SIMPLE STEPS

TO STAY HEALTHY
DURING COLD AND
FLU SEASON
Make your health a priority

1 HAND WASHING
Wash your hands frequently, especially
after blowing your nose, coughing,
sneezing, or being near those who are ill

2 STAY RESTED
Get enough sleep and try to avoid getting
to a point where you feel "run down" or
exhausted

3 EXERCISE REGULARLY
AND STAY HYDRATED
At least 30 minutes of physical activity
everyday, in addition to eating right and
drinking plenty of water, will surely help
to ward off illness

4 KEEP TISSUES HANDY

Use tissues for coughs and sneezes and
dispose of them immediately - and
remember to wash your hands soon after

5 AVOID CROWDS
Avoid crowded areas as much as possible
- such as concerts - and keep your
distance from people who are believed to
be ill

6 STAY HOME
If you become ill, stay home from work or
school if at all possible
