I used to call this time of year Cold and Flu Season
These days, I’d call it Virus Season. There are a number of reasons why I become more likely to be infected with a virus this time of year. That’s another discussion.
I need to get used to the idea that the viruses that cause Colds (more 300), Covid, Influenza, and RSV are all air-borne and in the environment pretty much all the time.
Perhaps the best things you can do to protect your Wellness is to do these things:
- Get vaccinated for Flu and Covid. Both are updated at least annually and protect you from the worst version of each.
- While these viruses are air borne, precautions like hand washing frequently, and wearing a mask if you have symptoms are best prectices.
- Do what you can to improve your diet or add supplements to keep your immune system strong.
