Winter – tips for staying well
Wash hand
Winter illnesses are easily spread by hands. Wash both sides of your hands and between your fingers for at least 20 seconds, using soap and water, and dry your hands with a paper towel or clean dry towel.
Eat healthy food
This helps to support your immune system. Include fresh vegetables with some lean protein and keep your sugar and salt intake low.
Exercise daily
A 30-minute walk outside gives you some fresh air and vitamin D and helps your body stay strong
Get fresh air in your home
Open windows during the day (even for a short time) and then close them before the sun goes down or before you turn on the heating. A well-aired home helps keep it dry and keeps your family well.
Keep your home warm
The World Health Organization recommends keeping your home heated to 18ºC, but if you have young children, elderly family members or people who are unwell in your home you may need to keep your house warmer.
