Trying to keep your family healthy during the holiday season is a challenge as it happens to occur right in the middle of cold and flu season.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It doesn\u2019t have to be this way\u2026 there are good, proven strategies that we can use to help protect our children and families from dreaded cold and flu viruses.\u00a0\u00a0 According to a recent report on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.webmd.com\/cold-and-flu\/features\/preventing-cold-and-flu-how-doctors-keep-germs-at-bay\" target=\"_blank\">WebMD<\/a> there are some easy to follow tips to help prevent the spread and contraction of those pesky viruses:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><b>Wash those hands!<\/b>\u00a0 If we\u2019ve said it once, we\u2019ve said it a million times.\u00a0 Frequent hand washing with soap and warm water, for a minimum of 20 seconds is a proven, effective way to kill germs. In a crunch, hand sanitizer will work also.\u00a0 I also find myself saying \u201ckeep your hands off of your face\/ out of your mouth\/nose and away from your eyes\u201d at least once per day.\u00a0 Children\u2019s hands do not remain clean very long, so remind them\u2026. wash often, hands off face.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><b>Get your flu shot (or the nasal spray vaccine)!<\/b>\u00a0 This goes for the entire family above 2 years of age.\u00a0 Although this will not guarantee that your child won\u2019t get the flu, the CDC says it is about 65% effective.\u00a0 If the flu is still contracted after the shot, the symptoms should be much milder and last a shorter duration.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><b>Practice healthy habits! <\/b>That\u2019s right.\u00a0 What we should all be doing year round anyways will go extra far during cold and flu season.\u00a0 Eat right.\u00a0 Get plenty of quality sleep.\u00a0 Exercise every day.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In addition, research has been conducted and found that investing in a quality <a href=\"http:\/\/filter.filtersfast.com\/search?w=humidifiers&amp;asug=&amp;view=list&amp;submit1.x=-523&amp;submit1.y=-104\" target=\"_blank\">home humidifier<\/a> can help fight the flu. \u201cIt seems that [the influenza virus\u2019] ability to survive and be transmitted person-to-person is greatly affected by how dry or wet the air is,\u201d says Jeffrey Shaman, PhD, of Oregon State University in Corvallis, whose study is published in <i>Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences<\/i>.\u00a0 The flu virus thrives in low moisture, dry environments, so by using a humidifier, you are able to control the indoor humidity level, thus reducing the potential spread of the virus.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Also, make sure you change your home\u2019s HVAC <a href=\"http:\/\/www.filtersfast.com\/Air-Filters-Purifiers-cat.asp\" target=\"_blank\">air filters<\/a>. By design, these filters are made to remove dust, mold, pollen, allergens and bacteria from the air.\u00a0 By removing these airborne particulates, you will be breathing cleaner, healthier air.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Fight back this year against cold and flu season.\u00a0 My Grandma always said, \u201cAn ounce of prevention is worth more than a pound of cure.\u201d So, enjoy the holidays this year\u2026 with a <i>healthy<\/i> family!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Have you have ever been awakened early morning with a very sick child, only to realize that you have a house full of family members coming in a few hours for Thanksgiving dinner?\u00a0 There is nothing worse than trying to comfort a sick, little one while trying to mash the potatoes, stuff the turkey and [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":16,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[2175],"tags":[3422,3425,3426,3421,3424,3423],"ppma_author":[86199],"class_list":{"0":"post-17083","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-health-education","7":"tag-keep-kids-healthy","8":"tag-prevent-cold","9":"tag-prevent-flu","10":"tag-stay-healthy","11":"tag-tips-for-staying-healthy","12":"tag-ways-to-stay-healthy","13":"entry","14":"has-post-thumbnail"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.6 (Yoast SEO v27.6) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Keep Kids &amp;
