10 obvious ways to prevent swine flu

Fox News is running a “no, duh” photo essay of ways to avoid swine flu that is so obvious, it almost feels exploitative. Still, it’s definitely important to remember these basic health tenets that, swine flu or no swine flu, will help you avoid illness:

- Wash hands often for at least 20 seconds

- Cover your mouth when coughing or sneezing

- Avoid touching your face or eyes unless your hands have been washed

- Clean household and office surfaces often

- Eat a balanced diet and foods with vitamin C

- Stay home and contact your doctor if you are feeling ill

- Remind your children to maintain healthy habits

Simple, right? If you still feel compelled to see the photo essay click here.
