If you, yourself, haven't been sick this winter, you definitely know someone who has.
The coughing, sneezing, and general stuffy heads all around us right now are enough to make anyone want to hide inside until spring arrives. But, alas, that's not possible for most of us. So, what can you do to defend against all the nasty bugs out there? Here are some easy practices to follow:
Drink plenty of fluids and stay hydrated
Wash your hands frequently with soap and water
Eat balanced, nutritious meals
Avoid touching faucets and door handles when possible
Exercise regularly
If you're going to drink alcohol, drink in moderation
Most importantly, take time to relax and rest adequately. If you let yourself get run down, you might as well send an invitation out to germs!
By helping to reduce stress and improve sleep quality, regular reflexology treatments should support your hard-working immune system.
Obviously, there is no guarantee that if you do all of these things that you won't still get sick. However, sticking to these healthy principles should give you much better odds of staying well.
