Warm water keeps the mucous membranes of the nose and throat moist, relieving pain and preventing cold viruses from penetrating the body. [사진=클립아트코리아]Rain will begin to fall in the metropolitan area and northern Gangwon at dawn, expanding to the central region in the morning and the southern region at night. After the rain stops, the temperature will drop and it will be cold. The lowest morning temperature is forecast to be 8 to 17 degrees, and the highest daytime temperature is forecast to be 16 to 25 degrees.
Today’s health = In dry weather with a large daily temperature difference like these days, the respiratory system dries out and immunity decreases, making it easy to catch a cold. It is very common, but in fact, the cold, a representative disease that mankind has not been able to conquer, is so difficult to obtain treatment through medicine that there is a saying, ‘If you take medicine for a week, if you don’t take it for 7 days.’
In other words, even if you take cold medicine, the symptoms will only be suppressed for a while, and you will eventually have to overcome the cold through your immunity. So what are some ways to increase immunity and help prevent and overcome colds?
Drink warm water often
When your throat is sore due to a cold, drink warm water often. Ginger tea, jujube tea, and herbal tea are also good choices. Warm water keeps the mucous membranes of the nose and throat moist, relieving pain and preventing cold viruses from penetrating the body.
Take Vitamin C and Zinc
According to studies, taking vitamin C reduces the duration of colds by about 8% in adults and 14% in children. Additionally, people who took zinc got rid of their colds two days earlier on average than people who took a placebo. Zinc is rich in oysters, pumpkin seeds, oats, crab, and black beans, and vitamin C is a water-soluble vitamin that is excreted through urine, so it is best to consume it frequently at different times.
Take a hot shower and sleep well
Studies have shown that people who sleep less than 7 hours a day are three times more likely to catch a cold than people who sleep more than 8 hours. Just as you feel lighter when you wake up after a good night’s sleep when you have a cold, a good night’s sleep prevents colds and helps the body recover. In particular, hot showers are an effective way to relieve tension in the body, help you sleep better, and moisturize your respiratory system.
