This temperature change, which can also be achieved by hot/cold showering, strengthens the immune system. Another tip to prevent the flu is not to stay in rooms that are too stuffy and heated with heated air.

Increased hand hygiene and the increased drinking of hot ginger tea are other good tips to avoid influenza in winter.
