This Fall follow these simple steps to keep you from getting sick:
- Wash your hands often. Computer keyboards, doorknobs, supermarket carts handles, handshakes and sneezes harbor the germs that often lead to colds and flu. Cover your mouth when you cough or sneeze.
- Create this easy and effective cleaning solution: Mix 2 teaspoons of organic tea trea oil, 2 teaspoons of organic lavender essential oil in 1/2 cup of water and pour the solution in a small spritzer bottle. Shake well before every single use, squirt the content a couple of times to wipe your hands and the steering wheel of your car. Sprayed on a kleenex or paper towel you can use the solution to wipe your keyboards and door handles. Remember to ALWAYS ask for non-synthetic and pure essential oils.
- Ramp up on Vitamin C intake at the first signs of sickness. Emergen-C powder packets are great. 250 mg to 1,000 mg a day should keep colds at bay.
- Take advantage of day light saving time and get more sleep. 6 to 9 hours are optimal to get your immune system geared up during the remainder of the fall and winter season.
- Watch your food lifestyle. Add more soups, broths made of fresh root vegetables and free range meats. Stay away from sweets and dairy if you have a cold or the flu. Soups and vegetables will be more immunoprotective.
- If a co-worker is sick or the little ones bring back home some souvenirs from daycare or school, remember to ask them to cover their nose and mouth when coughing and sneezing. Most importantly encourate anyone who is sick to STAY AT HOME, including YOU if you catch the bug.
