As the leaves begin to grow again and the wave of long lost sunny weather returns to Tiverton, so do the sniffles, coughs, and fevers that spare no one. While the allergy and flu seasons seem to be never ending, it is not inevitable to catch these germy pests. Taking the right precautions, and with a strong immune system, there are multiple strategies you can use to avoid getting sick.
Your Body is Your Vessel – Boosting Your Immune System
To combat these viruses, it’s important to focus on maintaining a healthy diet of rich fiber and nutrients. These nutrients build up your body to fight off nasty infections. You should also hydrate– preferably with 64 ounces of water a day– and maintain a healthy sleep schedule. All of these common wellness techniques aid the body in different ways and can help strengthen your white blood cells to fight off any germs.
Germ Control – Hygiene Habits to Keep Germs Away
The main techniques to prevent germs from spreading are effective hand washing, hand sanitizer, and staying home if you are feeling under the weather. In order to kill most bacteria on your hands, it is critical to use soap and water and wash your hands for at least 20 seconds, while the hand sanitizer can kill the lasting germs. If you are feeling unwell, it is important to stay home, rest, hydrate, and limit contact with others to prevent the diseases from spreading.
Stay healthy this flu season!
