Follow these steps to prevent pneumonia.
Vaccination
Although the long list of bacteria and inhaled irritants can cause pneumonia vaccination reduces the risk of two offenders leader.
Seasonal flu. The flu virus can be a direct cause of viral pneumonia. Bacterial pneumonia is a common complication of influenza. A vaccine against the flu each year provides significant protection anyway.
Vaccine against pneumonia. Doctors recommend a single vaccine against the bacteria Streptococcus pneumoniae (pneumococcus) for all over 65 and for people of all ages living in nursing homes and care facilities, long-term. In addition, the vaccine is recommended for all high risk for pneumonia caused by pneumococcus. The high-risk categories are smokers, anyone with heart disease, lung disease or other chronic diseases, and all immunocompromised due to HIV or prolonged treatment with immunosuppressive drugs such as corticosteroids or drugs to prevent rejection.
Childhood vaccines. Children should receive the vaccine for seasonal flu each year. Doctors also recommend a pneumonia vaccine - pneumococcal conjugate vaccine, in contrast with the pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine, which is intended for adults - for all children under 2 years of age and children aged 2-5 years who are at particular risk of pneumococcal disease, including those with compromised immune responses, cancer, cardiovascular disease or sickle cell anemia. Children participating in the group day care should always be vaccinated.
Take care of yourself
Normal respiratory infections sometimes lead to pneumonia, so you can avoid all types of bacteria. Here are the basics:
Wash your hands. Your hands are in almost constant contact with germs that can cause pneumonia. These bacteria enter your body when you touch your eyes or rubbing inside the nose. Wash your hands often and thoroughly, can reduce the risk. When the washing is not possible, use alcohol-based hand sanitizer.
No smoking. Smoking damages your lungs' natural defenses against respiratory infections.
Stay relaxed and fit. Rest and moderate exercise can help keep your immune system stronger.
Eating a healthy diet. High-fat diet without dairy products, fruits, vegetables and whole grains.
Lead by example. Stay home when sick. When you're out in public with a cold, catch your cough or sneeze into the crook of his elbow inside.
