"Don't Let a Common Cold Be Your Demise: Tips for Avoiding Fatal Infections" by Global Self-Healthcare Education(GSHER)


We are constantly exposed to various types of infections as humans. From the common cold to more serious infections like pneumonia or sepsis, these illnesses can be fatal if not treated properly. There are, however, ways to prevent and avoid contracting these common infections. Here are some pointers on how to avoid dying from a common infection.

  • Wash your hands

One of the easiest and most effective ways to stop the spread of infections is to wash your hands often. This simple act can help remove germs and bacteria from your hands, which can lead to infections. Wash your hands before and after eating, use the restroom, and do not come into contact with someone who is sick.

  • Get Vaccinated

Vaccines are an important tool in the fight against the spread of infectious diseases. They function by stimulating the immune system to produce antibodies that fight specific infections. Maintain your vaccination schedule and get vaccinated against any new or emerging infectious diseases.

  • Practice good hygiene.

In addition to hand washing, good hygiene can help prevent the spread of infections. This includes covering your mouth and nose when coughing or sneezing, avoiding touching your face, and cleaning frequently touched surfaces.

  • Stay home when sick.

To prevent the spread of infection, stay at home and avoid contact with others if you are feeling ill. This can help keep the illness from spreading to others who may be more susceptible to infection.

  • Seek medical attention.

If you suspect that you have an infection, it is important to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If the infection is found and treated quickly, it can be stopped from getting worse and possibly killing the person. 

 

A strong immune system is essential to fighting off common infections and staying healthy. Here are some tips on how to boost your immune system and increase your chances of surviving common infections: Strategies for Staying Healthy and Safe"

  1. Eat a healthy diet: Eating a healthy diet is essential for maintaining a strong immune system. Make sure to eat plenty of fruits and vegetables, lean proteins, and whole grains. These foods are rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants that can help boost your immune system and keep you healthy.
  2. Stay Hydrated: Drinking plenty of water is essential for maintaining a healthy immune system. Water helps flush out toxins and waste products from the body, which can help prevent infections. Make sure to drink at least 8–10 glasses of water per day, and avoid sugary drinks and alcohol.
  3. Get Enough Sleep: Getting enough sleep is essential for a healthy immune system. Lack of sleep can weaken your immune system, making you more vulnerable to infections. Make sure to get 7-8 hours of sleep per night, and establish a regular sleep schedule.
  4. Exercise: Regularly Exercise is essential for maintaining a strong immune system. Regular exercise can help boost the production of white blood cells, which are essential for fighting off infections. Aim for at least 30 minutes of moderate daily exercise, such as brisk walking, jogging, or cycling.
  5. Manage stress: Chronic stress can weaken your immune system, making you more vulnerable to infections. Make sure to manage your stress levels through relaxation techniques such as deep breathing, meditation, or yoga.
  6. Take Supplements: Certain supplements can help boost your immune system and prevent infections. These include vitamin C, vitamin D, zinc, and probiotics. However, it is important to consult with your healthcare provider before taking any supplements, as they may interact with other medications or health conditions.
