7 Ways to Avoid the Flu
5. Cut down on the drinking and smoking
Smoking affects the cilia, the fine hair that protects your nose from dust, bacteria and viruses. Drinking too lowers your immunity making you more prone to flu. Drinking also makes the symptoms like cold and cough worse.
6. Work out
An active life outdoors and a healthy exercise regimen along with the proper diet will always keep you healthy and prevent flu. If you go to the gym to work out, wipe the instruments that you use before you touch them and take a shower once you are done.
7. Carry tissues
It helps you close your nose when someone else sneezes in close proximity. Also you can give them those tissues if they do not have some to prevent the spread of infections.
Instead of feeling sick and miserable for days, follow a healthy lifestyle and take a few precautions to stay fit and healthy during the flu season.
