On New Year's Eve, it is customary to worry about gifts for loved ones and a festive table. In this bustle, many forget to take care of their health. As a result, a long-awaited holiday can be spoiled by a cold or flu. Another danger on New Year's Eve is the increased workload. Overwork can cause exacerbation of chronic diseases, headaches, neuroses and depression. Timely prevention will help you maintain good health for New Year's Eve.
Instructions
Step 1
Protect your immune system so you don't get colds or flu. If you are not opposed to vaccinations, take care of vaccination in a timely manner, even in the fall. In addition, you can protect yourself from a viral infection with drugs of the interferon group. Native leukocyte interferon is produced in ampoules. It must be diluted with boiled water at room temperature and instilled into the nose once a day, 2-3 drops in each nostril. Synthetic interferon is produced in various forms. Choose the one that is more convenient for you: reaferon, influenza - drops, viferon - rectal suppositories and intranasal ointment.
Step 2
Nonspecific immune stimulation during an epidemic is provided by bacterial vaccines - lysates. These include IRS-19, bronchomunal, imudon, ribomunil. These drugs are used to prevent ARVI, primarily by people with broncho-pulmonary pathologies. Immunal and Derinat are recommended for healthy people. Taking these drugs increases a person's production of their own interferons, which are able to resist viruses and prevent disease.
Step 3
Take vitamins. Large doses of vitamin C are taken both for the prevention of influenza and for a speedy recovery. It is best if this vitamin is in a natural, not synthetic form: drink rosehip infusions, cranberry and lingonberry fruit drinks, tea with lemon.
Step 4
Use natural phytoncide - garlic. It can be used both internally and externally. Place a saucer of garlic cloves on your desk in your bedroom and breathe in its healing scent. During an epidemic, a child can hang garlic beads around his neck.
Step 5
To prevent the pre-New Year time pressure at work from becoming a cause of overwork, adjust your work schedule. Try to reduce the load as much as possible; periods of active work should alternate with rest. To strengthen the nervous system, provide yourself and your loved ones with a good night's sleep in a ventilated area.
Step 6
Traditional medicine tonics will help you withstand increased loads. Instead of coffee, drink green tea, grape, carrot, beetroot and pomegranate juices, and an infusion of lingonberry leaves.
Step 7
Take a bath with essential oils or pine extract every night. For people of mental work, contrast foot baths are also very useful. Pour hot water (40-50 degrees) into one basin, and cold water into the other. Keep your feet in hot water for 5 minutes, in cold water for 1 minute. Repeat 3-5 times. Then dry your feet and massage with cream or camphor alcohol.
Step 8
When you feel fatigued, start taking honey with pollen every day. Tinctures of ginseng, Rhodiola rosea and Eleutherococcus also have a tonic effect. They can be purchased at the pharmacy and used according to the instructions.
