Cold And Flu Season Hacks To Get You Through Winter

Sometimes it seems as if there are two seasons in life: construction in the summer and sickness in the winter.

Perhaps we can’t avoid every virus that threatens to assault our nose and nerves.

But, here are some ways to steer clear of a cold and some tips to try if you find yourself under the weather.

Wash your hands as often as possible. Use hot water and antibacterial soap.

Keep your hands away from your mouth and face. When you innocently touch something that has been infected, you will transport the virus into your body by mouth.

Boost your immune system. When your immune system is healthy and vigorous, you may be able to bypass some viruses. Studies show that people who eat fresh, vitamin-packed nutrients get sick less often.
