The leaves are turning, and the days are getting shorter – the march toward winter has begun. And while this time of year brings a certain amount of joy and merriment with the coming of the holidays, one aspect of winter that’s not so joyous is the onset of cold and flu season.
Affecting up to a quarter of Americans every year, the flu brings nasty symptoms including fever, fatigue, body aches, and nausea, just to name a few. We’re entering prime cold and flu season now, so it’s a great time to be mindful of how to keep your immune system at peak functionality.
Your first line of defense is, of course, proper self-care – and on this front, there are plenty of ways to be proactive and keep the cold and flu at bay:
- Stop the spread of germs by practicing good general hygiene. Shower daily and be sure to wash your hands frequently, especially before eating or preparing food.
- Keep your body running like a finely tuned machine, by making sure to get adequate sleep, stay hydrated, and eat a balanced and nutritious diet.
- Stay active! Alongside its better-known benefits for your waistline, regular exercise also helps circulate white blood cells, your body’s front-line warriors in the battle against cold, flu, and other ailments.
- Get a flu shot!
