Tis the season to be sick. How can you prevent getting sick when you have been around sick people? I eat healthy and exercise to keep my immune system healthy, but I still seem to get whatever germs and viruses that are going around.

You need to take a good mulitvitamin daily and a good antioxidant supplement to keep your immune system healthy. If you are around a lot of people coughing then wear a mask. Wash your hands often and use a hand sanitizer solution when you can't wash them. When you get home take your clothes off and put them in the wash.

Wash your hands. Studies show that even after contact with a sick person, a good 30 sec handwashing will keep you well.

Take a multi vitamin and wash your hands all the time. Carry that hand sanitizer around with you as well.
