Can you believe that it has been 3 years (5 years as of 11/1/11) since I’ve had a cold or the flu? I have friends all around me that are getting sick (including my husband) and yet I still make it through the seasons with my health intact. What have I been doing to keep this streak alive for so long?

3 Ways to Avoid The Cold & Flu Season

Drink More Water – It’s amazing how much water that our bodies really need which is so much more than the typical 8 glasses a day. That is a great start but we need a large intake of water to flush out all of the toxins and impurities out of our system. My goal is to drink 100 oz of water every day. I usually hit 80 oz / day.

Consistent Exercise I have been working out 6 days a week for 15 minutes / day. As you can tell from my About Me page, it was vital for me to find the most effective, efficient workout regime with my super busy lifestyle.

Multi-Vitamins Although I try my best to eat nutritious food, there are times when I don’t do well with my eating plan. That is why I’m so grateful for Prograde Women’s Vitamins which provide Whole Food based nutrition (not synthetic) to keep your body’s system running like a well-oiled, fat burning machine.

So what are some other ways that you’ve been keeping yourself healthy despite so many cases of the flu? It is music to my ears each time that my kids ask me, “Mom, is this food healthy for me?” or “Should I eat this, Mom? I’m not sure if it is healthy for me.”

I believe that it is so awesome that an 8 year old (now 10) and a 4 year old (now 6) are continually asking about their health and making mental notes as they go about their lives. My hope is that my answers will stay with them for the rest of their healthy lives as well. Make it your goal to avoid the cold and flu season this year and so many more years to come. I hope to keep my streak alive to infinity and beyond!
