Flu Facts - ways to minimize flu/illness
Your head aches, and so does every bone in your body. You're cold one minute and hot the next. Your throat is scratchy, you're starting to cough - you may be getting the flu!
Ways to minimize flu/illness:
1. Use liquid soap in bathrooms.
2. Disposable paper cups in bathrooms
3. Seperate hand towel for each family member is ideal.
4. Store up on tissues!
5. Sneezing into arm sleeve preferably over hands to prevent spread germs.
6. Schedule periods of downtime to promote rest during peak flu season.
7. Push fluids! Stock up on 100% fruit juices, sport drinks, decaffinated beverages, include water.
8. Those Zinc Lozenges do work!
9. Chicken type soups do help to loosen mucous.
10. Stay home if running temp over 100.0, productive cough etc.--all except for the boss, of course!
