To prevent wind-heat感冒 (common cold), you can increase your daily water intake, which helps promote blood circulation and metabolism, and prevents external pathogens from invading the body. Regular physical exercise, such as jogging or playing badminton, can also enhance immunity and reduce the risk of illness. Additionally, maintain a light diet and avoid spicy or irritating foods.
