It is always unpleasant to be sick, but at the end of winter it is very easy to find yourself on sick leave because of an injury or acute respiratory infection. In Pavilion C "In the Service of Health" you can learn how to maintain an immune system and take care of yourself.

In winter, the risk of injury increases, so it's more important than ever to exercise caution, avoid ice, don't walk under roof arches, and wear comfortable shoes. Respiratory infections are another common cause of health problems.

"As a protection method, masks are always relevant. The main thing is to wear them correctly: do not touch them with dirty hands and change them every two hours. Few people follow this rule, and therefore do not see the effect. One also should not neglect hand antiseptic," said Norik Sarkisyan, an anesthesiologist-resuscitator.

In addition, the doctor reminded that it is also very important to support the immune system. And for this purpose, first of all, it is necessary to have a good sleep. Sleep deficiency not only reduces the body's defence functions, but also accelerates the aging process, leads to irritability and reduces concentration, negatively affects the hormonal system.

"It is also imperative to normalize nutrition, eat more vegetables and fruits, especially seasonal. But I would not advise eating a lot of sauerkraut, for example. Because of the greater amount of salt, it is useful only for healthy people. And if you have kidney problems or hypertension, it is prohibited," said the doctor.
