This feature is Part 2 of 3 of our “Stay Healthy Tip of the Day” series, presented with Coldrops®. Coldrops® for Symptom Relief in Just One Drop®.

The days are starting to get cooler as we get further into fall, and with the clocks recently falling back, it’s important to give ourselves proper care and make sure we’re getting enough rest as we adjust to the time change.

With cold season upon us, here are some tips to help keep you and your family germ free:

  • Eating well balanced and nutritious meals play an essential role in keeping your immune system strong and maintaining overall wellness, especially during cold season.
  • Relax! When you’re feeling stressed so is your immune system making it harder to fight off germs and viruses.
  • Turning back the clocks is a perfect excuse to add an extra hour of sleep to your schedule.   8-10 hours of sleep each night is recommended to give your body and immune system energy to fight off any incoming bugs.
  • Wash your bedding frequently to remove germs, dust mites and dead skin cells
  • Get active! Prioritize physical activity and maintain a healthy lifestyle to help strengthen your immune system.
  • Clean and disinfect surfaces and shared items regularly. Viruses can live on hard surfaces such as countertops, door handles and light switches for up to 8 hours.
  • Utilize fans in high moisture areas of your home such as the bathroom and kitchen to help prevent the growth of mold and bacteria.
  • To prevent spreading germs to others, cover your mouth and nose with a tissue or your upper sleeve when your cough or sneeze.
  • Use paper towels to turn off the faucet and open the door when you’re using a public washroom.

And if you do catch a cold, keep Coldrops® for soothing relief readily available. Coldrops® is formulated with a naturally sourced blend of menthol and fractionated coconut oil for temporary relief of nasal congestion, sore throat and cough in just one drop.
