Enhance resistance: adhere to physical exercise, enhance physical fitness, improve the body’s ability to adapt to adverse conditions, such as morning runs, cold baths or cold water washing, etc., to improve the body’s tolerance of cold, and actively treat upper respiratory tract diseases and other chronic diseases of the body.
