Stop smoking, eat better, get more sleep, get outside and keep your vitamin D levels up to name a few. This can help prevent catching a bug in the first place and if you do, the recovery will usually be faster and the symptoms less severe.
Medical experts have been offering that advice for decades to live a longer and healthier life. If that wasn’t enough incentive before COVID, why should experts think anyone will pay attention to that advice now?
