According tot he Health and Family section of the Philippine star, we can help our kids naturally fight the flu through good hygiene and by doing the following tips. But before going through that, a friend is checking out Outer Banks homes for an ideal summer location to enjoy the sun. I can understand because the winter in her country naturally runs a long time and they need the sun this time to also help them get strong and healthy to fight off the flu scare.

Now for the tips:
1. Orient the kids on what is flu and how it is transmitted and what are the manifestations of the illness.

2. Teach the kids on the proper way of handwashing and they should do it frequently. (Handscrubbing with anti-back soaps. Frequent and proper handwashing with soap especially anti-bac soaps. Safeguard is one of the best choice. Parents can teach them the fun way by letting them sing happy birthday song twice for the duration of proper handwashing.

3. Remind the kids to observe coughing and sneezing etiquette.

4. Make our surroundings clean so that it won’t spread inside the home especially the kitchen.

5. Ensure the child’s health by strengthening their immune system by feeding them on fruits and vegetables.

6. Let them sleep the required hours of sleeping.

7. And exercise — let them walk, run and play is also a great plus to eating the right food and exact hours of sleeping.
