Russian media introduced three laws to prevent diseases.
Russian Womanhit news network recommends the following methods:
First of all, excessive drinking and smoking will reduce the body's resistance, which will damage health. Although many people can't give up smoking and drinking completely, it is necessary to reduce alcohol intake and smoke less to ensure good health.
Second, please delete fast food, fried food and smoked food from your diet. In addition, people are advised to drink more pure water, red plum moss juice and honey lemon tea in autumn.
Third, a good sleep is essential. Only by getting enough sleep for 7-8 hours and recovering well can we better resist the invasion of viruses, bacteria and microorganisms.
In particular, it should be reminded that insufficient nutrition and eating too little will affect your health, so it is recommended that women who are keen on losing weight should not go on a diet in autumn. Three meals a day must ensure adequate protein, fat, carbohydrates, vitamins and minerals.
Gastroenterologists say that with the arrival of autumn, the duration of a day is shortened, and most people will lack vitamin D, resulting in decreased resistance, depression and weakness. When the flu is high, especially when the seasons change, if the body lacks nutrition again, it will make the physical condition worse. In addition, dieting can lead to a series of health problems such as diarrhea, constipation, flatulence, gastrointestinal discomfort, abdominal pain, heartburn, pancreatitis, gastritis, peptic ulcer, urolithiasis, gallstones and so on. Experts suggest, don't trust the online diet, and follow the doctor's advice to lose weight reasonably.
It is also important to have a reasonable diet. Too single food is not good for your health. If dairy products, fruits and vegetables, cereal bread, meat and fish are not properly matched, it will affect the nutritional balance. The so-called "unreasonable" means: I don't know the nutritional value of these foods and I don't know how much I should eat. Unreasonable diet can also make people susceptible to influenza, colds and angina pectoris.
As we all know, the complications of influenza are very dangerous, so don't carry the flu hard, and don't buy antibiotics and antiviral drugs for self-treatment. When you feel unwell, what you need to do is to see a doctor at the first time and follow the doctor's advice.
