Preventing a cold or flu
Cold and Flu are caused by viruses that spread from person to person. Try these simple steps to help keep you and your family healthier.
  • Exercise regularly, eat nutritious foods, and get enough sleep.
  • Wash your hands often, especially during the peak cold and flu seasons (late winter and early spring). You can pick up a cold from a handshake, the telephone, even money.
  • Avoid touching the moist areas of your eyes, nose and mouth.
  • Avoid sharing cups, glasses or utensils among family members, especially during peak cold and flu seasons.
