신종플루로부터 건강을 지키려면~ > 중.고등교육 게시판

오늘 늦게 퇴근하고 오니 여기저기서 난리네요.

아이들 등교가 결정되었는지 문의하는 어르신들 전화~ ㅠ.ㅠ

우리집 근교에 있는 고등학교도 당분간 휴교령이 내리고 나니 저도 걱정이...

내일 개학을 하는데 사실 걱정이 됩니다.

그전까지 멀쩡하게 잘 지낼때는 남의 일 같더니 일주일전 열이 펄펄 끓는 모습을 보니 겁이 덜컥 나더라구요!

휴~ 그래도 다행히 기냥 감기...

이제는 일반 병원에서 검사비만도 10여만원이라니!! 웅.... 돈없으면 이거이거... ㅠ.ㅠ.

마침 아이는 밀린 방학 숙제중 걱정이 있다고 이제서야 털어놓네요.

3분 스피치 주제를 뭐로 해야할까~

영어 숙제인 모양입니다. 둘이서 머리를 맞대고 고민하다가 주제를 잡았습니다. How to prevent from cold and flu.혹은 How not to be sick.

아무튼 그 다음 단계로는 참고할 문헌 찾기..

아직 문장 만드는 것이 서툴고 엉성한 문장을 만들어 외우기까지 하는 것은 아니라고 생각이 들어서 함께 요것 조것을 뒤져보았습니다.

그래서 찾은 참고 문서들 중 저처럼 이런 주제를 찾으시는 분께 도움이 되시라고 옮겨봅니다.

서두를 요약하면,

감기 치료법은 없다고 하니 예방이 최고일 것이고 가장 편하게 생각하는 방법은 당근 예방접종이겠죠.

하지만 생활속에서 찾을 수 있는 민간예방법이 함께 병행되면 훨씬 바람직하리라 보는 글.

WebMD라는 사이트에 소개되어 있는 글을 옮기면서 내맘대로 해석해보았음다~~~

12 Natural Tips to Prevent a Cold (돈안들고 감기예방하는 방법 12가지)

There are no known cures for colds and flu, so cold and flu prevention should be your goal. A proactive approach to warding off colds and flu is apt to make your whole life healthier. The most effective way for preventing the flu is to get the flu shot. It may not be natural, but it works better than anything else. But there are other strategies you can employ as well. WebMD went to Charles B. Inlander, president of The People's Medical Society, for suggestions you may want to try:

#1 Wash Your Hands 손씻기

Most cold and flu viruses are spread by direct contact. Someone who has the flu sneezes onto their hand, and then touches the telephone, the keyboard, a kitchen glass. The germs can live for hours -- in some cases weeks -- only to be picked up by the next person who touches the same object. So wash your hands often. If no sink is available, rub your hands together very hard for a minute or so. That also helps break up most of the cold germs. Or rub an alcohol-based hand sanitizer onto your hands.

#2 Don't Cover Your Sneezes and Coughs With Your Hands 재체기시 티슈 사용하기

Because germs and viruses cling to your bare hands, muffling coughs and sneezes with your hands results in passing along your germs to others. When you feel a sneeze or cough coming, use a tissue, then throw it away immediately. If you don't have a tissue, turn your head away from people near you and cough into the air.

#3 Don't Touch Your Face 얼굴을 만지지 말기

Cold and flu viruses enter your body through the eyes, nose, or mouth. Touching their faces is the major way children catch colds, and a key way they pass colds on to their parents.

#4 Drink Plenty of Fluids 물 많이 마시기

Water flushes your system, washing out the poisons as it rehydrates you. A typical, healthy adult needs eight 8-ounce glasses of fluids each day. How can you tell if you're getting enough liquid? If the color of your urine runs close to clear, you're getting enough. If it's deep yellow, you need more fluids.

#5 Take a Sauna 찜질방 다녀오기?? (요건 또 뭐? 아이들 좋아하겠다~~ㅋㅋ)

Researchers aren't clear about the exact role saunas play in prevention, but one 1989 German study found that people who steamed twice a week got half as many colds as those who didn't. One theory: When you take a sauna you inhale air hotter than 80 degrees, a temperature too hot for cold and flu viruses to survive.

#6 Get Fresh Air 환기 잘 시키기

A regular dose of fresh air is important, especially in cold weather when central heating dries you out and makes your body more vulnerable to cold and flu viruses. Also, during cold weather more people stay indoors, which means more germs are circulating in crowded, dry rooms.

#7 Do Aerobic Exercise Regularly 규칙적으로 운동하기

Aerobic exercise speeds up the heart to pump larger quantities of blood; makes you breathe faster to help transfer oxygen from your lungs to your blood; and makes you sweat once your body heats up. These exercises help increase the body's natural virus-killing cells.

#8 Eat Foods Containing Phytochemicals 비타민이 풍부한 음식을 섭취하기(야채,과일)

"Phyto" means plants, and the natural chemicals in plants give the vitamins in food a supercharged boost. So put away the vitamin pill, and eat dark green, red, and yellow vegetables and fruits.

#9 Eat Yogurt 유산균이 풍부한 요구르트(혹 김치도?) 섭취하기

Some studies have shown that eating a daily cup of low-fat yogurt can reduce your susceptibility to colds by 25 percent. Researchers think the beneficial bacteria in yogurt may stimulate production of immune system substances that fight disease.

#10 Don't Smoke 금연!!

Statistics show that heavy smokers get more severe colds and more frequent ones.

Even being around smoke profoundly zaps the immune system. Smoke dries out your nasal passages and paralyzes cilia. These are the delicate hairs that line the mucous membranes in your nose and lungs, and with their wavy movements, sweep cold and flu viruses out of the nasal passages. Experts contend that one cigarette can paralyze cilia for as long as 30 to 40 minutes.

#11 Cut Alcohol Consumption 금주!!

Heavy alcohol use suppresses the immune system in a variety of ways. Heavier drinkers are more prone to initial infections as well as secondary complications. Alcohol also dehydrates the body -- it actually takes more fluids from your system than it puts in.

#12 Relax 푹~~ 쉬기!

If you can teach yourself to relax, you can activate your immune system on demand. There's evidence that when you put your relaxation skills into action, your interleukins -- leaders in the immune system response against cold and flu viruses -- increase in the bloodstream. Train yourself to picture an image you find pleasant or calming. Do this 30 minutes a day for several months. Keep in mind, relaxation is a learnable skill, but it is not doing nothing. People who try to relax, but are in fact bored, show no changes in blood chemicals
