Build Your Immune System to Stay Healthy

Most of us would really not like to be sick during this holiday season, but how do we prevent it. The best way is to build your immune system up, because it is your line of defense against illness.

The easiest and best thing you can do for yourself to prevent getting sick with a cold or flu is to wash your hands. Hands spread cold and flu very quickly. If you area grandparent and you wonder why every time you get around your grandchildren you get sick think about it. You love these little ones and they love you, so they touch you on the face and bingo, you get the virus. The little one is likely not very sick, but you can get a nasty cold or flu. I'm not saying to not love your grandchildren, but teach them to wash their hands as well as you washing yours. Make a game of it for them and it will help protect you.
