Skip Getting Sick in 3 Steps
What you can do to get safely through the cold and flu season.
By now you know that frequently washing your hands with good
old soap for 20 to 25 seconds is the first line of defense against germs that
lead to illness. Here, other ways to help you fight the good fight.
Step 1:
Regularly disinfect the kitchen sink, the trash can, the bathroom faucet, and
the tub. They’re some of the germiest places in a home, according to studies.
The champion of contamination? The kitchen sponge. Clean it in the dishwasher
weekly.
Step 2: Take a
brisk walk five times a week. Studies show that regular exercise can help
reduce your likelihood of catching a cold.
Step 3: Work probiotics (a.k.a. good bacteria) into your daily
diet to help your immune system ward off bad bacteria. Try yogurt, fortified
drinks, or a tasty treat like the 90-calorie Attune Milk Chocolate Crisp
Probiotic Bar.
