How I’m Staying Healthy This Cold and Flu Season!

It’s been one week since my son started pre-K and he’s already bringing viruses home. This is the time of year when my children tend to get sick a lot, which in turn means that I also get sick. Since I’ve been testing out Member’s Mark 4X Probiotic, I thought I’d share how I’ve been feeling since I started taking the probiotics and what tips I recommend for staying healthy this season.

Unless I’ve consumed too much dairy, I don’t typically suffer from digestive issues. Since I started taking the probiotics, I haven’t experienced any subsequent issues.  One pill a day is all that is needed and I like the fact that they’re easy to swallow (I have difficulty swallowing large pills).  Each pill is individually wrapped and labeled with the day which makes it easy to remember if I’ve taken my probiotics. They don’t have a taste which is nice (some pills have an unpleasant taste).  Since cold and flu season is just beginning, I’m planning on continuing the probiotics as part of my regimen for staying healthy this season.

Member’s Mark 4X Probiotic includes 4 strains of natural bacteria designed to support and maintain a healthy digestive system and promote gastrointestinal health and digestive system balance.  You can purchase a 3 month supply at Sam’s Club for less than $30.

So what else do we do to stay healthy?

1. We wash our hands. Often.

2. My husband and I get flu shots. Every single year.

3. All four of us take vitamins.

4. We stay active.

5. We avoid crowds as much as possible during this time.

6. We eat lots of fruits and veggies

7. We aim to get enough sleep.
