How To Ward Off Illness In The Future

Someone extremely wise said that “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.”

Many individuals keep going and going until they are completely worn out to the point of illness. Don’t let this happen to you. Take some time to prevent and ward off illness in the future by using simple everyday precautions.

Preventing illness is a simple matter of habit. It’s so easy to get into bad habits that it stands to reason that good habits are equally easy to learn.

3 Simple Ways To Ward Off Illness

Learning good health hygiene and proactive health habits will surely give you something to smile about. For starters, you’ll feel and look better and secondly, you’ll save money on time out from work, money spent on doctors, and prescriptions that may even leave you feeling worse than ever.

Good Healthy Hygiene

As simple as it may sound, hand washing is really still one of the best ways to prevent illness. Make it a habit, a good habit, to begin washing your hands after every visit to the store. While it may be commonplace to want to start putting those groceries away and get on to cooking or other chores around the house, the best practice is to come home and immediately wash your hands. Those supermarket carts are full of germs waiting to spread.

If you can, pack some towelettes in your purse or in your car. The simple act of washing up your hands a bit before you touch your nose or mouth or worse yet, your food, is a great way to ward off germs and viruses.

Proper Rest

We all live in a society where multi-tasking isn’t only a way of life, it’s expected. Without proper rest, however, your body doesn’t have the opportunity to regenerate itself. If your cells aren’t refreshed, then your body won’t be able to fight when an enemy attacks the immune system.

Proper rest is essential to optimal health.

Stay Hydrated

We all hear about the benefits of staying hydrated and drinking water. Most of us probably even say that we will do it tomorrow, but tomorrow comes and we forget, once again, to stay hydrated. If you don’t like water, try adding lemon or lime or try any of the many iced teas, lemonades, or low-calorie drink mixes. As long as you’re drinking, you are staying hydrated. In addition, don’t forget that fruits hydrate and refresh your skin, too.
