Although there are many ways to avoid winter sickness, here are a few suggestions:

• Wash hands regularly: This is a simple solution that seems to be the most effective. Avoid physical contact whenever possible and wash your hands FREQUENTLY.
• Hand sanitizers: There are many products on the market that are inexpensive and made in convenient shapes and sizes. Buy some, put them in your pockets and purses and use them regularly!
• Get more sleep: When a body is well rested, it has more strength to fight the new germs.
• Home Humidifier: Many viruses can only live in a low humidity environment. Putting more humidity in your house can narrow your chances of getting sick.
• Bundle Up! Try to keep your body at a regular temperature. Let your body adjust slowly to the change in temperature outside.
