ArabiaWeather - There are many ways that you can follow to maintain your health during the cold winter months. The University Health Center offers you some simple tips that will help you maintain your health.
Remember to cover your mouth and nose when you cough or sneeze. If you don't have a tissue, cough or sneeze into your upper sleeve or arm. Wash your hands regularly using soap and warm water and scrub them for at least 20 seconds. If you cannot wash your hands, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer.
Drinking enough water every day boosts your immune system and helps you fight viruses. Try to drink enough water equal to two-thirds of your body weight daily.
Low levels of vitamin D can make you vulnerable to diseases and negatively affect your mental health. Boost your vitamin D levels by getting sun exposure and eating foods high in vitamin D, such as mushrooms and salmon.
Cold air and low humidity can cause dry and itchy skin. Protect your skin by applying lip balm, using a humidifier in your room, minimizing your time in the shower, and applying moisturizer immediately after showering.
Lack of sleep can weaken your immune system. Maintaining a consistent sleep schedule and getting seven to nine hours of sleep each night allows your body to rest and protect against disease.
Vaccinations are an important strategy to help prevent the spread of COVID-19, influenza, and infectious diseases
If you feel symptoms of the disease, do not underestimate it, and see your doctor immediately to receive the necessary treatment in a timely manner
