Cold and flu season is here folks!
Although there is no guaranteed way to prevent catching a cold or the flu, there are 5 simple steps you can take to reduce your chances of getting sick.
Wash Your Hands
Hand washing is key. Wash your hands before eating, after using the bathroom, and after touching your nose or mouth. Hand sanitizer is great but it should not be used as an alternative to proper hand washing. Use soap and warm water every time you wash. Make sure you scrub between fingers and under the nails. Dry thoroughly and use your paper towel to open the bathroom door if at a public restroom. Menu's are filthy - washing after handing it back to your waiter is the best time.
Drink Water
Stay hydrated. Flush out waste and toxins effeciently to keep your immune system running at optimum level.
Get Some Rest
The body repairs itself while you sleep. Try to get eight to ten hours of sleep every night, especially during cold and flu season. The less sleep you get the less fighting power you have against germs.
Eat Healthy Foods
Eating 5-8 servings of fruits and vegetables daily can provide enough nutrients to help your body fight illness.
Stock Up On Remedies
Wether they be over the counter or natural, keep a fresh supply onhand for your family. No one likes going to the drugstore sick, especially kids! The Sunday paper contains coupons with a lot of BOGO items from local pharmacies. Think ahead while being frugal.
