Five Secrets to Never Getting
Sick
Coming down with another cold this time of year? Flu-like
symptoms? Achy? Feverish? A sniffle or cough? Here are five
study-backed secrets for staying well, even when you're surrounded
by germs.
- Get the flu vaccine. Plain and simple.
- Make friends with fresh air. Get a break from
all those germs circulating inside and take a stroll outdoors,
which also boosts your immunity.
- Relaxation fights off colds. Chill out. Being
stressed increases your susceptibility to catching a cold.
- Clean hands are everything. Cold and flu
spread through touch. Soap and water remain your most effective
tools (use the pumped kind and make sure to dry thoroughly).
- The magic bullet. Sleep. Go to bed (and
nothing short of seven hours).
