And hand-washing, adequate rest, etc:.. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-stay-healthy-in-cold-season#post-2349595 Mon, 09 Nov 2015 16:32:31 +0000 BeachMama 2349595@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I need to be more on-the-ball with washing hands after school. I often get wrapped up in everything else and forget. I think I'll also start the neti-pot every night. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-stay-healthy-in-cold-season#post-2349568 Mon, 09 Nov 2015 16:18:56 +0000 catlady 2349568@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sleep seems to be what helps my immune system the most. I try not to get too stressed or overtired (difficult with a toddler!). I also take a multi-vitamin and try to keep my and LO's hands as clean as possible. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-stay-healthy-in-cold-season#post-2349560 Mon, 09 Nov 2015 16:14:16 +0000 brady80 2349560@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The moment we walk in the door from daycare we wash hands. My LO also gets a bath every night, we only wash her hair every few days. I do think this helps, but maybe it just makes me feel better about not bringing so many germs in! This is more a tip when I start to get sick- I make a tea of ginger, honey and lemon. Try to drink three cups a day at the first onset of a cold. I swear it nips it in the bud and definitely shortens any illness. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-stay-healthy-in-cold-season#post-2349492 Mon, 09 Nov 2015 15:41:09 +0000 fancyfunction 2349492@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wish I knew! I just got over a cold last week and am getting another now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-stay-healthy-in-cold-season#post-2349490 Mon, 09 Nov 2015 15:39:30 +0000 Greentea 2349490@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are obsessive about handwashing. We try to play outside vs. in. Lots of greens, fruits and veggies, garlic, homemade soup! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-stay-healthy-in-cold-season#post-2349459 Mon, 09 Nov 2015 15:27:28 +0000 gingerbebe 2349459@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hand washing, multivitamin, I chew on Vitamin C tablets, hardcore dose on echinacea and zinc when I start to feel symptoms, neti pot every night, and put hot soup (preferably spicy) using good bone broth on the menu rotation regularly when it starts to get cold. I also like to eat more dark greens. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-stay-healthy-in-cold-season#post-2349429 Mon, 09 Nov 2015 15:19:11 +0000 MrsSRS 2349429@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Vitamin D! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-stay-healthy-in-cold-season#post-2348900 Mon, 09 Nov 2015 10:49:11 +0000 Cherrybee 2348900@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't. I'm always sick.

Every time DD brings a cold home from pre-school, I am sure to get it the next week. I work in health care so it's really hard for me to be sick or to call in sick. I try to wash my hands a lot and stay hydrated. Other than that, how do you stay healthy?? </p>
