Hygiene Habits
- Wash your hands regularly with soap and water, as cold viruses can survive on hands for up to 24 hours.
- Avoid touching your face, especially your eyes, mouth, and nose, to prevent germ transmission.
Lifestyle Choices
- Exercise regularly, manage stress, and get enough sleep to support overall health.
- Eat a balanced diet with fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins, as refined carbs and sugars weaken immunity.
