Fight the flu
Tuesday, October 13th, 2009
It’s that time of the season. Coughs, sneezes and runny noses are everywhere. And as if the regular seasonal flu weren’t enough to send us to the store for extra hand sanitizer, there’s the reports and stories of H1N1 to contend with. Kinda make us want to crawl in a cave for the winter. Well, we can run, but we can’t hide. Germs are gross. Being sick is the pits. But the good news is that there are things you can do to stay healthy this season, and they don’t necessarily have to include getting a vaccine. Take a few cues from this CNN article. It suggests following a reasonable regime of eating healthy, resting and, most importantly, de-stressing in order to boost your immune system. Doing something healthy for your soul, say a yoga or prana stretch class, could be one of the best things you do for your body all winter. So grab your mat, chill out and show Mr. Sick who’s boss.
