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

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.

By the way, at the exposition of the Ministry of Health the doctor introduces guests to the rules of first aid, explains how to work with people who need resuscitation care. Even a person ignorant in medicine can save a life if he acts competently.
