Well, it’s that time again – time for colds, the flu, and all kinds of other germy things floating around to make us sick. By this time, we should all know basic things to help prevent us from feeling down right crummy, but reminders can help. So, here are some of the top tips on staying healthy this season.
1. WASH YOUR HANDS (watch the video – it says it all) – soap and water is best but if not available, hand sanitizers are better than nothin’
2. USE ARM SNEEZING TECHNIQUE – sneeze into your arm or tissue, not your hands (unless you are going to immediately scrub them without touching anything!)
3. COMMIT ACTS OF HEALTHFULNESS – eat healthy (foods rich in vitamins and anti-oxidants), exercise (unless you feel sick, then you should probably rest), limit alcohol, drink
some green tea
4. GET ENOUGH SHUT-EYE – your body needs this to restore itself
5. AVOID SICK PEOPLE – OK, some of these might be your friends and family but at least make sure they are practicing safe germ warfare and clean areas around you. By all means,
if you are sick, they say you should STAY HOME (don’t take that as license for a day off though).
Pass these tips around……………..it’s OK if they are contagious!
In Good Health,
Christine
