SOUTHERN VIEW<br />
Be health smart<br />
this winter<br />
HaNDS arE the main pathways of germ<br />
transmission. Hand hygiene is therefore<br />
the most important measure to avoid the<br />
transmission of harmful germs.<br />
Wash your hands, before & after food<br />
preparation and eating, if you borrow<br />
someone elses equipment and of course<br />
after blowing your nose. For convenience<br />
it is a good idea to have hand sanitiser on<br />
hand to use in between washing.<br />
Sneezing & coughing into the crook<br />
of your arm or tissues rather than your<br />
hand, reduces the spread of airborne<br />
bugs. remove tissues to the rubbish<br />
immediately.<br />
Keep hydrated, two thirds of your body<br />
is made of water, so keeping hydrated<br />
is one of the most important things you<br />
can do for your health. Dehydration<br />
symptoms range from headaches to<br />
nausea to fatigue, but the effects of<br />
dehydration on your immune system are<br />
not always as obvious. Staying hydrated<br />
keeps the mucus membranes moist, which<br />
keeps the immune system functioning<br />
optimally. Unfortunately, lattes and wine<br />
don’t count, but upping your intake of<br />
water is incredibly beneficial. aim to<br />
drink at least eight glasses of water a day.<br />
You’ll notice the difference!<br />
Eat in season, poor nutrition impairs<br />
the immune response. Fresh vegetables,<br />
fruits, nuts, grains and legumes or pulses<br />
are full of immune-boosting properties<br />
and antioxidants. Nature provides fresh<br />
seasonal foods to compensate for what<br />
our bodies are lacking at that time of<br />
year. Kiwifruit & citrus fruits that are in<br />
season throughout winter are packed with<br />
Vitamin C.<br />
Stress less, although short periods of<br />
stress can actually be good for us longterm<br />
chronic stress lowers our immunity,<br />
making us more susceptible to colds and<br />
flu. We all have our own ways of coping<br />
and reducing stress so whether it’s taking<br />
a bath, going to the gym, getting outdoors<br />
in the garden or having fun with the kids,<br />
do something to unwind. Not only are<br />
you doing your adrenal glands a favour,<br />
you’re also reducing your chances of being<br />
struck down by the latest virus.<br />
Get a good night’s sleep, sleep is<br />
essential for your body to rest, repair and<br />
rejuvenate. (Don’t you find you always<br />
tend to look your best after a good night’s<br />
sleep?) The human growth hormone<br />
that’s released during sleep helps repair<br />
your body at a cellular level, but it’s<br />
also beneficial for the immune system.<br />
Interrupted sleep (or just not enough of<br />
it) significantly reduces the effectiveness<br />
of your immune system, particularly the<br />
natural killer cells, which is your body’s<br />
first line of defence against germs.<br />
