How to avoid colds and flu this winter?
 Granny was right - keeping warm can help you 
avoid coughs, colds and flu.
 Although most infections are mainly carried in the air 
and transmitted by the "aerosol" effect when 
someone sneezes, germs can be transmitted by 
physical contact and enter the body when infected 
hands touch vulnerable parts like our eyes, mouths 
and noses.
 Low cloud, dull and misty conditions tend to 
bring an increase in germs.
 Central heating reduces our defenses and 
affects the respiratory system. The dry, stuffy 
air of central heating can also lead to sore 
throats .A humidifier can help.
 The Echinacea plant is popularly used to boost 
the immune system in fighting colds and flu, 
and also as an agent to help heal viral and 
bacterial infections.
 The mineral zinc is essential to help fight colds. Good 
food sources include meat, oysters, eggs, seafood, tofu, 
black- eyed peas and wheat germ. Zinc and Vitamin C 
make a great cold-busting duo. 
 Garlic helps ease chest complaints, and small amounts 
taken daily may also reduce the frequency of colds and 
flu.
 Doctors recommend we drink about eight 
glasses of water a day to stay healthy.
 If you feel stressed you are more likely to 
become ill compared to when you're feeling 
happy and relaxed.
 Don't underestimate the importance of 
regular activity, especially in winter.
 Taking a daily multivitamin is especially 
important in the winter when we may be less 
likely to be eating enough fresh fruit and 
vegetables, and are also more at risk from 
infection.
