What to do if you have a stuffy nose due to a wind-heat cold? Here are some tips on how to deal with it

No matter what season it is, it is easy for people to be infected with the cold virus. Wind-heat cold and stuffy nose are major symptoms of colds. How should people with poor health prevent and treat wind-heat cold and stuffy nose? Taking medicine is not the first choice. Doing more prevention work is the key!

1. Avoid colds and stuffy noses. Preventing colds is the key

1. Strengthen physical exercise and improve physical fitness

The human body's own immune system is the best "preventer and doctor" of human diseases. Appropriate exercise can promote the body's endocrine system and maintain the functions of the human organs at a high level, which is manifested in an increase in interleukins in the blood, thereby enhancing the activity of natural killer cells, eliminating invading pathogenic microorganisms, and effectively improving the body's own immunity.

It is recommended to choose milder activities such as walking, cycling, jogging, dancing, Tai Chi, Qigong, etc. High-intensity sports such as marathon not only fail to enhance immunity, but may weaken immune function.

2. Pay attention to a proper diet

The human body's immunity is mostly determined by genetic genes, but the maintenance of the immune system's vitality mainly depends on food. Some food ingredients can help stimulate the immune system and enhance the body's immune ability.

Eating an appropriate amount of protein, vitamin E, vitamin C, carotene, vitamin B, zinc, selenium, calcium, magnesium and other substances can increase the number of human immune cells, and the lack of these nutrients will seriously affect the body's immune system function. As long as you eat on time, are not picky about food, and pay attention to the combination of carotene and coarse and fine grains, you can meet the normal nutritional needs of the human body. Excessive dependence on various nutrients will have an adverse effect on the body's immunity.

3. Ensure good sleep

When a person falls asleep, various processes that are beneficial to enhancing immune function begin immediately. Good sleep can significantly increase the number of two types of lymphocytes in the body. During sleep, the human body produces a sleep factor called muramic acid, which promotes the increase of white blood cells, the activation of macrophages, and the enhancement of the liver's detoxification function, thereby eliminating invading bacteria and viruses.
