Tips To Stay Cold And Flu Free

With the cold weather finally here the cold and flu season is in full force. Many people are coming down with the flu, colds, and coughs. I wanted to share with you some tips to stay cold and flu free.

When you come home from shopping and in public places go straight to the bathroom or sink and wash your hands all they way up to your wrists. This will help you from bringing in germs that you have come in contact with while being out. You will be amazed at how dirty your hands are. You are stopping the germs right at the door. Make this a habit when you go out and come home. There are still many people who aren't washing their hands after they go to the bathroom. I think that is a shame since we are in the 21st century and have excess to plenty of water. That's just being nasty in my opinion. You can read about it here.


You might also want to wash your door knobs down at least a couple of times a year because they hold lots of germs.


Another tip is take a hot shower everyday. The water should be as hot as you can take it. You will know if the water is hot enough when the mirror is fogged up when you get out. This will be like you are in a sauna and you are steaming your whole body opening up your pores and helping you break down the mucus in your chest and head. This can be done before you get sick or while you are sick. It is a very good way to help you stay healthy and help you feel better if you are already sick.
