It\u2019s that time of year when coughs, colds and seasonal flu seem to spread easily. <\/span><\/span><\/em><\/span><\/div>\n
Follow these simple tips to avoid spreading illness this winter.<\/span><\/span><\/em><\/span> <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

\n<\/span><\/div>\n
Wash your hands frequently<\/span><\/span><\/strong> using warm\u00a0water and soap, scrubbing all surfaces\u00a0for about 15-20 seconds. Some flu\u00a0viruses can live up to two hours on\u00a0surfaces such as desks, phones and door\u00a0knobs. When soap and water are not\u00a0available, hand sanitizers containing 60-\u00a090% ethyl alcohol or isopropanol may be <\/span><\/span>used.<\/span><\/span><\/span> <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

\n<\/span><\/div>\n
Avoid touching your face,<\/span><\/span><\/strong> unless you\u00a0have clean hands. The eyes, nose and <\/span><\/span>mouth are entry ports for flu viruses.<\/span><\/span><\/span> <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

\n<\/span><\/div>\n
Cover your mouth <\/span><\/span><\/strong>with a disposable\u00a0tissue when coughing and sneezing.\u00a0Dispose of tissues and wash your hands <\/span><\/span>immediately.<\/span><\/span><\/span> <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

\n<\/span><\/div>\n
Avoid sharing objects <\/span><\/span><\/strong>(cups, utensils,\u00a0etc.). Wipe down shared equipment such as <\/span><\/span>phones and keyboards.<\/span><\/span><\/span> <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

\n<\/span><\/div>\n
Get enough sleep and manage your <\/span><\/span>stress.<\/span><\/span><\/strong> Lack of sleep and high levels of\u00a0stress can reduce immune functioning, thus\u00a0lowering the body\u2019s ability to fend off colds <\/span><\/span>and flu.<\/span><\/span><\/span> <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n

\n<\/span><\/div>\n
Drink more water. <\/span><\/span><\/strong>You may not feel as thirsty during fall and winter, but it\u2019s <\/span><\/span>important to make sure you don\u2019t get dehydrated. Consume at least 8 glasses a day.<\/span><\/span><\/span> <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

\n<\/span><\/div>\n
Maintain a moderate exercise program<\/span><\/span><\/strong> 3-4 days a week. It will strengthen the <\/span><\/span>immune system and increase the body\u2019s natural ability to fight infection.<\/span><\/span><\/span> <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

\n<\/span><\/div>\n
Eat healthfully.<\/span><\/span><\/strong> Remember to eat the recommended 5-9 servings per day of fruits <\/span><\/span>and vegetables.<\/span><\/span><\/span> <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

\n<\/span><\/div>\n
Limit alcohol intake.<\/span><\/span><\/strong> Alcohol can be dehydrating which, in turn, may decrease your <\/span><\/span>resistance.<\/span><\/span><\/span> <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

\n<\/span><\/div>\n
Finally, listen to your body.<\/span><\/span><\/strong> Stay home if you have a fever and are coughing. You\u00a0will feel better, recover faster if you rest and reduce the risk of infecting others.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
