5 simple ways to beat the Virus
It’s flu season once again and what better way to prevent it is staying healthy by taking care of yourself. Over the counter flu medications help with symptoms but flu is treated primarily with rest and fluid to let the body fight the infection on its own. Here are some tips on how to protect yourself and your loved ones from these diseases.
Hydration
When your body is hydrated, it has the natural ability to flush germs out of your system. And the best and most convenient way to keep you hydrated is by bringing your water on-the-go. That means, your water bottle is your best friend. Medcart has a wide range of water bottles you can choose from. Lightweight, leak proof, airtight lid and double walls that preserve temperature, and most importantly, reusable and better for the environment.
Get enough Sleep
According to SA Health, “Getting enough sleep each day is one of the most important things you can do for your health and wellbeing and to reduce your risk for ill-health”. Adequate sleep helps your immune system function at its best to ward off viruses and bacteria, and lower your risk for serious health problems. Get a good pillow with enhanced support to the head, neck, and upper back, which ensures a night of sound sleep and no fatigue of the neck muscles. You can also use a sleeping eye mask that can provide total darkness, which generally improves overall sleep.
Clean your Hands
Washing your hands often can help protect you from germs. Whether soap comes in a bar or in a liquid form, they are both equally effective at reducing pathogens and removing dirt,” says Rachel Burns, MD, a dermatologist in Edina, Minnesota, and a consultant for Sond Skin, a skincare company that makes both liquid and solid soaps.
Shop hand soaps online and stay clean.
Wear a Mask
Now that the pandemic is over and people are out again, there is a high chance of getting diseases everywhere. Flu viruses spread mainly by droplets when people talk, sneeze or cough. The best way to protect yourself and your loved ones is by taking precautionary measures like wearing a mask when you are out in public places or in crowded areas.
Kids and adults facemasks are available in medcart.com.au, Your Medical Marketplace.
