Promote Your Brand While Fighting the Flu

November 1, 2016

Want to help yourself, your clients and employees avoid the cold and flu this season? We do too — especially considering that 72% of the population experiences at least one cold every year, with adults averaging 2-4 cases (B&D Nutritional Ingredients). To help keep that from happening this time around, we’re providing some ways to stay healthy this cold and flu season.Credit-Card-Hand-Sanitizer-Direct-Print

  1. Get a flu shot: The best time to get a flu shot is as soon as it’s available, which is typically during September or October. It takes about 14 days for the vaccine to take effect, so the earlier you get it, the greater your chances of staying well. For information about types of vaccines, visit this WebMD page. This cold and flu map is quite helpful as well!
  2. Wash your hands often: When you think you’ve washed your hands enough times, wash them again. It’s a simple and extremely effective way to remove germs on a consistent basis. The CDC recommends washing your hands for 15-20 seconds each time — or to put it in more fun terms, sing “Happy Birthday” twice through and that should do it. Scrub the backs of your hands, between your fingers, and under your nails. Remember that it will pay off to be thorough.
  3. Choose a hand sanitizer that’s alcohol-based: For the times in between handwashing with soap and water, sanitizer with alcohol can kill cold and flu germs. Keep it in your purse or in your pocket so it’s available anytime — our vanilla-scented Credit Card Hand Sanitizer Spray are perfect for on-the-go situations.
  4. Keep your distance from those who are sick: Avoid things like shaking their hands or sharing items. On the flip side, if you’re the one sick, remember to stay home to keep others well. A CareerBuilder survey found that nearly 75% of employees go to work when sick — while it can be difficult to say no to the demands of work, it’s usually best to rest at home so you can return to full strength more quickly.
  5. Keep things clean around you: Sanitize your doorknobs, light switches, desk, and other items that are touched often. Especially if you work in the health care field, shower and wash your clothes often. While it may seem excessive at times, you can’t argue with fewer sick days when it works.
  6. Maintain a healthy lifestyle: Do what you should be doing every day regardless of cold and flu season: get adequate sleep, nourish your body with healthy foods, don’t smoke, and control any allergies you have to avoid inflammation that can more easily lead to a virus.
