Staying healthy and protecting yourself from germs is essential, especially during cold and flu season. Simple practices like frequent handwashing, using hand sanitizer, and avoiding close contact with sick individuals can significantly reduce your risk of illness. Additionally, maintaining a strong immune system through a balanced diet, regular exercise, and adequate sleep can help your body fend off infections more effectively. Remember, small actions can make a big difference in keeping germs at bay.

Did you know that eating a healthy diet is crucial for maintaining strong bones? Nutrients like calcium, vitamin D, and magnesium play vital roles in bone health, helping to prevent conditions such as osteoporosis and fractures. Incorporating a variety of fruits, vegetables, dairy products, and whole grains into your meals can significantly contribute to your bone strength and overall well-being. Healthy Schools Oklahoma has a few lessons you can watch together to get the conversation started! Visit their YouTube page here: January Health Lessons
