I recently was in bed for two straight days due to the flu and it was an experience that I hope I never have to repeat. Everyone has a very busy schedule and it is tough to just stay home when flu season comes around. Here are six simple ways to cut down on your chances of catching anything.

1. Keep your distance and avoid contact with people that are sick

2. Cover your mouth when you cough or sneeze. If you can’t do that turn away from other people and aim your face to the ground, and use a tissue whenever possible.

3. Wash your hands often to protect you from germs.

4. Avoid toughing your nose, mouth, and eyes.

5. To keep your immune system healthy get plenty of sleep, eat fresh fruit and vegetables, exercise regularly, drink 8 glasses of water a day, and do your best to keep stress levels as low as possible.

6. If your sick stay home and rest. You will not only get better faster but you will not spread the disease as much.

Good luck with the rest of the season, here is a link that I found from CNN that has a lot of information on it.
