Take Care of Your Health This Winter

So have you been feeling not so well lately? Maybe you feel like your getting one to many headaches? Or that you have been feeling nauseated throughout the day? You may be coming down with the Norwalk Virus. The Norwalk virus is a stomach virus that lasts for one to three days. The symptoms include:

· Stomach cramps
· Headache
· Muscle aches and pains
· A low grade fever
· Nausea and Vomiting
· Diarrhea

It is easily spread in schools, residential homes, hospitals, and work places. Good steps to take from getting this virus are:

· Wash your hands throughout the day
· Get enough sleep so your immune system wont weaken
· Drink green tea
· Eat fruits and vegetables they are packed with immune boosting cartenoids
· Avoid germs, such as hand contact with people who are sick and touching tabletops, counters, etc.

Everyone else may know it as the stomach bug but if not treated properly it could become dangerous. Please take the proper precautions so that we can all remain healthy.
