I usually get sick many times during the winter. What can I do to avoid this and stay as healthy as possible? I work with children who often seem to bring me germs :)

Use a good liquid hand gel (the bacteria killing ones) often throughout the day (kinder thant washing hands with soap), drink plenty of orange juice, sleep well and eat healthy (to keep immune system healthy) and lastly, avoid touching your eyes/face with your hands during the day as a lot of infections get passed this way.

1. Get the influenza shot.
2. Wash your hands frequently. The reason for increased "colds" during winter is not because of cold weather. The reason is that more people are in closer contact with each other by being indoors. More contact means increased likelihood of viral transmission via airborne droplets or direct human-to-human contact.
3. Eat healthy and exercise. Common sense but it will improve your immune system function.

your immune system is building up, so I predict that you will be less sick this winter.
Plus, get a good nights rest and eat 3 meals a day.
DO NOT get the Flu Shot!

wash hands all the time and dont touch your face. dont share eating utensils or drink out of the same cup. always wash up before eating or preparing food. wash constantly.
