Flu Flu Go Away

How To Avoid The Flu

Everyone is talking about the flu this winter.

Everywhere I go, people are coughing and sneezing.

The last time I was in the food store, a lady picked up a box of cupcakes, then sneezed without covering her mouth. Those germs went everywhere! She smiled at the lady next to her, put the cupcakes down and they walked off. Even if she didn’t have the flu, she could be carrying the germs. 

Flu Symptoms from the Mayo Clinic website: 

  • Fever over 100.4 F (38 C)
  • Aching muscles, especially in your back, arms and legs
  • Chills and sweats
  • Headache
  • Dry, persistent cough
  • Fatigue and weakness
  • Nasal congestion
  • Sore throat

So, what can you do to avoid the flu, colds and other winter illnesses? 

  • Wash your hands.
  • If possible, stay away from people who are sick.
  • Eat healthy.
  • Drink lots of water and other healthy drinks.
  • Exercise.
  • Take your vitamins.
  • Sleep 7-8 hours every night.
  • Keep your immune system strong.
  • Watch the video for details.

More Tips for a Healthy Brain

Dr. Bruce Daggy, nutritionist, explains how our brains decline, starting at the age of 20. But, it’s not the loss of brain cells, it’s the loss of connections between the neurons that causes the decline.

Recommendations from Dr. Daggy:

Good nutrition, including fish for the omega 3’s, fruits and vegetables for antioxidants and healthy beverages.

Supplementation, because it’s hard to get all the nutrition we need from the food we eat. Dr. Daggy recommends MindWorks

Play brain games using a program like CogniFit that determine your current status and track your progress.

Set an alarm clock for an hour before bedtime. Use that hour to slow down so you can get a good night’s sleep.

Never Leave the Playground

Stephen Jepson | Never Leave the Playground | How to stay young in mind and body #video

Stephen Jepson is 71 years young. He’s on the go all day long. It’s what keeps his body and mind in great shape.

Stephen is an inventor, a retired college arts professor and a ceramic artist. But today, his focus is balance. As people age, they begin to lose their ability to balance. Stephen believes the activities he spends his day doing, has helped him keep his balance. It has also kept his mind sharp.

Every time I watch this video I see something new. The last time, I noticed he has 2 different colored shoe laces! Isn’t that just like a kid?



Can you do what Stephen Jepson does?

No matter what your age, it’s never too late to start. Begin with something simple and gradually increase repetitions and difficulty. If you think it’s work, you probably won’t keep doing it. Take a lesson from Stephen. He’s having fun. He’s like a kid, playing in the playground.

What are you doing to keep moving and learning?
