Not a single winter passes so that you do not fall off with a high temperature for several days? All this indicates your weak immune system and that it needs to be strengthened. The summer season is the most fertile time to nourish your body with vitality.

And hardening contributes to the strengthening of immunity in the best way
And there are a lot of ways to temper your body in the country.
First, breathe deeply! Air baths are one of the active mechanisms of hardening the body. It is with him that recommendations are associated with more often ventilating the room, being or walking in the fresh air. The hardening effect occurs due to the temperature difference between the air and the surface of your skin.
To enhance the hardening effect of air baths, you can use movement. Walk, run, ride your bike. The thermoregulatory mechanisms that are activated during movement help to harden the whole organism.
Second, be more in contact with water. Wipe off, douche, swim in the open water adjacent to your holiday village, or in your own pool. The hardening effect of water treatments is similar to air baths and arises from the temperature difference between the water and the surface of your skin. Swimming in water with a temperature of + 20-23 ° C is absolutely acceptable for an adult.
Third, walk barefoot: on the ground, in dew, in warm puddles after a summer rain. And it is also very useful to pave a path of beach pebbles and sand on your summer cottage. The material can be purchased at a construction supermarket or brought in a personal car from a vacation on the seaside. Walking barefoot on pebble and sand surfaces is an effective modern hardening method. The fact is that our foot is the strongest reflexogenic zone, and the pressure on it has a certain effect on the state of various organs and systems. First of all, such a pebble foot massage has a beneficial effect on the condition of the upper respiratory tract, especially the area of the nose.
Fourth, sunbathe. They have a good healing effect. It is better to sunbathe on a lounger with legs, and not, for example, on an inflatable mattress, blanket or other ground mat. The point is that the space between the surface of the ground and the lounger will provide air circulation during your stay in the sun. This will help reduce the risk of overheating. The most favorable hours for sunbathing are in the morning before 11.00 and / or after 15.00-16.00, when the sun is no longer as active as at the height of the day.
However, you should not be too zealous in the desire to strengthen your body so as not to harm it. So, do not forget about the main principles of hardening - a gradual increase in the intensity of the selected hardening effect and its systematic nature.
Also take into account that wind and air humidity are strong irritants that increase the cooling effect of the air and increase heat loss in the body, which can lead to various kinds of colds. Therefore, in wet or windy weather, be more careful about choosing a wardrobe for walking in the fresh air, listen to your feelings while driving, do not allow the body to overheat.
You should refrain from swimming in open water bodies with insufficiently heated water during the period of ARVI diseases or active stages of chronic respiratory diseases.
When sunbathing, lie down with your feet towards the sun so that your entire body is evenly lit. Do not forget to use sunscreen, glasses. Be sure to protect your head with a scarf, panama, or simply position yourself so that your head is in the shade (under an umbrella or in the shade of a tree crown). Start your sun exposure at 5 minutes and gradually build up your sun exposure to 30 minutes.
During your summer stay in the country, do not miss the opportunity to strengthen, temper your body. Adhering to the consistency in the procedures described above, adjusted for the characteristics of your body, you will easily achieve its resistance to sudden temperature fluctuations, chills and infections. And this will give you the opportunity to meet the autumn-winter period with joy and spend it without illness and in the ranks.
