The great folks at Wet Ones (isn’t every mom grateful to Wet Ones?) sent me these tips for avoiding colds and flu this holiday season. Â The holidays bring time with relatives, celebrations, shopping… and contact with more germs than usual. Â It’s not the cheeriest thought to have, but it’s reality. Â We are stressed, often miss sleep, and exposed to more germs during the holidays. Â Here are ten quick tips on making your holidays healthier!
1. Â This is number one on every list! Â Wash your hands frequently.
2. Â Wash your face. Â We all know about hands, but it’s also helpful to wash your face more often as well.
3. Â Don’t touch your face. Â People touch their face hundreds of times a day! Â Stop that :)
4. Â Keep your immune system healthy by eating balanced meals with lots of fruits and veggies.
5. Â Take extra care for 7 days after a cold or the flu to prevent the spread of infection.
6. Â Pay attention to the health of your child’s friends and classmates. Â Reschedule play dates if someone is contagious!
7.  Carry anti-bacterial products like wipes  in your purse.  Handy to clean little hands and surfaces where ever you are.
8. Â Use hot water for germy laundry – only hot water kills germs.
9. Â Get enough sleep! Â Your body needs rest to recover from an illness and to keep your immune system strong.
10. Â Clean your most-touched household surfaces with anti-bacterial wipes.
