With colder weather comes the potential to get sick. Cold and flu season is approaching, and it can keep you sidetracked for over a week. To keep yourself from getting sick, here are some preventative tips:

  • Wash your hands frequently, using soap, for at least 30 sec.
  • Avoid sharing anything edible
  • Disinfect frequently touched surfaces within the home (door knobs, counters, and light switches, etc.)
  • Use hand sanitizer when you’re unable to wash your hands
  • Take vitamins, especially A, C, and E
  • Get more sleep
  • Most importantly… Avoid people that are sick!
