It's Cold And Flu Season
Along with the holidays, also comes cold & flu season. There are 4 basic ways to help prevent catching and spreading these illnesses:
- Get your annual flu shot
- Make sure you wash your hands frequently and avoid touching your eyes and mouth
- Cover your mouth when you cough or sneeze
- Stay home and away from others when you are sick
Following these four basic steps can go a long way in helping prevent spreading (and catching) a cold or flu. Outside of that, there is much debate about whether or not you can boost your immune system, what will help, does being cold make your more likely to get sick, etc. Harvard Health Publications has recently put out a very informative article that tackles all these topics.
