How To Stay Healthy
Follow the same actions that you take to prevent any flu—stay healthy yourself and avoid the germs and viruses spread by people who are sick with the flu.

Take common-sense steps to limit the spread of germs. Make good hygiene a habit.

 


  • Wash hands frequently with soap and water.
  • Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue when you cough or sneeze.
  • Put used tissues in a wastebasket.
  • Cough or sneeze into your upper sleeve if you don't have a tissue.
  • Clean your hands after coughing or sneezing. Use soap and water or an alcohol-based hand cleaner.
  • Stay at home if you are sick.

It is always a good idea to practice good health habits.

  • Eat a balanced diet. Be sure to eat a variety of foods, including plenty of vegetables, fruits, and whole grain products. Also include low-fat dairy products, lean meats, poultry, fish, and beans. Drink lots of water and go easy on salt, sugar, alcohol, and saturated fat.
  • Exercise on a regular basis and get plenty of rest.
