Holiday Illness – Awareness is best friend during this time

All have one of the best time to celebrating joy, happiness with family and friends during holiday.

But there are lots of reasons why the holidays have people feeling sick.

Most people get their workouts accomplished in the gym because of the cold weather, so used exercise equipment, such as a used treadmill, and other used fitness equipment can turn into incubators for germs because more people are inside working out instead of being outside and more people are sick in the winter time.

Get the flu vaccine, which is not only prevents the flu, but it can also boost your immune system so you do not get any other nasty colds that may be connected to the flu.

If body is not as immune to other colds, so you may get even sicker before you get better when you contract the flu. Also, the flu can last for a week or longer, something that can definitely ruin the holidays.

After use the restroom and after you have been in a crowded area (such a mall), washing hands is one thing that requires the least amount of effort, yet it is something that will keep you healthy. Get good antibacterial soap and wash your hands on a regular basis.

Do not go outside when it is very cold in outfits that are appropriate for summer. Wear a heavy, winter jacket, gloves, a scarf, mittens, and a hat.

It is important to keep your head warm when you are outside, so your body does not get too cold. When your body is cold for long periods of time, it becomes more susceptible to germs. Try not to stay outside for too long without the appropriate clothing.

Eating poorly can also cause people to feel sick. Oranges are high in Vitamin C and greens are also good for your body.
