Senior Research Fellow Department of ENT Diseases, Russian State Medical University Ph.D. Alexander Gusev:

- There are a number of means of prevention, but unfortunately, none of them does not guarantee 100% that you will not pick up SARS or influenza. Please tell about the most simple - is elimination therapy, ie the use of saline solutions and sprays (many of them are sold in pharmacies, you can choose at any age and wallet). They will help to literally wash viruses and bacteria from the nasal mucosa and throat. If you were in crowds, or have talked to human influenza, the nasopharynx lavage in the first three hours will help prevent infection.

The good old oksolinka actually not very effective. It is better to use means on the basis of interferon (drops Grippferon, leykinferonovuyu ointment, ointment viferon), and interferon inducers, i.e. drugs which improve its production in the body.

But the immune system of each person is different, and there is no universal protection. Our task - not to drive the body in stress mode, get enough sleep, at least an hour a day to walk in the fresh air to the oxygen is well absorbed by cells, there is as little as possible canned foods and trans fats.

During the epidemic is generally better to stick to a Mediterranean diet (fish, white meat, vegetables, olive oil, etc.).
