1-Wash your hands! It’s simple, takes one minute, and can protect you from germs that hand sanitizer can’t kill.
2-Get a minimum of 30 minutes of exercise 5 times per week. Getting the blood flowing re-oxygenates your body and helps boost your immune system.
3-Stay well hydrated. In the cooler weather, we forget that hydration is still important!
4-When you travel, change your clothes and take a shower after every flight to get rid of the germs you encountered en route.
5-Don’t skimp on sleep! Rest is essential for your health.
6-Mediatation, yoga, or a short walk to start your day and put your mind in the right place can significantly improve your day.
7-Cut back on sugary foods and increase your vegetable and protein intake to boost your energy and your immune system.
8-Spend time outside getting fresh air on a daily basis.
9-Avoid sitting down for long periods of time. If you get up every hour to get a drink, walk around, or stretch, your body will thank you.
10-Smile, laugh, and be happy. One of the most important, but easily forgotten, components of health is happiness!
