Staying Healthy During Cold and Flu Season

Cold and flu season seems to last a lot longer. Where I live allergies make their presence known in a big way about this time too so sometimes it is hard to know what exactly is the issue. I know when my son was younger, it was tough staying healthy. He was always bringing something home. I know you can relate to that!

Looking for tricks and tips to stay healthy during the season was important. Here are some of the things we made sure to do:

* Pump up the vitamins especially C and E
* Wash hands more often
* Wipe down grocery carts every time
* Wipe off doorknobs, counters, tables and every other surface sticky fingers touch
* Boost nutrition through fresh veggies, fruits, and healthier meals
* Stay active and get outdoors for activities
* Stay away from others that are ill
* Don’t share food and beverages with other people.

Honestly, things turned around for me the most when I start wiping down the grocery carts. I have gotten sick within several hours of coming home from shopping several times and it totally grossed me out. Now that i take the time to use a wipe, I have not been sick in a few years. YAY!

What tips and tricks do you use that help you stay healthy this time of year?
