E hoʻomaka i ka hoʻāhu ʻana i nā pūnaewele i ke kau anuanu a me ka maʻi flu ke kokoke kokoke mai nei. ʻO ia ka mea e pili ana i lilo i kumu hana maʻamau me kekahi mau hana o ke kino e like me ka mucus (Psst ... Ke kula iā ʻoe iho i kēia mau ala maʻalahi ʻelima e noho anuanu-a me ka manu ʻole.)

Manaʻo paha ʻoe i ka snot ma ke ʻano he hōʻailona hōʻailona no kahi pule e halihali ʻia i kahi moe ma mua, akā ʻo ka mucus kekahi o nā koa unsung o kou olakino, e like me ka hōʻike ʻia ma kahi wikiō hou ʻo TED-Ed.ʻO Katharina Ribbeck, Ph.D., ke kaukaʻi o ka biology ma Massachusetts Institute of Technology, ua haʻi ʻoi aku ma mua o kou makemake e ʻike e pili ana i kou ihu kahe, ʻo ia hoʻi ʻo ka mea paheʻe he ʻoi aku ka nui ma mua o ka hopena ʻaoʻao. He barometer kōkua nui ia inā ʻoe e nānā i loko me kāu kauka, wehewehe ʻo Purvi Parikh, MD, mea aleremia a me nā immunologist me ka Allergy & Asthma Network ma New York.

No ka mea e ʻaneʻane ʻoe e hoʻopili me kou mau momona ma mua o nā manawa ʻē aʻe o ka makahiki, e hoʻomaʻamaʻa iā ʻoe iho me nā ʻike ʻehā e pili ana i ka mea i loko o kēlā kiko.

1. Hoʻopuka kou kino ma mua o hoʻokahi lita o ka mucus i ka lā, Hōʻike ka haʻi'ōlelo a Ribbeck. A ke kamaʻilio nei mākou ke ʻoe ʻaʻole maʻi a hana i nā mea paheʻe ma overdrive. No ke aha ʻoe e makemake nui ai? Kōkua ka mucus i ka lubricate i nā mea āpau ʻole i uhi ʻia i ka ʻili, no laila kōkua ia i ka maka o kou maka, mālama i ka waha me ka hydrated o kou ʻōpū i nā waikawa.

2. ʻO iamālama iā ʻoe mai ka maʻi 24/7. ʻO kekahi o nā hana nui a ka mucus e hoʻomaʻemaʻe mau i ka bacteria a me ka lepo mai kāu kahawai hanu e like me ke kāʻei conveyy, e like me ka hōʻike a ke wikiō. Hana ʻia pēlā i ʻole e kau lōʻihi ka bacteria e hāʻawi iā ʻoe i kahi maʻi. Hoʻohui, ʻo nā mole nui i kapa ʻia ʻo nā mucins-kōkua i ka pale ʻana i nā pathogens a me nā mea komo hewa ʻē aʻe, ʻo ia ke kumu o ka pale mua o kou kino i nā bacteria e hana i nā mea (a hoʻolilo i kou ihu i faucet).

3. ʻO iahiki iā ʻoe ke haʻi iā ʻoe ua maʻi ʻoe ma mua o kou hoʻomaopopo ʻana iā ia. "ʻO ka hoʻonui ʻana i ka leo, hoʻololi i ka waihoʻoluʻu, a ʻoi aku ka mānoanoa o nā hōʻailona āpau i loaʻa iā ʻoe kahi maʻi a i ʻole kekahi mau loli i kou olakino," wahi a Parikh. He keʻokeʻo a melemele paha ka mea maʻamau, akā hiki i ka ʻōmaʻomaʻo a ʻeleʻele paha ke kuhikuhi i kahi maʻi. (Aleady manaʻo maʻi? Eia pehea e pakele ai i kahi anuanu i 24 mau hola.)

4.ʻAʻole hōʻailona ka ʻōmaʻomaʻo i kahi anu o ke anuanu. Ke loaʻa ʻoe i kahi maʻi, hana i kou kino i nā hunaola keokeo, i loaʻa i loko o kahi enzyme ke kumu e lilo ai kāu snot i ʻeleʻele, e hōʻike ana i ka haʻi ʻōlelo a Ribbeck. Eia nō naʻe, hiki i nā kumu ʻē aʻe (e like me nā maʻi āpau) ke hoʻohālikelike i kahi virus a hana i ka loli i ke kala, wahi a Parikh. Pehea e hiki ai iā ʻoe ke haʻi ke iho mai ʻoe me kahi anuanu? "ʻO ka maʻamau me nā maʻi ʻino, ʻoi aku ka wikiwiki o ka hoʻomaka a hele aku i loko o nā lā, ʻoiai me nā maʻi āpau a me ka hānō hiki ke ʻoi aku ka lōʻihi," wehewehe ʻo ia. A he kōkua nā ʻōuli e pili pū ana: Inā he kuni kou, batukū, ihu, a me nā poʻo hina pū kekahi, e ʻike pono i kāu kauka e ʻike inā he mea ʻoi aku ka weliweli ma mua o nā maʻi āpau.
