All supermoms want their kids to always be healthy, strong and free from cough. Though it’s impossible to keep the kids from getting sick, it helps to know there are ways to prevent cough and how to cure it in its early stage.
Help keep your family cough and cold-free.
1) Improve your immune system.
- Get regular exercise and practice a healthy lifestyle, this makes it easier for your body to fight off infection.
- Get 8 hours of sleep and avoid stress.Stress reduces the effectiveness of the immune system.
- Have a well-balanced diet. Eat lots of fresh fruit and vegetables.
2) Keep those germs away.
- Wash your hands frequently or keep a hand sanitizer or alcohol in your bag. Colds are passed on by the tiniest droplets, your hand may be contaminated with germs.
- Avoid touching your face. Viruses enter the body through the mouth, nose and eyes.
- Keep away if someone is sneezing or coughing close to you.
- Avoid sharing cups, glasses and cutlery among family members and friends.
3) Maintain a healthy environment.
- Avoid high levels of heating or rooms that are too hot where it’s easier for germs to start an infection.
- Avoid drastic changes in temperature. The shock of moving from a cool, air-conditioned room to a hot area puts extra strain on the immune system.
- Air rooms regularly. Fresh air helps keep the mucous membranes healthy and moist.
Beat those cough and colds:
- Drink 8 to 10 glasses of water everyday. Infected mucous membranes tend to dry out. Avoid drinking alcohol, coffee or black tea; they dry out your body. Drink water, juices, and herbal or fruit tea instead.
- Avoid re-infection. Practice the “Dracula cough”. Turn your head away from people, and cough inside the elbow or use disposable paper tissues instead of cloth handkerchiefs.
- Wash your hands after blowing your nose. Cold viruses can remain contagious on the skin for several hours.
