How to avoid getting sick

If you’re still trying to tough out cold and flu season without becoming a victim (or looking for tips on not getting sick again), follow these guidelines:

• Start with a strong offense – always get your flu shot. (Yes, every single year.)  
• Be diligent about washing your hands throughout the day.  
• Don’t touch your face! Keep your hands out of your eyes, ears, nose and mouth.
• Always carry hand sanitizer with you. (Place it around your home or office for convenience.)  
• Focus on good nutrition to help boost your immunity.
• Exercise regularly.
• Get enough sleep.
• Drink plenty of water.
• Try a humidifier.
• Stay home when you’re sick or keep your kids at home if they’re sick.
• Practice stress management.
• Know when to see a doctor.

Also be sure to tread carefully when it comes to guzzling down vitamin C drinks and pills.
