Here in the UK, we’re entering cold and flu season. Colds and flu are enemies of impact. They can reduce your vitality and energy levels, devastate your poise, obfuscate your thoughts and give you an irritating nasal voice. They are not good for rapport – people will naturally want to steer clear of the poorly you, even if you do manage to hide the symptoms!
So what do you do?
Well prevention is better than cure, so here are my Top 7 Tips for Staying Flu-Free:
- Eat a diet rich in fruit and vegetables. If you do need supplements, top up on vitamins C, A and E and zinc and selenium
- Exercise, but not to excess
- Ensure you get enough sleep
- Take time out to relax and unwind
- Avoid people who are infected
- Keep your hands and nails clean
- Keep your home well ventilated
If you do succumb to the lurgi, don’t be a hero. Stay in bed, drink lots of fluids, get lots of rest. This is the fastest way to recover, and no-one will really want to see you in your condition anyway.
If they help, take some cold and flu medicine or natural alternatives such as echinacea, elderberries, probiotics, shiitake mushrooms, or chicken soup!
Stay healthy.

Martin,
Health is one’s first wealth.
I’ve seen so many Asian people work their guts out to create wealth just to find that their health fails them as from mid-50′s to early 60′s.
Time, Energy (Health) & Money are the 3 powers we have in our life. Sometimes, they are inter-changeable, sometimes, not.

*snuffle* We are in “summer” here and it doesn’t make much difference we are all coming down with hayfever as per usual. Ha, if only we could utilise the allergy cure but we need a specific allergin to do it.
Sniveling and red eyes aren’t great for rapport unless you have the fortune to be speaking to someone with the same. Then you can compare treatments….next stop the homeopath.
