Six Tips For Staying Healthy This Season

Posted on January 26, 2017 by WestAIR Heating & Cooling

The cooler months of the year are upon us, which means more time indoors. Stay healthy this season with these six easy tips for preventing the spread of germs:

1. Wipe Down Your Phone: Though cold and flu germs are mostly airborne, germs can still spread from your hands and fingers to your face and mouth via mobile phone
2. Turn Down The Heat: Dry air disrupts the protective mucous layer in your nose, making it easier for viruses to invade your body. Try using a humidifier in your home to add some moisture back into the air.
3. Dust Off Your Sneakers: Did you know non-exercisers are three times more likely to catch a cold? Prime your body to fight off germs by moving your body for 30 minutes a day.
4. Use More Than Hand Sanitizer: Good ol’ soap and water is best when it comes to killing germs on your hands.
5. Get Some Rest: Skimping on sleep makes you four times more likely to catch a cold. Schedule bedtime like an important meeting, and make sleep a priority.
6. Break The Habit of Touching Your Face: Rubbing your eyes or scratching your nose makes you 4% more likely to develop frequent upper respiratory infections.
