Cold Season Ahead – How to Stay Protected

As the weather gets cooler, there are more than 200 different viruses known to cause the common cold. From a doorknob to the buttons on an elevator, every surface is covered with these viruses!

Highly infectious, colds can cause serious secondary infections, such as pneumonia, and often lead to bacterial infections of the middle ear.

The below items can help prevent and fight a cold at their earliest signs!

-Purell Hand Sanitizer:

Purell is an instant hand sanitizer made of ethyl alcohol which claims to kill "99.99%" of most common germs that may cause illness in as little as 15 seconds.

-Cold-EEZE:

Cold-EEZE reduces the duration and symptoms of the common cold including cough, stuffy nose, sore throat, sneezing, post-nasal drip and hoarseness. It actually shortens your cold to help you get well sooner!

My Thoughts: I received a sample of Cold-Eeze to try out and it arrived just in time because I was catching a cold from the kids. This is a unique form of homeopathic  medicine. As soon as you feel a cold coming on, just spray a few squirts around the inside of your mouth and you feel it working instantly. It relieves sore and scratchy throats and really does shorten a cold. For me the bug only lasted a few weeks, but my husband has had it over a week because he didn't want to give Cold-Eeze a try. It even takes pretty good, as far as medicine goes.

-Kleenex Small Pack:

Whether you’re tearing up or need to blow your nose, one of the handiest items you can always have on hand is a package of Kleenex! A small package of Kleenex Soft Pack White Tissues easy to reach when needed.

-USANA’s Booster C 600:

It is the perfect solution just for those times when you feel your immunity needs a little boost. What sets Booster C 600 apart from other immunity supplements on the market is its special blend of immunity-supporting ingredients.

My Thoughts: As a mom of four children who is also a restuarant owner, published young adult author, and blogger, its easy for me to let myself get run down. Four hours sleep is a good night for me and sometimes when I'm working on a book, I will completely forget to eat. When you live that kind of lifestyle, its always good to get a little boost for your immune system. USANA Booster C 600 is the perfect way for me to fight off germs before they start and not let my immune system get out of whack.  Its fast and easy to use. It can be added to almost any drink and you really can't even taste it.

-Tylenol:

The pure pain relief in TYLENOL works fast on your headache and won't irritate your stomach lining. Tylenol extra strength will nab that headache in no time!
