7 Health Hacks to Keep Seasonal Flu Away

Annual Flu Shot

Get your yearly flu vaccine. It`s your best defence, updated each season for the most common flu viruses, significantly lowering your infection risk.

Hand Hygiene Hero

Wash hands often with soap and water for 20 seconds, or use alcohol-based sanitiser. This kills viruses you pick up from surfaces or people.

Keep Your Distance

Avoid close contact with sick individuals. Flu spreads through droplets from coughs, sneezes, or talking, so space is a simple, effective barrier.

Don`t Touch Your Face

Resist touching your eyes, nose, and mouth. These are primary entry points for flu viruses that may be on your hands.

Boost Your Immunity

Eat a balanced diet, get enough sleep (7-9 hours), and exercise regularly. A strong immune system is better equipped to fight off infections.

Clean Contact Surfaces

Regularly disinfect frequently touched objects like doorknobs, phones, and keyboards. Flu viruses can linger on surfaces for hours.

Cough & Sneeze Smarts

Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue (then discard it) or your elbow when you cough or sneeze. This prevents spreading germs to others.
