Suddenly It's Fall!
The fall season brings back fun events like football, apple picking, and pumpkin carving, but also there is usually an uptick in viral illnesses! This viral season has already been a busy one! With flu season upon us I have included a poster illustrating the difference between cold like symptoms and flu like symptoms- please take a second to review...
Important Ways to Fight off Viruses:
Hand washing, Hand washing, Hand washing
Vaccines such as the Flu Vaccine and COVID vaccine
Increasing Antioxidants in your diet to boost your immunity (some listed below):
Citrus Fruits
Strawberries
Bell Peppers, Broccoli, Spinach
Dark Chocolate (My Favorite!)
Busting Myths:
The Flu Vaccine does NOT give you the flu. You can have mild reactions such as a low grade fever, muscle aches, or soreness at the injection site, but those usually resolve within a short time frame. I have included the Vaccine Information Statement from the CDC below so you can be well informed before receiving your flu vaccine.
