Essential Habits to Strengthen Immunity
Balanced nutrition; consumption of foods rich in vitamin C and vitamin D
Regular and adequate sleep
Regular physical activity
Plenty of water consumption
Stress management
Measures to Reduce the Risk of Contagion
Frequent and proper handwashing
Mask usage in crowded and enclosed environments (especially for high-risk groups)
Covering the mouth during coughing and sneezing, sneezing into the elbow
Regular cleaning and ventilation of shared surfaces
The Role of Vaccination
The seasonal flu vaccine provides important protection in reducing the risk of severe illness, especially for children, the elderly, and individuals with chronic conditions. You can consult your physician to get information about your vaccination schedule.
When Should You Consult a Doctor?
In case of high fever, shortness of breath, chest pain, or symptoms lasting longer than a few days, it is important to apply to a healthcare institution without losing time.
