Flu is definitely a hands-on kind of experience. Use soap and warm water before meals or after contact with sick people. Meanwhile, keep your hands away from your face. Most bugs sneak in through the mucous membranes in your nose, eyes, or mouth. If your doctor agrees, exercise regularly.
Studies suggest that regular exercise boosts the immune system.
But don t overdo. Hormones secreted during killer workouts can suppress immunity for up to 24 hours. Get 7 to 8 hours of sleep every night. Sleep-deprived zombies have fewer natural killer cells to fight off the invaders. Listen to a sonata a day or whatever style of music appeals.
