2. Four core strategies to scientifically prevent colds
1. Immunity strengthening program
According to the latest research data, it is normal for adults to have an average of 2-3 colds per year. If there are more than 6 colds, you need to pay special attention to:
| Nutrients | recommended daily amount | best food source |
|---|---|---|
| Vitamin C | 100-200mg | Kiwi/broccoli/strawberry |
| Zinc element | 8-11mg | Oyster/Beef/Pumpkin Seed |
| Vitamin D | 600-800IU | Deep sea fish/egg yolk/sun-dried |
2. Optimization of living habits
• Maintain 7-8 hours of high-quality sleep every day (proportion of deep sleep ≥ 20%)
• 150 minutes of moderate intensity exercise per week
• Ventilate the working environment for 10 minutes every 2 hours
3. TCM conditioning suggestions
Differentiated plans are provided for different physical types:
| Constitution type | Features | Conditioning program |
|---|---|---|
| Qi deficiency | Fatigue easily/fear of wind | Astragalus soaked in water + Baduanjin |
| Yang deficiency quality | cold hands and feet | Moxibustion Guanyuan point |
4. Emergency Guidelines
When initial symptoms appear (itchy throat/sneezing):
• Drink ginger-date tea immediately (3 slices of ginger + 5 red dates boiled in water)
• Nasal irrigation with saline
• Ensure more than 8 hours of sleep
3. Special precautions
1. Be wary of "fake colds": The symptoms of allergic rhinitis are 70% similar to those of a cold. They need to be differentiated by the duration of the disease (allergy usually lasts for more than 2 weeks) and body temperature changes (colds are often accompanied by low-grade fever)
2. Vaccination: The best time for influenza vaccine is September to November every year, and the protective efficacy can reach 60-90%.
3. Hand washing specifications: Use the seven-step hand washing method (the whole process lasts for more than 40 seconds), focusing on cleaning between the fingers and wrists
4. Long-term improvement plan
It is recommended to establish a personal health file to record:
• Number of colds per month and symptom characteristics
• Sleep quality score (1-10 points)
• Changes in stress index
Through 3-6 months of data tracking, key factors that make individuals vulnerable can be found.
Through the above systematic plan, combined with the intestinal flora balance emphasized in recent hot research (it is recommended to consume 300g of fermented foods every day) and vitamin D supplementation (it is recommended to test serum concentrations in northern areas in winter), the frequency of colds can be significantly reduced. If there is no improvement, it is recommended to conduct immune function testing (including IgA, IgG and other indicators).
