It is not very pleasant when, at the most inopportune moment, a sore throat, a runny nose and a cough appear. In general, the human body catches a cold and gets sick. There are three main peak seasonal phases for colds and acute respiratory infections. Autumn-winter – November-December, winter – end of January, beginning of February and spring – mid-late March. In the first case, this is due to the fact that the body begins to adapt to the change of season, and there are fewer daylight hours. Moreover, vitamin D, which is responsible for the metabolic process, ceases to be enough. The basic elements that are necessary for the body’s immunity begin to be absorbed worse. For example, calcium, vitamin C, vitamin A, phosphorus and others. This leads to the fact that the protective mechanism begins to weaken. In the second case, this is due to the fact that the temperature in the room and the temperature outside are often diametrically opposed. Because of what, the central nervous system begins to overstrain, there is a dissonance in the work of internal chemical processes and the person begins to get sick. In the third case, a cold is associated with beriberi and the restructuring of the body to other biological rhythms.
How to prepare for this period?
First, you need to remember that the basic and decisive are vitamin complexes, which include vitamins D, E, B, A and C, which in turn help to absorb calcium, phosphorus and zinc. These elements are necessary for the relevant functioning of the brain, stomach and provide strong bones. With a cold, in the first place, the joints, kidneys and head begin to hurt. In no case, if you get sick, you can not stop taking vitamins. This will reduce to a minimum various kinds of special preparations. And if you started taking antibiotics, then the complexes help restore the liver and kidneys, which suffer in the first place.
It is very important to notice the symptoms of the disease ahead of time and start drinking specialized teas that help remove toxins from the body. It is desirable that hot drinks contain a large amount of sea buckthorn, viburnum, raspberries and citrus fruits. This shock dose of vitamin C helps not only stop the process, but also reverse it.
Of course, one cannot do without specialized drugs that remove sputum from the lungs, relieve swelling of the nasal mucosa with a runny nose and soften the walls of the throat with a dry or wet cough. At the same time, people who smoke are primarily at risk. The fact is that when the lungs are damaged, the accumulated fluid inside (this is due to the temperature shock that the lungs receive when inhaling hot smoke) begins to thicken. Naturally, the bronchi begin to hurt very much due to overexertion. If you do not start taking the appropriate drugs on time, then there is a high probability of developing inflammatory processes, which can lead to pneumonia.
If you want to protect yourself from colds, viral and respiratory diseases, then you need to constantly consume vitamins. And if you are already sick, then be sure to consult with your doctor and undergo a course of treatment. At the same time, you should not stop using supplements after eating. Be healthy!
