7 Tips to Prevent the Flu

August 8, 2025 admin No comments yet

Tip #1: Get vaccinated

The best way to protect yourself from the flu is to get your annual flu vaccine. Flu shots strengthen your immune response and help your body fight off potential illness. Pneumococcal vaccines are recommended for those over 65 to help protect against pneumonia and meningitis. Talk with your primary care physician to find out which vaccination options are best for you.

Tip #2: Wash your hands

Frequent hand washing helps remove germs and bacteria that can make you sick. Wash your hands for at least 20 seconds (or sing the Happy Birthday song twice) while scrubbing well. Keeping hand sanitizer handy is also a good idea.

Tip #3: Avoid touching your face

It’s something that’s easy to do without thinking about it, but it’s a habit you should work on avoiding or breaking. When you touch your face, it can transfer germs your hands have collected onto your face. Especially avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth.

Tip #4: Clean surfaces

Surfaces should be sanitized regularly, especially in public places. Tables, doorknobs, computers, phones, car steering wheels and stair railings are just a few surfaces you should sanitize during flu season.

Tip #5: Avoid close contact with sick people

All too often, we think visiting loved ones who are sick is a nice thing to do. It’s better that you do not get in close contact with sick people. If someone in your household isn’t feeling well, give them space.

Tip #6: Avoid crowded public places

Take extra precautions when going to public places. Churches, restaurants, airplanes and entertainment venues can all be hotbeds for germs. Carry hand sanitizer with you and consider if the event is worth the risk of getting sick. Remember: most restaurants have takeout options.

Tip #7: Good health starts with a healthy lifestyle

There are easy things you can do to help your body fight off illnesses. Getting a good night’s sleep is one of the best ways to help fight illnesses. Eating healthy foods, especially foods high in vitamin C and zinc (both of which can help boost immune response), is an easy and delicious way to stay healthy. Moderate exercise can also help your body fight illness — and having a workout routine is one of the best ways you can stay healthy.

Conclusion

Flu season isn’t fun. But there are ways to help prevent it from becoming dangerous. Incorporating these small tips into your life can help you fight off illnesses and live a healthier life.
