Daily routines to avoid colds and flu
The article discusses methods of preventing colds and the flu, emphasizing the importance of daily habits such as washing hands, covering the mouth when coughing or sneezing, improving indoor air quality, and reducing contact with infected individuals. It explains that washing hands with soap and water decreases the risk of respiratory infections by 17%, although its effectiveness against the flu is not definitively confirmed. The World Health Organization recommends covering the mouth and nose when coughing, avoiding touching the face, and wearing masks when necessary, especially in areas with high virus circulation. As for the flu, annual vaccination remains the best preventive measure, particularly for vulnerable groups such as children, the elderly, and pregnant women. The world experiences about one billion influenza cases annually, with estimated deaths ranging from 290,000 to 650,000 people. Combining these measures reduces the likelihood of infection transmission, although it does not guarantee complete protection, especially during seasonal and near-seasonal outbreaks.
