With changing weather, flu and colds can spread more easily. But the good news? There are simple, effective ways to stay protected. Here’s how you can guard against the flu blues and maintain your wellness:
Flu Prevention Tips:
Wash Your Hands Frequently
Hand hygiene is your first line of defense. Wash with soap and water for at least 20 seconds to eliminate germs that cause illness.
Cover Your Mouth & Nose
Always use a tissue or the inside of your elbow when coughing or sneezing to prevent the spread of germs to others.
Boost Your Immunity
Fuel your immune system with foods rich in vitamins C and D, stay hydrated, get enough sleep, and reduce stress whenever possible.
Consider a Flu Vaccine
A flu shot can help reduce your risk of getting sick or experiencing severe symptoms. It’s especially important for children, the elderly, and those with chronic health conditions.
Why It Matters
Flu symptoms can range from mild fatigue to severe complications, especially in vulnerable individuals. Practicing prevention not only protects you, but also helps safeguard your family and community.
Stay informed, stay proactive, and prioritize your health — because your well-being is our mission.
