Here is the link to a brief Q & A that I recently did for VCU News.By no means was this a comprehensive review on the matter. I am frequently asked about measures to decrease the risk of getting ' a cold' or 'the flu.' Much of it come down to simple common sense. Get enough rest, alcohol in moderation, wash your hands and, for many, quit smoking! Last, an influenza vaccine is also a good idea to limit the risk of influenza.
Simple, common sense measures that go a long way to preventing respiratory viral infections.
