Have you ever wondered what makes a person healthy and immune to the attack of disease-causing microbes? Why is that some people cough and sneeze every time the flu season arrives, while some are always fit as a fiddle?
Today, we will tell you about nine habits of people who rarely fall sick, and we are sure that many of these habits will leave you surprised.
1)They sleep on time.
In the modern world, sleep is one of the most neglected aspects of our lives. Hectic work schedules, late-night parties, internet addiction- many factors are coming in our way of getting a sound sleep. Sleep is vital to the rest and recovery of our body.
Lack of sleep can weaken your immunity and make you susceptible to bugs and viruses. Prolonged sleep deprivation also leads to obesity and hypertension. So make sure that you get seven to eight hours of sleep every night.
2)They drink eight glasses of water everyday
You must have heard the benefits of staying hydrated. Proper hydration helps in good digestion and aids weight loss. There are more benefits of drinking the recommended eight glasses of water every day, and one of them is strong immunity.
Drinking a sufficient amount of water boosts the production of lymph, which collect harmful bacteria and remove them from the body. By drinking more water, we are also making our kidneys flush out more toxins from our body. Additionally, hydration allows a general cleanse of all our body parts and organs.
3)They maintain good hygiene
Individuals who maintain good health protect themselves from the onslaught of infectious germs. Good hygiene practices help prevent the spread of infections.
Always remember to wash your hands after using the bathroom, or once you are done with your gardening or any other task where your hands can get dirty. Also, wash your hands after coughing, sneezing, or visiting a sick person.
Cover your mouth with a tissue every time you cough or sneeze. Do not pick or squeeze your pimples or pick the scabs on your wounds. Pay attention to the cleanliness of your surroundings as well. Do not let dust accumulate on the floor, curtains, and furniture of your home.
4)They keep their food clean
Individuals who pay attention to the proper storage and cleanliness of the food items in their households prevent food-borne illnesses and stay healthy. Rinse all meat, poultry, vegetables, etc. under running water before cooking. Wash your hands before and after handling raw meat.
Do not keep raw and cooked food on the same utensils. Cook your meat thoroughly, use a meat thermometer to ensure that they have been cooked to the ideal temperature. Defrost food only in a microwave or a refrigerator.
5)They are vaccinated
Vaccinations help avoid illnesses that otherwise occur easily and can also be deadly. There are diseases like measles that can cause additional complications of pneumonia and brain inflammation. And guess what? You can save your child from measles by timely vaccination.
Today, vaccines have become very safe, and have far fewer additives in them than a decade ago. The side-effects of vaccination are temporary- you might get a sore arm or a mild fever from the shots. The benefits far outweigh the small side effects.
