"Are you getting ready to go on a vacation or a business trip but want to ensure that you don't get sick? I'm here to help. I'm Isabelle Simon, your personal and workplace wellness consultant, and today we're going to learn some simple things to help avoiding getting sick when you travel. First thing first, make sure you wash your hands very often, more often than when you are in the office or at home because you're going to be in a lot of different places and people, kids maybe coughing on things and door handles and that type of thing, so the more often you wash your hands, the better off you'll be. Number two, stay hydrated, especially when we fly in an airplane, we tend to be very much dehydrated so definitely increase your intake of water. Number three, you will want to eat more fruits and vegetables because they are packed with antioxidants. Antioxidants help protect the cells and help keep the bugs away if you will. One thing that I personally use when I travel is something called Best Defense. It is packed with echinacea, zinc and vitamin C and they all have proven qualities to boost your immune system. And all you do, you take a tablet and you mix it with some water. But also those come in terms of, in forms of teas and you can drink those as well. So more fruits, more vegetables, echinacea, zinc and vitamin C and more water will keep the bugs away and you will stay healthy while you travel. I'm Isabelle Simon, enjoy your traveling."
