There are also pocket sanitizers in the market so you have options to choose from.

Keep your hands off of your mouth, nose, eyes, and face. These areas are entry points for viruses. Additionally if you have any wounds or cuts they can also be a way for infections to spread.

2. Strengthen Your Immune System;

Maintaining a diet is crucial as it provides nutrients for our bodies. Include plenty of fruits, vegetables, whole grains and lean proteins in your diet for nutrition.

Stay hydrated by drinking an amount of water throughout the day. The general recommendation is around 8 glasses, per day; however this may vary depending on your level of activity and the weather conditions.

Make sure to incorporate exercise, into your routine as it can strengthen your system and alleviate stress. When you exercise it aids in digestion and muscle development. So when you consume protein foods, multivitamins and minerals while exercising these nutrients facilitate the creation of a body. However if you consume everything but sleep it can lead to issues rather than promoting a healthy body. Therefore exercise plays a role.

3. Think about Temperature:

Additionally, it's important to consider temperature changes. As mentioned earlier sudden shifts from hot to cold can have an impact. If you use heating or air conditioning systems avoid temperature adjustments.

4. Use Of Mask:

Lastly wearing masks is essential, for preventing air from entering through our mouth or nose. Masks act as a barrier. Help us monitor oxygen levels before they enter our bodies.
