Winter
is the season of colds and flu. Keeping healthy during this time of
the year is not an easy task. The tips below will greatly help you
dealing with the flu luring in your home.
Keep your place clean.
Living in a well cleaned area greatly reduces the chances of getting
a cold. The human organism is highly susceptible to illnesses,
because the immune system is lowered. Living in a clean and
disinfected place is a good starting point of your war against flu.
If you have just settled in a new house, you should really schedule
post-builders cleaning London services. You need to clean your floors
really often, because the traffic is high. As you can guess, being in
touch with other people significantly increases the chance of you
being infected by a virus. Chlorine bleach is really powerful
disinfectant. It can be used not only for cleaning your floors, but
your entire bathroom also. You can make a homemade disinfectant by
mixing 9 parts water and 1 part bleach in a spray bottle. Note that
bleach emits toxic fumes, so you need to be in a ventilated area.
Remember to gently mix the solution by converting the sides of the
spray bottle.
Eat
healthy. Your organism's immune systems lowers drastically during the
winter season. It needs vitamins and proteins more than usual. Fruits
and vegetables are perfect for delivering the right amount of
anti-flu substances. Citrus fruits contain vitamin C. Another
ingredients rich in vitamin C are peppers, potatoes and strawberries.
Drinking a cup of tea or a glass of orange juice is a great start of
the day. Actually, you need to consume more liquids. However, my
advise is to stay away from coffee and carbonated drinks, and drink
water and fresh fruit juices. Soups are also very helpful. Especially
the chicken soup. It is considered to be one of the healthiest soups,
because of it's clogged airways cleaning ability. Make sure you
include as much vegetables as you can. Garlic and onion are
compulsory.
Disinfect
the bathroom. Bathroom is one of the places which needs to be
disinfected regularly during the winter period. You need to have
your bath deep cleaned. It is compulsory to remove waste bins and
towels regularly. They are potential places where viruses can be
spread freely. A friend of mine, who works as a professional cleaner
at an after builders cleaning London company, suggests gently rubbing
the walls of the bathroom with vinegar. It is really helpful when
fighting flu. Allow the walls to dry on their own. Then the bath is
dry, you need to spray it with a disinfecting spray. The most
important places to be sprayed are the toilet seat, the sink, the
shower cabin, the bath tub, the drawers.
Flu
can be really dangerous. I hope you find the tips above helpful. Have
a healthy winter.
