It's Flu Season - Protect Yourself! by Sherri Allen

Practicing general wellness can also provide some protection from the flu. After all, your body can fight the flu virus better when it has a healthy head start. Remember to follow these healthy habits:

* Drink Plenty of Water. Most adults need 64 ounces of fluids a day.

* Exercise Regularly. The CDC recommends at least 30 minutes of moderate exercise for 5 days a week.

* Eat Well-Balanced Meals. Be sure to include a variety of fruits and vegetables in your diet. Don't rely on vitamin supplements to provide your nutrients; they don't contain the phytochemicals found in fruits and vegetables.

* Get Plenty of Rest. Experts recommend adults get between 7-9 hours of sleep per night.

Protect yourself from the flu this season. There's no way to guarantee you won't contract the flu, but you can certainly minimize your chances of being infected with the virus. Stay healthy and, should you be unfortunate enough to get the flu, please stay home!
