4 Proven Methods To Reduce Colds and Illness by More Than 80%
shared by Brian
1. Wash your hands 7 times a day. A study at Ryerson University found that washing your hands 7 times a day made you four times less likely to get colds and other illnesses - this represents a 75% reduction in getting sick.
It is especially important to wash your hands when you are out in public. You can be exposed to colds and viruses directly by shaking people's hands, or indirectly by touching items such as money, pens, door knobs, hand rails and gym equipement.
2. Avoid touching your eyes, mouth and nose when your hands have not been washed.
3. Try to keep at least 2 feet between yourself and others.
