Hi all! As meny of you already know, I am off due to a strong flu... 🤢
With the cold season here, the flu is lurking around, so if you want to prevent it, here are some key tips:
1️⃣ Wash your hands frequently with soap and water, especially after coughing or sneezing.
2️⃣ Avoid touching your face, especially your eyes, nose, and mouth.
3️⃣ Wear a mask in crowded or enclosed spaces, like public transport or busy indoor areas.
4️⃣ Keep indoor spaces well-ventilated.
5️⃣ Strengthen your immune system with a balanced diet rich in fruits and vegetables.
6️⃣ Get the flu vaccine, especially if you belong to a high-risk group.
7️⃣ Cover your mouth when sneezing or coughing with your elbow or a disposable tissue.
But what if you (like me) have already got it?
1️⃣ Get plenty of rest. Your body needs energy to fight the virus.
2️⃣ Stay hydrated. Drink water, teas, or broths to soothe your throat and avoid dehydration.
3️⃣ Eat light, nutritious meals. Go for soups and fruits rich in vitamin C.
4️⃣ Ease your symptoms. Use soft tissues, vaporizers, and follow your doctor’s advice for medications.
5️⃣ Avoid spreading it to others. Stay home, wear a mask if needed, and disinfect surfaces.
I hope to be back to work this week, but if you are experiencing any symptoms, please, let me know and I will reschedule your appointment with no problem at all!
Thanks and stay healthy!
