How to avoid getting a Cold

Here at Sunshine Herbs, we know that just taking and consuming herbal supplements is not going to get you the best health you can - especially during those cooler seasons where it's easy to catch a cold / flu.

Here are just some tips to prevent getting flues, colds and generally to prevent getting sick. 

To make the most of these tips, you will need to live a Healthy Lifestyle - one that is active with a great Healthy Diet.

The first tip is to wash and dry your hands regularly. We believe that washing your hands with soap and warm water is the most important thing you can do to prevent getting sick. Of course, drying is very important too as germs cling to skin more easily when it’s wet.

Smoking is a big no no when it comes to living healthy. Heavy smokers get more frequent and severe colds and illnesses, because smoke dries out nasal passages and destroys cilia, the hair-like fibers in your nose that sweep cold and flu viruses out of the nasal passages.

We also recommend decreasing your intake of alcohol and increasing your intake of water instead. Alcohol suppresses the part of the immune system that protects you from getting sick and the part that fights germs already in your system. We recommend, reaching for water, which is especially important to fight the dehydrating effects of dry winter air. Immune system cells need sufficient moisture to work optimally.
