Air Conditioning Dangers

With the onset of summer heat increases demand for air conditioners that save us from unbearable heat। People who spend all hot summer days indoors do especially count on air conditioners. However you should not forget that everything is not so simple. Air conditioner not only “ping-pongs” air and changes it from hot into chilly one, but also puts human body to a serious test because it is a kind of accumulator of various pathogenic bacteria.

In air conditioners get settled microbes including atypical germs. Are known cases of spreading of legionnaires disease (this is an infectious disease caused by bacteria called legionela which results in severe form of pneumonia) via conditioning system. Today specialists also talk about additional noise and vibration which do affect human vestibular system.

People with chronic diseases should be more careful with air conditioners. In people with such chronic diseases as sinusitis or chronic bronchitis, artificial chill and drop of temperature cause aggravation of chronic diseases. But in healthy people conditioner may cause mucous edema of chronic nature.

Fungi may be found in equipment when in the room is not performed qualitative cleaning. Animal dander and fluff from floor coating. If you have pets at home, their dander do obstruct conditioner. Conditioner in the kitchen accumulates fats.

Experts advice to clean conditioner regularly once a year in order to keep your family healthy. New conditioner must be cleaned for the first time in three years after starting its using. Then it must be cleaned once every year. Cleaning must be performed in winter.

However, it must be said that cleaning is not plaster for all sores. Specialists recommend to switch on “chillers” for 10 – 15 minutes before getting started - this reduces greatly concentration of bacteria in conditioner. You should not abuse chilling and should not use it without particular need. What is comfortable for you is not necessarily healthful. Such preventive measures as smearing nose with oxolinic ointment in this case do not work.

You should be very careful with your health in summer. If you and your co-workers frequently cough and feel bad then you should go to the doctor. Raised body temperature is a sign that in the respiratory organs occurs inflammation and you should pay serious attention at this sign. Temperature drops between street and office must be minumal.

For sure, when you cannot stand unbearable heat, you seek rooms with chill and forget about all precautionary measures. It is difficult to work with only thought about chilly place. Remember that here the talk is not just about stuffy nose, back pains, otitis, here also talk is about death.

How To Improve Your Immunity?

In autumn, winter and spring many of us complain on immunity lowering. We become more vulnerable to different diseases and we may catch any virus.


First of all, what is immunity?
Immunity is body resistance to everything heterogenes. Immune system protects body from penetration of dangerous for its life activity matters such as bacteria, viruses and fungi and other harmful micro organisms.

If infection enters human body, then infection starts to reproduce and human condition breaks down. Do appear first symptoms: sneeze, cough, high body temperature. If a person has good immunity then comes breaking point and in the blood start to produce antibodies – matters that destroy infection in the body.

Humans have special cells called lymphocytes. They act as soldiers protecting their state, in other words, they along with antibodies destroy infection acting as aggressors.
There exists species immunity when cats and dogs do not get infected with human diseases and vise versa.

Natural acquired immunity appears after past disease. Artificial immunity appears after flu shot. Everybody know that some people get diseased frequently and some quite rarely. That's a shame. So what to do?

The answer is quite simple – it is necessary to improve your immunity. It is not so difficult as it seems at first sight, although it requires some efforts. Alcohol, smoking, stress, poor ecology, unhealthy food and water, great mental and physical stress do lower immunity.

For most of us it is much easier to take a modern pill than to come down the sofa. Today modern human moves less and less, because civilization brings him a number of things literally on the plate. That is why those who want to iimprove their immunity should increase their physical activity. It may be gymnastics, aerobics, swimming. outdoor games, working in the garden, walking.

Quenching and yoga help in immunity strengthening. Healthy foods (fruits, vegetables, cereals, coarse bread, legumes, vegetable oils, honey, lactate products) also help to increase immunity. Vitamins should always be presented in your diet. Make your habit to drink vitaminic mineral assemblage. It is healthful to take each morning a spoon with honey when your stomach is empty.

Green tea and mate positively work on the immunity. Stress usually is resulted from overfatigue that is why you should rest good. So, you will reduce chances to get infected. And in case you get infected, you will recover from disease much easily. It is better to improve immunity in late spring, summer and early autumn.

Bronchitis

An individual, who with the advent of cold has began to cough not even once, is a happy man! Other individuals should find out the cause of his cough which may be a symptom of many different diseases. Every second individual is diagnosed with bronchitis. Bronchitis can be acute or chronic, and depending on its type doctor prescribes a particular treatment. Although phrase “acute bronchitis” sounds quite horrible, in fact, doctors fight it quite successfully.

Bronchitis shows itself with cough, temperature, muscle pains, joint pains, headaches and common discomfort. In other words, a virus has settled in your bronchus and caused their inflammation.

If you are already ill, main treatment is to remove acute symptoms such as temperature, pains, etc. You should help your body to fight the disease. It is necessary to stay in the bed for a week, gargle, drink hot drinks and take Vitamin C. It would be good to make inhalations with alcalinous mineral waters that may help wet to get removed. You should forget about inhalations with potato peels and oily solutions as they may harm your body.

Workaholics should forget about their job. Going seek at the job may result in bronchopneumonitis which should be treated not at home but at the hospital. If “creative resources” did not brought cough relief and did not removed temperature in three days then you should call for a doctor. Probably, the disease has passed into a new stage and it needs a special treatment.

This often happens when acute bronchitis provokes manifestation of chronic one which is caused not just by viruses but also by bacterias. It is wrong to think that chronic bronchitis is untreated acute bronchitis. In fact, chronic bronchitis is an independent disease caused by cigarette smoke, exhaust, industrial wastes that we inhale. If you inhale those wastes every day then natural sputum discharge is lowered. The mechanism of bronchus self-purification is broken and as a result the infection is doesn't mat any resistance and so bronchus are damaged.

An individual may live and not know about developing disease. The treatment of chronic bronchitis is very long and recovery half-way depends on the discipline of the patient. Patient has to constantly take different medications such as expectorants, antiinflammatory drugs, immunomodulators, and in some cases is used bronchus sputum removal with special devise – this method is called therapeutic bronchoscopy.

When chronic bronchitis it is important to make remedial gymnastics, respiratory gymnastics, chest message. Do not think that if you have chronic bronchitis then mucosa disorders may be restored. For example, epithelium of smokers may be restored in 10 years. If the number of contagious recrudescence may be reduced annually, some medications may be called off. The disease itself will not disappear but several symptoms will be removed.
