- Take an all-natural immune booster: Seek out formulations with clinically proven information. Many of the products available have an overabundance of ingredients, which are not necessarily the ones your body needs. Seek quality rather than quantity.
- Wash your hands frequently: Although a hand sanitizer does work in helping to protect against bacteria, be sure to wash your hands under warm water using a healthy amount of soap for at least 1 minute if possible.
