Avoids Getting Sick : Here’s what I do to keep from getting sick

Wash my hands 

• I know you’ve heard it before, but it works.
• If you are vigilant about washing your hands for the proper amount of time (think singing ”Happy Birthday” twice)
• Before you eat, after you use the bathroom, and even before touching your eyes or lips, you will prevent the majority of colds/coughs and viral infections.
• Another way to Avoids Getting Sick is:

Eat a healthy and colorful diet

• Fruits and vegetables have a number of vitamins and minerals
•  That work with the immune system to help fight off of infections

Get enough sleep

• Research has shown that chronic sleep loss can impact the immune system.

• The average adult needs 7 to 9 hours of sleep a night.

Clean surfaces

• I wipe off my phone and my keyboard, and clean my hands after touching doorknobs.
•  Some viruses can only live on surfaces for seconds while others last for days.
• And remember, handshakes can often transmit viruses, so don’t forget about tip

Try to keep stress in check

• Stress has impact on health and can affect your immune system.
• Taking time to relax and recharge can help

If you have kids, teach them the same tips. Children, especially young ones, often bring home infections.

So if you do get sick, make sure to rest and drink plenty of fluids to get better faster.

Using the above tips, hopefully you can evade the next nasty bug going around.
