Here's A Simple Way To Protect Against The Flu

  • Flu season is in full swing across North America but there is a simple step you can take that will go a long way to protecting you and your family from coming down with the bug.
  • University of Illinois at Chicago researchers have found that flu and cold viruses lose some of their severity and contagious effects when the humidity is over 40 percent.
  • The easiest way to boost moisture levels in the home is to add plants, which pull water from the air through the natural process of transpiration.
  • The larger the greenery, the better protection it can offer. Experts suggest ferns, palms, and ZZ plants work well.
