Our climate is changing it becomes rainy, sunny, or snow. We people easily get viruses from places we use to go. How are you going to protect yourself from this Flu-virus and cold?

I don't resort to medicines anymore when flu and cold hit me. I turn to herbal and water for relief. It is being said that medications are not really good ideas for one's health, so when I have slight flu and cold, I drink lagundi syrup which my father naturally made (a crashed 1 cup leaves of lagundi is mixed to 1 kilo of brown sugar, boiled until became syrup). Flu and cold will be gone in just two days.
It is better to have some preventions during rainy season. Take vitamin C and eat plenty of fruits and vegetables to boost your immune system and avoid possible flu and cold. I also drink green tea instead of coffee, because it is a good cleansing agent and bring good effect to the digestive tract. When you feel like sneezing or have a slight fever, drink fruit juice and plenty of water to cure the first sign of cold.

i avoid rubbing my eyes if possible when outside or after having shaken hands with people. I never really drank after another person using the same glass and i stick to it. But sometimes you can't completely avoid it. When i do catch a cold or the flu i can't do much besides drinking plenty of liquids and eat fruits with vitamin C since it does help you get better faster. Trying to avoid the cold and flu all the time is like trying not to breath at all lol

Those are all air-borne so I think the best thing to do is just to stay at home. If you can't avoid going out because you are getting bored or you need to buy something then just use disposable mask if you don't want to get such sicknesses. The best thing to do is to drink lots of water, eat nutritious foods, take Vitamin C and don't let others sneeze in front of you. Anyway those are common diseases that we can't avoid most of the time so just drink lots of water if you already have one.
