1. Wash your hands thoroughly and frequently with soap and water for at least 20 seconds.

2. Use a tissue, sleeve or elbow for a sneeze and cough since hands spread germs more quickly.

3. Don’t touch your face in public until you’ve washed your hands.

4. Drink plenty of fluids to flush germs out of your system while you hydrate.

5. Get fresh air to beat the indoor recycled heat and to keep your body moist.

6. Take natural supplements to boost your immune system. A unique North American ginseng extract (sold as Cold-FX) has been shown to boost the immune system and reduce the risk of colds and flu by up to 89%.

7. Eat foods containing vitamin-boosting phytochemicals like dark green, red and yellow vegetables and fruits.

8. Do aerobic exercise regularly to pump oxygen from your lungs to your blood, increasing the body’s natural virus-killing cells.

9. Cut out alcohol since it suppresses the immune system and dehydrates the body, slowing your recovery.

10. Relax quietly or meditate for at least 30 minutes every day to activate your immune system.
