Spring is nearly here, and I\u2019m sure you\u2019re doing your best to stay healthy and happy as the nicer weather approaches, right? Unfortunately, therein lies the problem. Staying healthy can be quite a chore during the cooler months, when everyone is huddled inside. Especially during the changing of the seasons, colds seem to creep up this time of year.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re like me, you\u2019re trying to avoid the coughing, sneezing, and sniffling that seem to follow you wherever you go. It\u2019s hard work, but worth it in the end. Luckily, there are a few tried and true things you can do to avoid the latest bug floating around. Follow these simple recommendations and you\u2019ll stay healthier than most!<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Wash your hands frequently.<\/strong> This is by far one of the best things you can do to prevent illness, but make sure you have plenty of moisturizer handy. Nobody wants to get sick, but having cracked, dry hands is no picnic itself.<\/li>\n
  2. Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth.<\/strong> This should go without saying, but most people have no idea how often they do it. It\u2019s an unconscious habit for many, and essentially lets viruses in the proverbial front door.<\/li>\n
  3. Drink plenty of fluids.<\/strong> Cold viruses thrive in dry conditions, so depriving yourself of fluids is not the way to go. Plus, dehydration can lead to headaches, fatigue, and other issues\u2014and who wants that?<\/li>\n
  4. Get plenty of sleep.<\/strong> Inadequate rest can depress your immune system, so be sure to get seven to nine hours each night. After all, who doesn\u2019t feel better when they\u2019re well rested?<\/li>\n
  5. Eat plenty of fruits and vegetables.<\/strong> These guys are loaded with vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and other phytochemicals that keep us healthy and vibrant. Try to vary it up as much as possible and aim for eight to ten servings per day.<\/li>\n
  6. Take a daily multivitamin\/ mineral supplement.<\/strong> Though it\u2019s recommended, most people simply don\u2019t eat a balanced and varied diet each day, and a supplement can help fill in the gaps.<\/li>\n
  7. Get a flu shot.<\/strong> Having a head cold is one thing, but having the flu is something entirely different. Why not protect yourself by getting a flu shot each and every year? I know some people are skeptical about its effectiveness, but the fact remains, most physicians recommend it to their patients.<\/li>\n
  8. Avoid sick people!<\/strong> This is arguably the most effective way to avoid illness, though it can be a challenge, especially if you have kids. Just try to avoid close contact with sick family members and friends\u2014you\u2019ll be glad you did!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
