Vitamin C & D + 5 Tips To Avoid the Flu

download

Some people are just slobs. They can’t help it. 

Like me, for instance.

I don’t think to take my bowl to the sink, at least not until I see the cat sipping from it. I like to throw my wet shoes off when I walk in the door because my feet are wet and cold; it’s only later that I notice the puddle they left on the rug, and how their smell is permeating the foyer.

My wife isn’t buying it though.

She’s the type that can spot a speck of food in my teeth from across the room when I’m not even aware of it.She swoops like a hawk through our living room, picking up all the random detritus left by myself and our two young children, glaring at us with “you should feel guilty” eyes all the while.

She keeps me on my toes, and it’s forced me to be more diligent and aware. 

Avoiding the flu this time of year is essentially the same. There are lots of little details to be watched, repetitive rituals to be observed, and doing things that aren’t exactly tons of fun.

This flu season is already in full swing, and a quick scan of the news shows a path of devastation and deaths across the country already.

You simply can’t be a slob when it comes to fighting off the flu. Try these tips to have a flu-less season:

  1. Get Vaccinated – Like doing the dishes, no one really likes getting shots, but the CDC says they reduce your chances of contracting the illness by 70% to 90%.
  2. Wash Your Hands – Something my wife makes me do! Hopefully, you’re not as gross as I am, but keeping your hands clean can reduce your risk of contracting the flu by a third.
  3. Load up on Vitamins – We’re really not trying to sound like your mother, but Vitamin D can reduce your flu risk by as much as 50%, vitamin C is just good for your immune system, as are echinacea and garlic.
  4. Stay Home – I know it seems like you’re somehow earning bonus points for coming into the office while feeling sick, but you’ll regret it when your boss and coworkers all turn up ill shortly thereafter. Stay home, rest up; your company will appreciate it.
  5. Clean Up – Yep, total bummer. But you’re going to be surrounded by the virus, and the cleaner you keep your office and home, the better chance you stand of avoiding it.

Doing all of these things isn’t going to guarantee you won’t get the virus, just like overloading the dishwasher isn’t going to win any bonus points with my wife. But the more sensible steps you take towards prevention, the better your odds of not getting sick (and being yet another burden on your poor overworked spouse.)
