5 Ways to Avoid the Flu

Avoid Sugar-

Sugar decreases your immune function almost immediately, a strong immune system is likely to fight off viruses and other illnesses including the flu.

Get Adequate Rest-

Regular rest will keep your body strong and ensure the body has strength to fight off potential invaders.

Exercise-

When you exercise you increase circulation and blood flow throughout the body.  The components of your immune system are also better circulated, which means your immune system has a better chance of finding an illness before it starts to spread.

Wash Hands-

Keep the germs off!!

Eat a Balanced Diet-

Eat a diet rich in fruits and vegetables full of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants to keep your immune system strong and then can easily fight any potential bugs.
