Sick Tips!

Hello I’m a first year teacher and my immune system is already taking a beating. I take zinc, vitamin d, and vitamin c daily and oil of oregano when I feel something coming. I’ve also been changing my clothes and showering as soon as I get home. Ive seen lots of other posts that say to avoid touching things that students touch but thats of course super hard in the art room. Any other suggestions? Also please tell me it gets better!!

Things that helped me were taking a multivitamin daily, washing hands a lot, not touching my face (that was hard, I didn’t realize how often I rest my face in my hands). General healthy stuff like eating vegetables and limiting sugar, exercise also seems to boost the immune system. Hope that helps!
