HOW TO AVOID UPPER RESPIRATORY TRACT #VIRUS DURING THE HOLIDAYS

If you have ever had a cold or the flu, then you already know about an upper respiratory virus. The common cold is the most well-known upper respiratory infection (URI) while the #COVID-19 infection is a lower respiratory infection. Usually, the main cause of this type of infection are #viruses and bacteria.

Most URI are contagious and spread from one person to another through sneezing, droplets and direct hand-to-hand contact. The risk of catching this type of infection goes up especially with a weakened immune system.

The secret to avoiding viruses & bacteria is to keep your immune system in great shape.  JUST WATCH, this is what our immune system does every Nano second of our existing life.

We become more susceptible to colds and flu if we are overwork, have no time for sleep and  consistently eating a poor diet high in saturated fats and sugar. For example, if you eat refined sugar rich foods like white bread, biscuits and lots caffeine. This weaken the speed at which our immune cell can chase after these invading nasties. This makes us more susceptible to infection.

Imagine what happens in this state if you get in contact with someone suffering from a cold or flu, you would have doubled your chances of catching this infection. If we could all keep our immune system functionally optimally, we could all avoid becoming sick in the first place.

The treatment option for this type of infection is relief of the symptoms using medications like cough expectorants, anti-histamine & paracetamols to reduce the symptoms like headache, body ache, runny nose and sore throat.

However, using #allnatural remedies and plenty of bed rest  also all help to strengthen your immune system making the cells faster at catching viruses and bacteria quickly before they multiply.

Examples of #allnatural remedies include increasing your fluid intake because fluid help the lymphatic system to function efficiently. Not drinking fluid like black tea or coffee especially when you have a cold or cough because they dehydrate the body. However, drink plenty of water and #herbaltea.

A traditional #herbal remedy for colds  and flu that is children friendly is soup made with 6xsmall onions chopped , a whole garlic , 1x tablespoon of thyme & small finger size ginger and fresh lemongrass  cooked with chicken and 600ml of water  in a pressure cooker for 15 mins.
