To Avoid Catching a Cold or Flu1. The number one best way to prevent the flu is to get a flu shot every year.

2. Keep your mucous membranes (nostrils, mouth, eyes) moist with proper hydration.

3. Clean your hands. When soap and warm water are not available, alcohol-based disposable hand wipes or gel sanitizers (at least 60% alcohol) may be used.

4. Avoid touching your face, eyes, nose, or mouth.

5. Drink plenty of fluids. Water flushes your system, washing out the poisons as it rehydrates you. (How can you tell if you're getting enough liquid? If the color of your urine runs close to clear, you're getting enough. If it's deep yellow, you need more fluids.)

6. Get fresh air. A regular dose of fresh air is important, especially in cold weather when central heating dries you out. (Also, during cold weather more people stay indoors, which means more germs are circulating in crowded, dry rooms.)

7. Some foods might also help. Fruits and vegetables have natural chemicals that help your body use their vitamins. Some studies have shown that eating a daily cup of low-fat yogurt can reduce your susceptibility to colds by 25 percent. Researchers think the beneficial bacteria in yogurt may stimulate production of immune system substances that fight disease.

8. Avoiding cigarette smoke is also good. Statistics show that heavy smokers get more severe colds and more frequent ones. Even being around smoke profoundly weakens your immune system. Smoke dries out your mucous membranes.

9. Avoid people who are sick.

10. Some people recommend that you take 1/4 tsp of Diamond V - XPC Yeast Culture every day, which is the powder they give to race horses to keep them from catching colds. See the related link below.
