TRAVERSE CITY, Mich., – Flu season is in full swing and although the we have been having some unseasonably warm weather, it's still easy to find yourself feeling a little less than 100%. We've compiled our favorite
tips to stay healthy during flu season so you can stay on your feet this winter. Keep your home and workplace free of illness and germs and stay healthy, everyone around you will appreciate it!
1. Wash Your Hands
This might seem like a no-brainer, but washing your hands is the most important means of stopping the spread of germs. Think about how many surfaces you come in contact with during a typical day. Doorknobs, keyboards, mouses, pens and pencils, faucets - all are generally bacteria filled. Consider how many other people touch these same surfaces and you'll be running to the sink to soap up.
2. Disinfect Community Surfaces
Going back to number one, touching contaminated surfaces is a great way to end up sick. During a time when viruses and bacteria are swarming around us, it's important to clean community surfaces, like doorknobs, light switches, and faucets, regularly.
3. Eat Healthy
We can't control the habits of those around us but we can do our best to keep our own immune systems strong. Eating healthy and balanced meals that our bodies crave is a good way to ensure your own health. Give yourself the best chance at warding off illness by eating lots of fruits and vegetables!
4. Exercise Regularly
Exercise is also an immune system booster. Increasing your heart rate and getting a little sweaty are good ways to keep your immune system strong and healthy in the midst of flu season. Whatever your preferred method of exercise, your body will thank you later!
5. Drink Water
Another no-brainer, drinking water is one of the easiest ways to keep your body happy. Carry a bottle wherever you go and try to drink it regularly instead of just when you're thirsty. There are a lot of recommendations floating around about an exact amount of water intake for ideal health. The right amount for one person may be different than someone else. It's pretty hard to overload on water, so drinking it as often as you can will help you stay hydrated and healthy.
6. Stay Well Rested
Your body fights off illness while you're sleeping! If you're keeping yourself sleep deprived, you're not giving your body a chance to defeat all the germs you come in contact with regularly. Staying well rested during flu season will help ensure your health!
