6 easy ways to avoid being sick
Don’t you hate catching a cold? Of course you do. Well, this is the end-all, be-all post about avoiding colds. Save it in your bookmarks, print it out, e-mail it to yourself, share it with all your friends… do whatever it takes, but just remember to follow my instructions.
Supplements:
1.) Start taking a zinc pill every single day! This one little pill helps build up your immune system and taking it regularly keeps it strong. DO IT! If it’s the only advice you take from this, please start taking zinc.
2.) You should also start taking a multi-vitamin. Every doctor in the world will tell you that multi-vitamins have numerous health benefits. I’ll admit, I do slack a little with these, but I do take them at least a couple of days per week. You should too.
3.) Keep a bottle of garlic pills and a bottle of echinacea around. Garlic helps your immune system and your heart. Echinacea helps your immune system. Take the garlic daily if your stomach can handle it, and take the echinacea as soon as you feel a cold coming on.
How to protect your body:
Viruses that cause a cold can only get into your body through your mouth, your nose, or your eyes. Here’s how to keep all 3 in tip top shape.
1.) Wash your hands before you eat. I cannot believe how many people touch food without washing up first. How did it go out of style? Clean hands are always fashionable. Many people get sick by touching something that has germs on it, then putting food in their mouth, thus transferring the cold or flu inside their body. If nothing else, bring individual wet wipes or hand sanitizer.
2.) Use a neti pot to wash out your nose on a daily basis. A lot of germs float through the air and get stuck on the microscopic hairs inside your nose. Then they spread in your body and you get sick. A neti pot washes those germs out of your nose, making it more difficult for anything to stick. In addition, it helps reduce allergy symptoms. People laugh when I tell them about this, but neti pots have been used in other countries for centuries. Every person I’ve had try it gets hooked and swears by them!
3.) And finally, to protect your eyes, don’t rub them or touch them. Many people do it without realizing it. Not only does this irritate your eyes, but it can spread germs from other people who are sick.
Summary
These methods are extremely simple and affordable to work into your daily habits. Don’t put them off! Just think about how bad you feel when you’re suffering with a cold, you’re stuck in bed, you have to miss work, nobody wants to be around you, etc… Don’t you want to avoid all that?
I can’t guarantee you’ll never be sick again, but I can guarantee these 6 things will reduce the amount of times you get sick each year, and also the severity.
Now pass it on!

The Neti Pot is very effective. I use something called the modern neti called Nasopure. It is easier to use, seems much more effective because you control the amount of solution that passes through, travel friendly, kid friendly and comes with 10 weeks of high quality pre-mixed salt packets (2:1 sodium chloride and sodium bicarb)
If you love the Neti or are scared to use the Genie Lamp then check out Nasopure!!!
