While you may not wish to lock lips with your loved one when he/she has a cold, do not miss any opportunity to pucker up when you both are healthy. When you and your partner swap spit, you’re exposing yourself to each other’s germs, which helps strengthen your immunity.
Listen to some tunes
The benefits of music are beyond your imagination. It reduces stress, improves memory and also boosts immunity. So if you just considered music as sound, it’s time you changed your opinion and started listening to music that really moves you.
Be obsessed with hand washing
Even if you are exposed to the flu, if you clean your hands before you touch your face, there’s little chance the germs can reach your eyes, nose, or mouth, the usual ways they enter your system and start wreaking havoc. The key is to make hand cleansing a habit. Aside from after a bathroom break, wash your hands with soap and water—or use hand sanitizer—before you eat, after being in crowded public places, like the mall, or if you’ve been near someone who’s sneezing or coughing.
Gargle
Gargle with salt water to ease the pain of a sore throat sometime or another, but yes, it works. Studies say that gargling with tap water a few times a day keeps cold miles away.
Stop nibbling your nails
When you bite your nails, you’re basically inviting flu germs to infect you. No matter how anal you are about hand washing, let’s face it—you can’t park yourself in front of a sink or use hand sanitizer 24-7. That’s where the avoid-unnecessarily-touching-your-face rule comes in.
