The Flu Influenza Preventative Measures How do

The Flu Influenza Preventative Measures

How do we get it ?

We could blame the kids

Dirty phones could be the cause…

Or we can just get mad about it….

And Sometimes… • … we are forced into situations with people who may have a cold or virus.

Why not start a new trend and stay home…. .

Maybe we could post signs on the sickies at work…

If you wake up coughing, stay in bed.

Smoking increases your chance of a cold…

Are you sick……?

What we need to know is how do we prevent getting into this mess

Prevention • Exercise… • Do workouts on a regular basis, keeping in mind that ‘once in a while’ is not enough.

Prevention • Eat healthy foods – Eat Chicken Soup. – Don’t wait until you get sick to indulge • Eat plenty of fruits and vegetables. – Those who eat balanced meals are the very ones who protect themselves from colds and viruses.

Prevention • Keep hands clean at all times. Wash your hands as many times during the day as possible. …. • Always wash your hands with soap. If there is no soap, wash hands in hot water, and dry them well.

Prevention • Keep a nasal decongestant on hand. • If you begin to feel sniffles coming your way, take the decongestant, without waiting to see if the symptoms get worse.

Prevention • Vitamin C. – Take Vitamin C combined with all of the above. – It will aid in protecting you from those wet sniffles. – Take one each day, and wash it down with orange juice.

Prevention • Buy lots of medicines

Prevention • Get Plenty of Rest and Fluids – We are all aware that bed rest, drinking plenty of liquids, and taking Tylenol, enable us to recover from those nasty, energy-zapping and runny nose viruses.

Prevention • Keep objects clean, especially your telephone. • Any object that you come into contact with has germs left on it.

Have you ever been caught in a sneeze ? ? ?

Prevention • Stay away from people who sneeze constantly. • In fact, we are often times aware when a full-blown sneeze is in the making. • Immediately, turn your head away from the sneezer

Prevention • Keep your mouth shut… drool has germs too….

Prevention • Keep hands away from face. • When coming into contact with a germ, it will not attack you unless you place it on your face with your hands. • Dr. B. A. Jinadu suggests that you, “Don’t pick your nose “

Stay healthy

LET’S TRY TO STAY HEALTHY THIS YEAR. THANKS THE SAFETY GUYS
