It’s that time of year again, folks. Don’t get too excited, we’re not talking about the holidays. It’s cold and flu season. Eeach year, millions will be hit with a cold or flu, with almost as many taking time off work or life to recover. Symptoms range from mild to severe, and can even be life-threatening. This year, a mismatched H3N2 strain was incorrectly vaccinated, so American men are at risk of contracting the flu more than usual. Those at risk of cold and flus include the elderly, children, those with lowered immune systems, and people who come into contact with the cold and flu virus.

Power Through Cold & Flu Season
The cold and flu virus is especially annoying because it wipes out your system. Suddenly, you have no energy to do anything and the list of things you need to do is getting longer. Here are some quick tips you can use if you get slammed this flu season. Each will help you get back on your feet in no time!
- Ask for help! One of the things we are awful at is asking for help, yet most people are willing to do so. If you need time off work then talk to your boss. If you have to cancel plans, then consider rearranging. Communicating your needs will make you and your commitments feel much better!
- Take the rest time! Many times we think we are on the mend, when in fact our immune system is simply powering up the next phase. Do not rush your recovery. Take time off. Those who take time to recover do so much faster than those who fall into the good day bad day camp.
- Drink lots of water! It’s sage advice for a reason, yet many of us do not drink enough water! Water facilitates all the important mechanisms needed to flush out your system and get you back on your feet. The more water you drink, the better you will feel. Sip slow and steady for best results, and aim for at least 8 glasses a day.
