Flu season is upon us, but that isn’t even the worst thing you have to fear. Experts have also been warning people about the tridemic this year, which is the result of an increase in RSV cases, flu cases, and the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. While these can’t be 100% avoided, there are ways to prepare for a potential infection this winter. First of all, it’s important to prepare our bodies by focusing on a healthy immune system. To prepare your immune system, the CDC recommends things like maintaining a balanced diet, exercising, taking vitamins, lowering your alcohol consumption, and getting a good night’s sleep every night. These steps can help us have healthier immunity, but there’s always the chance you’ll still catch a cold or flu. When this happens, it’s important to have your pantry and refrigerator stocked with helpful immune-boosting foods.
