Patients of Zainsk district were reminded about strengthening of immunity
As part of preventive work with the population, Zinaida E. Chernova, a paramedic at the Bukhara medical and obstetric center of the Zainsk Central District Hospital, held a meeting with the villagers. The topic of the conversation was the strengthening of immunity in old age.
Zinaida Efimovna noted that after the age of 60, the human immune system is less active, and the body becomes more vulnerable to viruses and infections. However, a proper lifestyle and simple habits will help maintain your defenses.
The main recommendations of the paramedic for the villagers of the silver age:
1. Balanced nutrition. Vegetables, fruits, and herbs must be present in the diet. Special attention should be paid to foods rich in vitamin C (rosehip, sauerkraut, bell pepper) and zinc (legumes, lean meat).
2. Movement is life. Even moderate physical activity (outdoor walks, gardening, Nordic walking) improves blood circulation and metabolism.
3. Sleep and rest mode. A sound sleep of at least 7-8 hours is necessary for the recovery of the body.
4. Control of chronic diseases. The paramedic reminded that untreated foci of infection (for example, bad teeth or chronic inflammation) weaken the immune system. It is important to undergo a medical examination on time and take medications prescribed by a doctor.
5. Avoiding stress. Positive emotions and communication with family and friends work wonders.
The residents of Bukhara thanked Zinaida Yefimovna for a useful conversation and promised to pay more attention to their health during the off-season.
