It’s that time of the year. Everyone around you is sneezing, coughing and blowing their nose. We’ve all been there but we don’t want to go back. Try some of these hacks and maybe you will survive this year’s cold and flu season.
1. Get the flu vaccination. Although it doesn’t work for everyone, it is worth the chances of not getting it.
2. Avoid touching your face. It just causes germs on your hands to get to your eyes, nose and mouth. Those are all the places you don’t want them to be.
3. Wash your hands. The proper way to wash your hands: Use soap and warm water to lather your hands for 20 seconds.
4. Eat healthy. Fruits and vegetables provide vitamins that help your immune system.
5. Sleep! Not having enough sleep only weakens your immune system.
6. Try to limit your time and space with sick people. The more time you spend with them, the more germs you are exposed to. Just be nice about it!
7. If you are sick, please see a doctor. This is not only for your health but for those around you.
