TweetTen Tips to Avoid Colds and Flu


The cold and flu season has arrived and according to all accounts it's a rough one. Here are ten simple tips; ten healthy habits that will help you avoid colds and the flu.

1 Bar soap is a perfect breeding ground for viruses and bacteria. Wash your hands frequently with liquid antibacterial soap instead of bar soap.

2 Don't share drinking glasses. Instead, use disposable cups in the kitchen and bathroom, using each cup only once and then disposing.

3 Use disposable tissues when blowing your nose; use each tissue once, throw it away then wash your hands thouroughly.

4 Colds and flu are often spread by hand-to-hand contact. Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth after being exposed to viruses or bacteria.

5 Bacteria and viruses can live on hand towels and sponges for hours.


6 To kill bacteria and viruses, wash toys regularly in warm, soapy water.

7 If you have to sneeze and a tissue is unavailable, sneeze into your shoulder not your hands to avoid spreading germs.

8 Frequently clean surfaces such as stair rails, telephones, counter tops and door knobs to avoid hand-to-hand spread of viruses.

9 Germs remain in stagnant air; open windows when weather permits to circulate fresh air.

10 Avoid smoking at home. Smoking is a respiratory irritant that increases susceptibility to viruses that cause colds and the flu.
