Here comes the flu season: are you ready?

We have the best tips for overcoming the greatest affliction of winter. Learn the best way to escape from the flu.

Nose running, annoying cough and an uncontrollable urge to lie down in a bed? Yes, having a cold or flu is something common this season, but there are ways to mitigate their effects in the body. Follow our suggestions!

Blow your nose. More. Much more.

You may want to keep your nose clean to prevent bacteria in the sputum to continue to contaminate it. So, keep a tissue in hand and blow your nose often. Pay attention only to the intensity with which you do it: excessive pressure can cause sore ears. Press one nostril at a time to blow the other.

Take a hot shower

The steam helps to decongest a runny nose, causing the nostrils to release the threatening bacteria from the body.

Sleep with an extra cushion

Keep right during sleep may not seem the most comfortable position in the world, but this may cause annoying fluids to leave you alone, ensuring you get a sense of relief, allowing you to rest better.

Drink hot beverages

Hot drinks relieve nasal congestion, while avoiding dehydration caused by the constant fluid loss.

Rest

If you are not at rest, your body can´t focus on natural defenses. Consequently, it will be exposed to greater external aggressions, the recovery will be rather more difficult and longer.

Try home remedies

There are many remedies that can heal the flu, especially without causing side effects of the chemicals present in medicines. For example, the next time you go to the beach, bring a bottle of seawater and inspire it when you get constipated. Soups are also very effective in combating constipation, especially because you avoid to swallow solid foods, that are more aggressive to the throat. Eating garlic can also boost your natural defenses.
