Lets prevent the FLU by following these guidelines!

Avoid sharing drinking and eating utensils.

Wash your hands - it really does help keep germs away.

Increase your vitamin C intake'which may boost your immune system'by eating ample amounts of fresh fruits and vegetables. Oranges, tomatoes and broccoli are good choices.

Drink at least eight glasses of water a day. Herbal teas and diluted fruit juices are good options for increasing your water intake.

Get enough sleep. Most people need at least 7 to 8 hours a night for optimal rest.

Manage your stress. Chronic stress can weaken the immune system.

Take a multivitamin every day to make sure you are getting enough vitamins and minerals.

Exercise regularly'it's been shown to reduce the occurrence of colds and flu.
