Answers:
using sanitizers to clean remotes and all surfaces that you touch will help!. Also cleaning grocery cart handles Its hard to not catch it when so many people are not careful and will cough without covering their mouth!. Or sneeze in there hand or wipe their nose with their hands and then wipe it on their pants then later shake your hands!. Another source of catching the flue or cold is kids alot of parents dont teach their kids the right way to wash their hands, if they even do!. I was with a friends kid who went to leave the bathroom with out washing her hands, I stopped her and made her wash them as she fought me!. I explained that if she did not she will not hold my hand or touch any of my stuff cause she is carring bathroom germs on her hands and it could make me and my baby sick!. Since then she washes her hands!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

One of the simpler things I do (for both myself and my 2 kids) is to drink 1 full glass of Orange Juice a day - typically in the a!.m!. before school/day care and we all take our vitamins as well!.
Surprisingly this has helped tremendously - my youngest (2 1/2) hasn't been sick in OVER 7 months!
