The Flu Influenza Preventative Measures

How do we get it ?

We could blame the kids

Dirty phones could be the cause…

Or we can just get mad about it….

And Sometimes… … we are forced into situations with people who may have a cold or virus.

Why not start a new trend and stay home…..

Maybe we could post signs on the sickies at work…

If you wake up coughing, stay in bed.

Smoking increases your chance of a cold…

Are you sick……?

What we need to know is how do we prevent getting into this mess

Prevention Exercise… Do workouts on a regular basis, keeping in mind that ‘once in a while’ is not enough.

Prevention Eat healthy foods – Eat Chicken Soup. –Don’t wait until you get sick to indulge Eat plenty of fruits and vegetables. –Those who eat balanced meals are the very ones who protect themselves from colds and viruses.

Prevention Keep hands clean at all times. Wash your hands as many times during the day as possible. …. Always wash your hands with soap. If there is no soap, wash hands in hot water, and dry them well.

Prevention Keep a nasal decongestant on hand. If you begin to feel sniffles coming your way, take the decongestant, without waiting to see if the symptoms get worse.

Prevention Vitamin C. –Take Vitamin C combined with all of the above. –It will aid in protecting you from those wet sniffles. –Take one each day, and wash it down with orange juice.

Prevention Buy lots of medicines

Prevention Get Plenty of Rest and FluidsGet Plenty of Rest and Fluids –We are all aware that bed rest, drinking plenty of liquids, and taking Tylenol, enable us to recover from those nasty, energy-zapping and runny nose viruses.

Prevention Keep objects clean, especially your telephone. Any object that you come into contact with has germs left on it.

Have you ever been caught in a sneeze ???

Prevention Stay away from people who sneeze constantly. In fact, we are often times aware when a full-blown sneeze is in the making. Immediately, turn your head away from the sneezer

Prevention Keep your mouth shut… drool has germs too….Keep your mouth shut… drool has germs too….

Prevention Keep hands away from face. When coming into contact with a germ, it will not attack you unless you place it on your face with your hands. Dr. B.A. Jinadu suggests that you, “Don’t pick your nose “

Stay healthy
