Lidong is here—time to give your lungs a 'protective shield'.

As we step into the peak period of respiratory diseases this winter, we must give our lungs extra protection. Do not ignore the impact of increasingly severe air pollution, which makes the respiratory system vulnerable to various diseases.

Prevent colds, strengthen defensesThe change in seasons often brings a rise in colds, which, though generally mild, can weaken the immune system and make the body more susceptible to other pathogens. Maintaining warmth and good personal hygiene can help prevent colds.

Maintain humidity, avoid drynessIn winter, the air is dryer, especially indoors where heating systems are used. This can lead to dry mucous membranes, making them less effective at trapping viruses and bacteria. Using humidifiers can help maintain the optimal humidity level to protect the respiratory tract.

Regular ventilation, reduce pathogen accumulationFrequent ventilation of living and working spaces is important to reduce the concentration of indoor pathogens. This practice helps in diluting any airborne contaminants and reduces the risk of respiratory infections.

Balanced diet, enhance immunityA balanced diet rich in vitamins and minerals can enhance the body's immune system and resistance against diseases. It is crucial to consume a variety of nutrients to support overall health.

Timely vaccination, safeguard healthVaccinations are a vital tool in preventing influenza and other respiratory illnesses. They can reduce the severity of illnesses and provide a shield against the most dangerous effects of viruses.
