According to the CDC, washing your hands often with soap and hot water is the most effective way of preventing and spreading diseases. In flu season you may want to also carry antibacterial wipes or waterless hand cleaner with you for shopping or any time you are not near soap and water. We keep GermX in the car and use it when we are done shopping. Stay away from crowds, especially crowds in places like malls and auditoriums. Stay away from those you know are ill with colds or the flu. Get a flu shot. It does not completely prevent the flu, but it can prevent a bad case of it and help reduce the possibility of complications. Especially if you are in a high risk group or work around a lot of people. Eat a balanced diet, and get the rest you need. Taking more vitamin C does not really help. Any more than the body requires is just flushed out of the body within hours. The body does not store vitamin C, so getting the required amount is wise, but more is not better.Health Question & Answer
