The
most

way
to
reduce
your
chances
of
catching
the
flu
is
to
get
vaccinated.
The
Centers

Disease
Control
and
Prevention
recommends
that

age
of
six
months
get
a

Hygiene

Like
with
any
illness,
practicing
good
hygiene
can
go
a
long
way
in
preventing
the
spread
of
the
flu.
Be
sure
to
wash
your
hands
regularly,
cover
your
mouth
when
you
cough
or
sneeze,
and
avoid
touching
your
face. Stay
Home
when
Sick
-
If
you
do
come
down
with
the
flu,
it's
best
to
stay
home
until
you
are
no
longer
contagious.
This
can
help
prevent
spreading
the
illness
to
others
who
may
be
more
vulnerable. Stay
Nourished
-
During
a
bout
of
illness,
it's
important
to
stay
hydrated
and
nourished.
Be
sure
to
drink
plenty
of
fluids
and
eat
healthy,
nutrient-dense
foods
to
give
your
body
the
fuel
it
needs
to
fight
off
infection. Rest
Up
-
Adequate
rest
is
crucial
when
you're
sick
with
the
flu.
Take
it
easy,
get
plenty
of
sleep,
and
let
your
body
work
to
heal
itself. While
the
flu
can
be
a
serious
illness,
following
these
simple
steps
can
help
reduce
your
chances
of
catching
it
and
spreading
it
to
others.
Stay
healthy
and
take
care
during
this
flu
season!
