5 Ways To Fight the Flu in Michigan
With the flu season right around the corner it is time to start taking care of yourself
I always save a few vacation days, just in case illness hits me. Yet, what I don't do so often is take care of myself on a regular bases during flu season. I believe in getting the flu shot (if you don't that's cool), and I take vitamin C a few times a week, but that is about it. I really want to stay healthy this winter so I looked into things I could do on Kidshealth.com. Then, I added a few ideas of my own...do they work? Not sure, they do comfort one emotionally though.
- Get enough sleep
- Eating healthy foods (including five or more servings of fruits and veggies a day!)
- Eating Mom's homemade chicken noddle soup
- Getting regular exercise (and beer curls are not considered exercise)
- Drinking Vernors
Add a warm bath, a good book and a glass of wine...perfect!
