It's Flu Season

Winter can be a tough time for colds and flu. Here are some simple tips for lessening your risk of getting sick. 

  • get enough rest and stay home if you’re not feeling well
  • eat medicinal foods ( check out my Wellness and You post)
  • have simple remedies at home like elderberry syrup, apple cider vinegar and yellow onions
  • manage your stress - have you noticed you are more vulnerable when you are all stressed out?
  • have fun and filter out the negative noise - laughter is truly the best medicine
  • if you have to fly, check out my post for limiting exposure to bacteria.
  • avoid large crowds ( I love going to the movies in the winter, but I’m choosing theaters that have low attendance instead of the large multi-cinema showcases)
