8 councils for those who work at office: How not to ache before holidays

Colds, infections, viruses … One sneeze of the fellow worker can have for you unpleasant consequences. And on holidays to be ill it is the annoying! Remind yourself of easy ways of prevention of cold if you work at office.

1. Wash hands.

Of course, you know about it. But whether you do by a certain way? Here, as it is better to work in the period of colds: Moisten hands and wash with soap within at least 20 seconds. Surely wash not only brushes, but also wrists, and pay attention to finger-tips to remove the accumulated dirt under nails. Dry up hands, without touching public towels, it is better to use disposable paper. Also it is desirable not to concern the door handle in a toilet that the procedure made sense.


History in a subject.
All know, how important to approach athletes certain starts in an excellent form. And if we, enduring cold, only test easy indispositions which last several days, then for athletes the virus can break all season and nullify everything the last months of preparation. History which I want to tell "on fields" this article – about the famous Norwegian biathlonist Ullah Aynar Bjoerndalen. He chose for himself long ago the rules which help it to keep the physical shape in excellent condition. The athlete tries to shake hands never (if he has no gloves), often walks in a medical mask, and never lodges in the general hotels – he got to himself motto-home (mobile house), and goes on competitions only by it. In the mobile house carries out almost all sports collecting, in the car there is even a mini-shooting gallery. These strangenesses of Bjoerndalen offended journalists, trainers and other athletes more than once. But now the Norwegian proves that he chose the correct way of protection against infections for himself. By the way, it really all life was more subject to colds, than his peers. At the last World Cup stage in biathlon in Sweden (it passed at the beginning of December), the 42-year-old biathlonist collected three podiums, at it one gold and two silver medals at once. Having protected itself from infections and viruses, and being already aged for 40, Bjoerndalen could bypass more high-speed colleagues to whom for 22-25 years.



2. Clean the keyboard, a mouse, phone …

… and all surfaces which you concern at office. Researches prove what on the keyboard and on the smartphone can accumulate microbes not less, than in a toilet. Why to subject itself to such potential danger?

Buy packing of antibacterial napkins, they inexpensive and disposable. Also wipe everything on the desktop at least several times a week, and during a season of colds - it is better ezhedenevno.



3. You keep a stress under control.

The end of the year, end of quarter, end of month … So many problems collect at once, and at work, and houses. Everything-everything it is necessary to be in time before holidays.

And whether you know that the stress is a direct way to diseases? Levels of hormone of a stress of cortisol and adrenaline grow that considerably weakens immunity. From here and susceptibility to colds and viruses.

What to do? Not to give in to disorders and neurosises, to do respiratory gymnastics, to take relaxing baths, to give personally to itself at least several minutes a day. Also the healthy sleep will not prevent!


4. Drink a lot of water or tea.

Moistening is not only the fresh and tightened skin from within, hydration of internals helps to wash away kind of diseases and infections and is more effective them to resist. The water bottle on a table – the good assistant, but is better to make a choice towards warmer drinks. If to add a lemon and honey to hot tea, then couples of this drink will dilute slime in a nasopharynx.



5. Lay champagne and desserts until the New Year's table.

First, you will be able to lose weight slightly. And secondly, the refined sugar and alcohol interfere with ability of white blood cages to kill bacteria.


6. Take the sick-list and advise to do it to the colleagues.

If you after all did not manage to expose an infection barrier, and you were unwell – do not strain to be in action to career fulfillments, and take a break. So recovery will occur quicker, and the disease will not return. Colleagues from your office will only be grateful to you even if they should work slightly for you. Your microbes will stay at home together with you. Do not forget also that now there are a lot of opportunities to work from the house, and offer the chief such, healthier alternative of employment during a disease.



7. Be in the fresh air.

Solitary life will not save from diseases. Certainly, it is better to walk not in shopping centers or on city streets – there we are waited only by infections. Walk more in parks or squares – such approach will help to strengthen an organism.


Be not ill! Especially on holidays!
