Preventive maintenance of infectious diseases: we raise or increase immunity

Theme "Infectious diseases and their prevention"has been raised by specialists for a long time. Outbreaks of epidemics of infection, unfortunately, occur almost every year in the autumn-winter period, when the human body is exposed to hypothermia. Some people with weakened immunity, even if they are not supercooled, get infected from carriers of infection quite often. This happens to them because of the failure to take measures to improve the protective properties of the immune system.

What is an infection?

The prevention of infectious diseases depends in part on the nature of the infection from which we want to protect our body.

Infection is the defeat of a living organismmicroorganisms (bacteria, fungi and protozoa), viruses and prions. There are several of its types, which depend on the location of the bacteria, the pathogenicity of microorganisms, as well as the protective capacity of the organism:

local. Occurs when local tissue damage occurs with microbes. Most often it develops on the site of the entry of the microbe and is accompanied by a strong inflammation. This species is represented by angina, diphtheria;
common. It happens when microorganisms get into the blood. First the microbe enters the tissue, multiplies at the site of penetration, and then it enters the bloodstream, which causes widespread infection. This is typical for influenza, syphilis, tuberculosis;
latent. In this form of infectious infection, the microorganism multiplies in the body, initially without causing any symptoms. Examples are chronic gonorrhea and salmonellosis.

Prevention of infectious diseases by means of organism hardening

The essence of any prevention of infection is an increaseprotective properties of the body. For this, the immune system responds, which can weaken under the influence of stress, after taking antibiotics and a number of other factors. Initially, it is formed and strengthened when the baby is fed milk of the mother, with which he receives the necessary substances - the "building material" of the immune system.

However, if this system is weakened, it can bereestablish. It should start with hardening in the summer, to teach the body to respond adequately to hypothermia. For this, dousing with cold water is suitable for such a scheme:

Do the procedure the first month every 3 days, then with an interval of 2 days. In the cold season it is better not to conduct it.
The temperature of the water for the first time should be slightly warm and lower each time.

If you feel unwell that lastsmore than 2 days, stop performing the procedure. Despite the fact that it, in addition to increasing the immune barrier, tones blood vessels, improves skin elasticity and has a positive effect on the nervous system, it may not be suitable for all people, depending on their general state of the body.

Drug preventive measures for infectious diseases

With the help of medication or vaccination, you can increase the protective barrier of the body.

So, there are immunocorrectors: cycloferon, erbisol, immunostat, arbidol, which help the body fight infection. Their reception at the first stage of the development of the disease provides recovery the very next day.
