The hairbrush trick that whisks off 12 pounds
BREATHE DEEP
Limit stress to maintain a healthy immune system with a relaxation technique that is simple, yet effective – breathing. The act of consciously breathing relaxes the mind and lowers stress hormones that weaken
the immune system.
STAY HYDRATED
Increase your water intake to help you stay healthy and lessen your chance of coming down with flu. Drinking extra fluids prevents
dehydration caused by
fever, loosens mucus,
and keeps your throat
moist. Warm liquids
are best, and there is
some evidence that
inhaling steam early in
the course of a cold or flu
may reduce the spread of viruses in your upper respiratory tract.
BE PREPARED
If you do come down with flu, make sure you have Boiron’s
Oscillococcinum® on hand. It reduces the severity and duration of flu-like symptoms
such as body aches, headache, fever, chills, and fatigue.-
