Being sick is the worst, but being sick when you are away from home is even worse. So if you have travel plans coming up, whether business or for fun, there are a few things you can do to boost your immunity and hopefully keep the germs from cold and flu season away.
Wash your hands a lot– As simple as this tip sounds, it can really make a difference. Wash your hands before you eat, after using the restroom, after coming in contact with people that are sneezing or coughing, and when you return from public places be sure to lather up. Basically wash your hands often throughout the day. Be sure to use hot water and lots of soap, too. Skip the hot air blowers in the public bathrooms and instead opt for paper towels. Get into the habit of using paper towels to open the bathroom doors so ensure you don’t get germs on your clean hands from people who are not washing their hands.
Carry antibacterial wipes with you– Clean down surfaces while you travel. From door knobs, tray tables, seat belts, conference room and hotel tables, phones and chairs, and bathroom fixtures from the airport to the hotel to your destination-get rid of germs with antibacterial wipes. It may seem a bit excessive, but this is a great way to ensure you don’t get sick.
