Preventive maintenance of infectious diseases: we raise or increase immunity

The topic "Infectious diseases and their prevention" has been raised by specialists for a long time. Outbreaks of epidemics of infection, unfortunately, occur almost every year in the autumn-winter period, when the human body is exposed to hypothermia. Some people with weakened immunity, even if they are not supercooled, get infected from carriers of infection quite often. This happens to them because of the failure to take measures to improve the protective properties of the immune system.

What is an infection?

The prevention of infectious diseases depends in part on the nature of the infection, from which we want to protect our body.

Infection is the defeat of a living organism by microorganisms (bacteria, fungi and protozoa), viruses and prions. There are several of its types, which depend on the location of bacteria, the pathogenicity of microorganisms, as well as the protective capacity of the organism:

• Local. Occurs when local tissue damage occurs with microbes. Most often it develops on the site of the entry of the microbe and is accompanied by a severe inflammation. This species is represented by angina, diphtheria;
• Common. It happens when microorganisms get into the blood. First the microbe enters the tissues, multiplies at the site of penetration, and then it enters the bloodstream, which causes widespread infection. This is typical for influenza, syphilis, tuberculosis;
• Latent. At this type of infection, the microorganism multiplies in the body, initially without causing any symptoms. Examples are chronic gonorrhea and salmonellosis.

Prevention of infectious diseases by means of organism hardening

The essence of any prevention of infection is an increase in the protective properties of the body. For this, the immune system responds, which can weaken under the influence of stress, after taking antibiotics and a number of other factors. Initially, it is formed and strengthened when the baby is fed milk of the mother, with which he receives the necessary substances - the "building material" of the immune system.

However, if this system is weakened, it can be restored. You should start with hardening in the summer to get your body to react adequately to hypothermia. For this, dousing with cold water is suitable for such a scheme:

1. Do the procedure the first month every 3 days, then with an interval of 2 days. In the cold season it is better not to conduct it.
2. The water temperature for the first time should be slightly warm and decrease with each time.

If you feel unwell, which lasts more than 2 days, stop the procedure. Despite the fact that, in addition to increasing the immune barrier, it tones up the vessels, increases the elasticity of the skin and favorably affects the nervous system, it may not suit all people, depending on their general state of the organism.

Medication measures for the prevention of infectious diseases

With the help of medication or vaccination, the body's protective barrier can be raised.

So, there are immunocorrectors: tsikloferon, erbisol, immunostat, arbidol, which help fight the body with infection. Their reception at the first stage of the disease provides recovery the next day.

Prevention of infectious diseases with the help of folk remedies

There are effective recipes for improving immunity, which can be used at home. Let us give an example of one of them.

Ingredients

1. 200 g walnuts.
2. 400 g of honey.
3. 4 lemons.
4. 100 g raisins.
5. 50 g of dried apricots.

Cooking method

• Chop nuts, lemons (with peel), raisins and dried apricots. For this you can use a meat grinder;

• Let it brew for 1 week in the refrigerator. It is important that the mixture is in a glass container;
• Take this drug you need 1 tablespoon 3 times a day for a month. If you are allergic to one of the ingredients, you can not take the mixture.

Thus, we learned that there are many ways to increase the protective properties of the immune system. If the prevention of infectious diseases occurs regularly, then you can forget about infection for a long time.
