1. Avoid prolonged contact with sick people

It's time to sort out your relationships and avoid anyone who doesn't seem healthy. To recognize them, these people seem to have a fever and a cough.

2. Wash your hands regularly with soap and water

In times of epidemics, it is advisable to wash your hands carefully after physical contact (shaking hands), before each meal and after taking public transport.

If you can't do it right away, avoid putting your hands in your face. Or use a hydroalcoholic hand gel.

3. Pay attention to your lifestyle

For this, it is important to rest well, to eat a balanced diet, especially fresh fruits and vegetables in season. And of course to practice regular physical activity.

Bonus tip

The flu epidemic would spread according to doctors in countries with low sunshine. The sun sends us vitamin D via its light rays. In winter, the lack of sunshine weakens us and the flu takes over our tired bodies.

To remedy this, I favor a diet richer in vitamin D, based on dairy products (milk, cheese), eggs, fish including salmon, tuna and mackerel.

All these foods are particularly rich in vitamin D and strengthen my immune defenses. Personally, I also find them very good so I have no trouble consuming them on a daily basis.
