UChic Approved: Staying Healthy During Winter

The arrival of the winter means the heralding of snow, ice-skating and adorable winter wear, but those long cold months can also bring some unwelcome visitors. February snow storms can cause runny noses, sore throats, coughs and more.

Girls on the go have no time for sick days, use these five products to combat germs and be your healthiest self until spring arrives!

Airborne: A 2nd grade school teacher invented this miracle immune system booster. If it can protect her against a battalion of kiddie diseases, you know it will work against whatever gross flu your roommate has. Airborne comes in 3 forms, Effervescent tablets, Gummies and Pixie stick-like powder form, and a whole slew of surprisingly tasty favors. If you feel yourself starting to get sick or just need an immunity boost after a long week, it’s a great preemptive strike against all the nasty viruses.

Purell: When you can’t wash your hands, Purell! Bacteria lives on just about every surface you encounter on campus, so toss a bottle in your purse so they only thing you’re sharing with your Intro to Sociology crush is his notes, not his cold.

Multi-Vitamins: Let’s face it; the average college student’s diet isn’t chock-full of the essential vitamins and nutrients. Take a Multivitamin like Centrum One a Day, and get one powerful punch of everything you need to stay healthy even if you eat Dominoes 3 times a week.

Green Tea: If you need a caffeine fix, swap your coffee for green tea. It may not be as strong as your triple caramel macchiato but it will boost your immune system and metabolism while still giving you some of the caffeine you need to get through your 9 a.m. class.

H2O: Water! It’s the key to life. Blustery winter months totally dehydrate you; to keep your skin and hair hydrated keep chugging water with meals instead of soda or juice. Not only will it help the appearance of your skin and help flush out your system – but it’s totally free.
