Are You Ready to Fight the Flu?

It's that time of year again: flu season. If you haven't gotten a flu shot already, remember the earlier you can get it, the safer you'll be.

This year's flu shot will protect against three strains of the flu including H1N1. Make sure to talk to your doctor about what's right for you and your family. Then remember these tips during flu season:

• Drink plenty of water.
• Eat a healthy diet and take a Vitamin C supplement.
• Sneeze and cough into tissues or your shirt sleeve — not your hands.
• Avoid touching your nose, mouth and eyes.
• Always keep your hands washed and sanitized.
• If you are sick, stay home and limit direct contact with others.
