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.-
