poderá aproveitar o friozinho do inverno de maneira muito mais saudável!
