Avoid Colds and the Flu

12 easy strategies to help you stay healthy during the cold & flu season

Wash hands often
Hand washing will help wash away germs.

Eat Plenty of Veggies and Fruits
Fruits and vegetables help to build a strong immune system. This will help you to avoid getting sick altogether.

Stay away from sick people
Oftentimes, people ignore this strategy when it comes to their family. Family members can get you just as sick as strangers.

Exercise
Exercising is another great way to build your immune system.

Do not touch your eyes or nose
The eyes and nose are the most common places for germs to enter the body

Get as much sleep as possible
Your body repairs itself when you are sleeping; and when you are well rested. When you are sick, getting over 8 hours of sleep per night is recommended.

Get a flu shot
This will drastically reduce your chance of getting the flu during the flu season

Sex
Like other forms of exercise, (safe) sex on a regular basis can also boost your immune system.

Sneeze into the inside of your elbow
Sneezing into your hands can make it easy to spread germs quickly.

Use Hand Sanitizer and Alcohol Based Wipes
This will help to kill harmful germs on surfaces like telephones, door knobs and your hands.

Ladies- Do Not use cloth purses during flu and cold season
Because germs can thrive on cloth, you may want to use a purse made from a material that can be wiped and disinfected easily (leather, plastic, etc)

Keep your fingers out of your mouth
Putting your fingers into your mouth is the quickest way to ingest germs
