TIPS TO AVOID THE FLU

Here are a couple of things you may not have thought about: 

  1. When you travel, DO NOT use the pillows supplied by the hotel.  Bring your own or if you can’t do that, bring something clean and cover the pillow with it. 
  2. Every time you use your toothbrush, rinse it with alcohol and let it air dry.  Or, place it in a sunny place and let the UV rays kill the germs.
  3. Many grocery stores now have wipes for the carriage handles by the entry doors.  These are particularly useful because most often children contaminate the handles.       
  4. Use Zicam Nasal Swabs and/or zinc (but not too much of it).  It keeps viruses from reproducing, thus cutting down on the strength of the infection.

I know these seem like small things but they have helped me stay healthy for a long time.  Do you have any stay-healthy tips?
