With the winter season here, people are getting sick everywhere! I’m always weary when my coworkers or friends start getting sick because I know soon after I will probably get sick too. Contrary to popular belief, taking large amounts of Vitamin C does not help boost your immune system enough to keep you from getting sick. After much research, girlrobot brings you the best ways to prevent getting sick this winter season!

1. Avoid people who are sick. If your coworkers are sick, tell them to go home. If people you live with are sick, stay away from them and make sure they cover their mouths when they cough or sneeze. Also, avoid sharing towels, utensils, phones or anything of that nature with them.

2. Wash your hands. Alot. I even read it would be a good idea to keep a hand sanitizer nearby. This is probably the easiest and best way to keep yourself from getting sick. Wash your hands before touching your nose or mouth!

3. Keep your immune systems strong by eating healthy, sleeping regularly, and exercising.
