To the ski resort - without the flu!

Every year, with the first snow, a large number of outdoor enthusiasts go to ski resorts. But before you buy tickets and pack your things, you should pay attention to some important points, including your health. At this time of year, the risk of getting the flu and other diseases is quite high, and this can ruin your entire holiday. So if you're heading to a ski resort, be sure to take steps to avoid the flu.

The first step to a safe and healthy ski vacation is choosing the right location. Travel companies distinguish three main categories of ski resorts. The first category includes Alpine countries such as Austria, France and Italy. They are the most prestigious, and, accordingly, the most expensive. But here you will find the best conditions for skiing and relaxation. The most popular resorts among Europeans are located in the Dolomites, where the most picturesque alpine slopes, excellent trails and thermal springs are located.

The second group is budget countries, such as Slovenia, Andorra, Sweden, Norway, etc. Andorra, for example, is one of the most popular ski resorts, despite the fact that there are no such long slopes as in Italy. However, the quality of the slopes and their maintenance, and the entertainment infrastructure not related to skiing (apres-ski), are also at a high level. It is considered to be home to one of the best ski schools in the world. Scandinavian countries such as Sweden and Norway are also popular in this price category. An undoubted advantage of these resorts is the guaranteed availability of snow cover due to their geographical location and climatic conditions. A more economical holiday option, in particular for beginners, in terms of price/quality ratio is offered by Russia, Poland, Bulgaria, Turkey and Slovakia.

In addition to choosing a resort, there are other measures you can take to protect yourself from the flu. First of all, you should remember the need to purchase special clothing and shoes that will allow you to feel comfortable on the frosty winter slopes. It is also important not to forget about flu medications, which will help prevent illness while traveling.

One of these drugs is "TERAFLUE EXTRA" - a symptomatic drug for the treatment of influenza and colds. This drug contains paracetamol, which has an analgesic and antipyretic effect, as well as phenylephrine, which constricts blood vessels and helps relieve a runny nose. The drug can be bought at a pharmacy without a doctor's prescription, but before use you must read the instructions and consult a specialist.

In addition, you should remember to eat properly and strengthen your immune system before traveling so that your body is ready to fight possible infections. It is recommended to eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, as well as take vitamin complexes and mineral supplements.

Overall, to avoid the flu and enjoy your ski holiday to the fullest, you need to prepare in advance, choose the right resort, purchase the necessary equipment and medications, and monitor your health during the trip.
