The cold and flu season is upon us, and during this rainy season it can be especially hard to stay ahead of the game. At Discount Centre & Pharmacy and Liguanea Lane Pharmacy, we know how important it is to not only recognize the signs and symptoms of these illnesses but also know what steps you can take to prevent them from happening in the first place. Here are some tips on avoiding catching a cold or flu this rainy season:
1. Wash your hands often with soap and water.
This helps to reduce the spread of germs that cause colds and flus.
2. Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
Stay away from crowds if possible and keep yourself at least 6 feet away from those who do have a cold or flu.
3. Disinfect surfaces in your home…
Such as doorknobs and countertops, on a regular basis. This helps to reduce germs that can cause colds and flus.
4. Increase your intake of vitamins C and D.
Both of these vitamins are important for strengthening your immune system, making it easier for you to fight off infections like the common cold or flu.
5. Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of fluids throughout the day.
Water is especially important for keeping your body healthy during this rainy season.
6. Get adequate rest and exercise regularly, such as practicing yoga.
Your body needs time to recuperate after a long day, and regular exercise can help boost your immune system.
All of these items and more are available in the Convenience Store section of each Pharmacy.
