冬日終極生存攻略 和感冒咳嗽說再見（上）>>

Change seats on the bus
坐公交車時(shí)換座位

If someone close to you is coughing or sneezing, turn your head away for ten seconds while the air clears, and - if you're on a bus or train - change seats if you can.
如果你附近的人在咳嗽或者打噴嚏，把頭轉(zhuǎn)開10秒鐘等那里的空氣散去。如果你是在公交車或者火車上，條件允許的話就換個(gè)座位。

Stomp around to avoid falls
步子踩結(jié)實(shí)，防止摔跤

Ice and snow can be treacherous. For the elderly, a serious fracture could be fatal. Experts recommend wearing firm shoes with good grip and walking in a way that maximises the foot's gripping surface area - strike the ground with heels first, but try to stomp your whole foot down, rather than rocking from heel to toe.
冰天雪地會(huì)讓人很難受。對老年人來說，嚴(yán)重的骨折有可能是致命的。專家建議穿防滑效果好的鞋子，走路時(shí)走在表面摩擦最大的地方，先用鞋跟著地，然后整只腳踩上去，而不要只用腳跟和腳尖走路。

Wash your pillow case every week
枕頭套要每周都洗

Change your pillow case once a week to prevent germs festering - and daily if the person you share a bed with is under the weather. Use a 60c hot wash.
每周換一次枕頭套以防止細(xì)菌滋生。如果和你一起睡的人身體不舒服，那就要每天換一次。用60度的熱水洗。

Go to bed a little earlier
提早一點(diǎn)上床睡覺

It is well known that lack of sleep affects immunity; in fact, if you sleep for less than seven hours a night, you could be three times more likely to catch a cold than someone who gets eight hours.
眾所周知，睡眠不足會(huì)導(dǎo)致免疫力下降。如果你每晚的睡眠時(shí)間少于7個(gè)小時(shí)，你得感冒的幾率就會(huì)比睡8個(gè)小時(shí)的人高三倍。

Change your toothpaste
換牙膏

Teeth can be especially sensitive in winter months as icy air stimulates the nerves exposed by damaged enamel or receding gums. Doctors suggest different brands contain slightly different ingredient combinations which your body can get used to after a while - so it's a good idea to switch toothpaste brands once a year if you're prone to sensitivity.
牙齒在冬天會(huì)變的特別敏感，因?yàn)檠烙再|(zhì)和退縮齦受損后，冰冷的空氣會(huì)刺激暴露出來的神經(jīng)。醫(yī)生建議使用不同牌子的牙膏，成分稍有不同即可，這樣身體不久后就能適應(yīng)。如果你的牙齒比較敏感，每年換一次牙膏品牌是個(gè)好主意。

Check your?rash?with an ice cube
用冰塊檢查皮疹

Cold weather can trigger an outbreak of hives in some people. To find out if this is what's causing your rash, you can self-diagnose the condition by holding an ice cube to the skin for a few minutes (use one that's just staring to melt). The rash will appear in a square shape to mirror the ice cube. If it is cold-induced urticaria, taking an over-the-counter antihistamine before going outdoors into the cold may help.
寒冷的天氣會(huì)讓某些人長很多皮疹。想知道你的皮疹是不是天氣寒冷引發(fā)的，你可以自我診斷一下，在皮膚上放一塊剛開始融化的冰塊，保持幾分鐘。如果是的話，透過冰塊看到的皮疹會(huì)是正方形的。出門前使用非處方抗組胺劑可以改善癥狀。

...AND IF YOU DO GET ILL
…如果你真的病了

Eat chocolate for a cough
用巧克力緩解咳嗽

Many over-the-counter cough remedies are little more than sticky sugar syrup, which soothes a cough by coating the throat. But dark chocolate may perform the same function, coating the throat in theobromine - an active ingredient found in cocoa which can act as a cough suppressant.
許多非處方咳嗽藥也只是黏糊糊的糖漿而已，這種糖漿覆蓋在喉嚨上就可以緩解咳嗽。而黑巧克力也可以讓可可堿覆蓋在喉嚨上，發(fā)揮同樣的作用?？煽蓧A是可可中含有的活性成分，有抑制咳嗽的功效。

Rinse?your nose to combat colds
清洗鼻子對抗感冒

You might be able to protect against cold bugs by using a saline nasal spray to moisten the lining of your nose. Nasal irrigation led to a significant reduction in coughs and colds among children.
你可以在鼻腔粘膜上噴鹽溶液鼻噴霧來消滅感冒病毒。滋潤鼻腔可以明顯減少兒童咳嗽和患感冒的幾率。
