In these days when the weather is starting to show its cool face, it is necessary to eat adequately and correctly to protect ourselves from diseases because we all know that the risk of catching diseases increases during seasonal transitions. Let's talk about a few points we need to pay attention to in order to avoid catching diseases that affect both our social and business lives and leave us defenseless.
A strong immune system shields us against diseases such as flu, flu, and cold. It prevents microbes from entering the body. During these periods, we can strengthen our immunity and accelerate the healing process of our existing diseases, if any, by paying more attention to our diet.
First of all, by consuming sufficient water, we facilitate the elimination of toxins accumulated in the body. As the weather gets colder, we don't realize we're thirsty, so we drink less water. The daily water requirement of a healthy individual is 30 ml per kg (2.1 liters for a 70 kg person). In this way, we can calculate our minimum daily water need with a simple calculation. In addition to water consumption, herbal teas such as green tea, ginger, sage and linden that we consume during these periods will be very effective in keeping our body resistance strong.
For a strong immune system, it is necessary to consume sufficient amounts of all food groups, as well as regular consumption of water and herbal tea. It is very important to increase daily fruit and vegetable consumption, especially foods containing antioxidant vitamins A, C and E. We can easily meet the amount of vitamins and minerals we need by consuming 5-6 portions of fresh vegetables and fruits per day when they are in season. We also meet our daily protein needs by consuming milk, yoghurt, meat, chicken and especially fish. In addition to all this, we protect our digestive system by consuming probiotic-containing foods. A healthy digestive system also means strong immunity.
In addition to nutrition and fluid intake, regular sleep and regular physical activity are also effective in gaining body resistance. Again, as the weather gets colder, we are less exposed to fresh air due to doors and windows closing. Inhalation, contact, etc. Paying attention to hand and body hygiene to protect against microbes entering the body through other means It is also very important to get plenty of fresh air, not to smoke, and not to be in environments where smoking is allowed.
Paying attention to the points I have mentioned above will make our job much easier in order to prevent seasonal diseases that affect the quality of life or to overcome the diseases we have caught more easily. I wish everyone a healthy day.
