<p style="margin-bottom: 10px;">‘Tis the season for colds, sinus infections, the flu, and many other unpleasant illnesses. If you’re unlucky enough to catch a bug, you could end up feeling miserable, missing work, having to skip plans with family and friends, or even heading to the hospital. Want to stay healthy this winter? In addition to getting plenty of rest, try these tips from <em>Prevention</em> magazine.<sup style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 0; ">1</sup></p>
<blockquote>
<p style="margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 3px;"><strong>Get your flu shot:</strong> A flu vaccine can reduce your risk of getting the flu by 50-60% and decrease the severity of the flu if you end up getting sick. </p>
<p style="margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 3px;"><strong>Pack your own pens:</strong> Touching public objects like pens can transfer cold and flu germs via hand-to-hand contact. Keep a pen or two in your purse or briefcase so you don’t have to use someone else’s pen. </p>
<p style="margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 3px;"><strong>Use hand sanitizer:</strong> A study by Children’s Hospital in Boston found that those who used hand sanitizer had 59% fewer cases of stomach bugs than those who didn’t. </p>
<p style="margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 3px;"><strong>Start socializing:</strong> Friendships counteract the harmful effects of stress hormones. Carnegie Mellon researchers found that people with larger social networks produced more flu-fighting antibodies when given the flu vaccine. </p>
<p style="margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 3px;"><strong>Take a multi-vitamin:</strong> Look for one with 100% of the recommended daily values of vitamins A, B6, B12, C, and D and the minerals chromium, copper, folic acid, selenium, calcium, and zinc. </p>
<p style="margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 3px;"><strong>Keep moving: </strong>While hitting the gym brings many germ-fighting benefits, UCLA researchers found that even slower forms of exercise like tai chi decrease the release of catecholamine, a neurotransmitter that dampens the immune system. </p>
<p style="margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 3px;"><strong>Ask for a prescription:</strong> If you feel the flu coming on, ask your doctor for an antiviral medication such as Tamiflu or Relenza. Both are 60-90% effective if taken within 48 hours of exposure. </p>
<p style="margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 3px;"><strong>Wash your hands – a lot:</strong> Researchers from the Naval Health Research Center in San Diego saw a 45% decrease in respiratory illness among 45,000 recruits who were instructed to wash their hands with soap at least 5 times a day.</p>
</blockquote>
<p style="margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 10px;">If you have questions about disease prevention or need treatment for an illness, be sure to talk to your doctor.</p>

<p style="margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 10px;">Did you know that in addition to food donations, your local food pantry needs soap, too? By providing items like soap and toothpaste, food pantries help those in need maintain good hygiene and health.
</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 10px;">You can donate soap to the <a href="
http://www.secondharvestmadison.org/">Second Harvest Food Bank of Southern Wisconsin</a> through our "Bars From the Bar" campaign. Gather up the extra bars of soap in your bathroom cupboard or buy an extra pack at the store. Then drop off your soap at the State Bar Center in Madison now through Friday, December 9. You’ll be helping us meet our goal of collecting 1,000 bars of soap to donate to Second Harvest! </p><p style="margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 10px;">Can’t make it to the State Bar Center by December 9? Consider donating soap and other non-food items directly to your community’s food pantry. </p>
