Each year Fall brings us the changing colours of trees, pumpkin patch visits with our loved ones and afternoons spent in warm sweaters near the wood-stove with your favourite book.  Fall also however, brings us the notorious phenomenon known as “Flu Season”. Whether it be welcomed into your house from your child coming home with that sore throat from school or just from a simple day at the office, it almost inevitably finds us. Here are some tips and tricks below to help combat Flu Season so you and your family can spend more time in leaf piles and less stuck in bed.

1. You can combat Influenza head on by getting you and your family Flu shots. You can easily schedule an appointment at your local family doctor’s office or at most drugstores and pharmacy’s like London Drugs or Rexall. Flu shots are also usually covered by Medicare or most other health care insurances and are the safest way to protect yourself against potential viruses. 

3. Lead an active lifestyle. Fall gives us many different fun activities throughout the season ranging from corn mazes to haunted houses. Many of us partake in the seasonal tradition of pumpkin patch visits and hayrides but there are also some more overlooked autumnal activities such as crisp fall hikes to view the changing tree colours, apple picking, organized night ghost tours and many more just remember to bundle up.

All in all we hope you have an amazing rest of Fall! Let us know any of your tips and tricks to staying healthy during Flu Season including any of your favourite activities or your favourite fall recipes below in the comments!
