How To Avoid Colds & Flu

Interesting article posted over at Readers Digest about preventing cold & flu. They give 23 tips that can help you increase your odds of staying well. All are backed with research & backup information and some are ones that I'd never heard before. Things like:

- When washing your hands, wash them twice - research shows that one hand washing has little effect

- Lower the heat in your house by 5 degrees - dry, overheated homes are perfect for cold viruses

- Inhale air from your blow dryer - studies show that people that breath heated air have 1/2 as many cold symptoms as those who don't.
