There’s nothing worse than that telltale tickle in your throat signifying the start of a cold or flu. Whether you are trying to fight off the latest winter bug or in full sick mode, we’ve put together some of our favourite tips to help you get through this flu season!

 Start with prevention. With these freezing cold temps, we recommend bundling up from head to toe. MEC’s Pom Pom Hat ($12) is the perfect combination of cute and cosy. It’ll keep your ears and head protected from the cold winds!

Even with all the preventative methods, sometimes you just can’t escape the flu. This selection of soothing, feel-good remedies will help take the edge off those aches and pains.  

 Sip on a cup of the Organic Cold 911 by DAVIDsTEA. This tea will help sooth your cold symptoms while keeping you relaxed to the max!

While everything above will certainly help, the most important part of keeping sickness at bay is making sure you stay hydrated. Flow Water’s naturally alkaline spring water will quench your thirst while filling you with the electrolytes and essential minerals you need to make it through the winter.
