AVOID THE FLU –
According to FamilyDoctor.org: “The best way to avoid getting the flu is to get
the influenza vaccine. You should get the vaccine when it becomes available each
fall (in October or November), but you can also get it any time throughout the
flu season (into December, January and beyond). You can also reduce your risk
of catching the flu by washing your hands frequently, which stops the spread of
germs. Eating healthy, exercising and getting enough sleep also play a part in
preventing the flu because they help boost your immune system.”
