The time of year is here where the sniffling, sneezing, coughing, sore throat and fever creeps into our lives and we just want it to stay away, but how?
There are many preventative steps that we can take to steer clear of the flu. Here are 10 tips you can use to help keep the flu away this cold season!
1. Wash your hands frequently with liquid anti bacterial soap instead of bar soap. Bar soap can be a breeding ground for viruses and bacteria.
2. Do not share drinking glasses. Instead, use disposable drinking cups in the kitchen and bathroom. Dispose after 1 use.
3. Use disposable tissues when blowing your nose, Wash your hands thoroughly when you are done.
4. Colds and flu are often spread through hand to hand contact. Make an effort to keep your hands from touching your face and keep your fingers out of your mouth.
5. If you have young children, wash their toys frequently in warm soapy water.
6. Viruses can live on hand towels and sponges for many hours. Use disposable paper napkins and towels instead.
7. If you have to sneeze and there are no tissues available, sneeze into your shoulder and not your hands to avoid spreading germs.
8. Frequently clean surfaces such as counter tops, railings, door knobs to avoid spreading hand to hand viruses.
9. Germs remain in stagnant air. When weather permits, open the windows or door to circulate fresh air.
10. Avoid smoking at all costs. It is a respiratory irritant that increases susceptibility to viruses that cause cold and flu.
If you feel a cold/flu coming on, here are a couple of tip you can take try and stop in in it's tracks or prevent it from coming full swing.
1. Take 2000mg of vitamin C, one garlic tablet, one echinacea tablet. If you don't feel better after 30min, take another 1000mg of vitamin C and continue to do so until you feel better.
2. Drink lot's of water. Viruses breed well in warm/dry environments. Keeping your body irrigated will help you fight the fight.
3. Sleep Sleep Sleep
Best of health to you this fall season!
