With flu season in full swing and a number of co-workers in the building getting sick for weeks with this nasty flu, we had to get Dr. Priyanka Wali back in for our ELI 5 (Explain Like I’m Five) segment to figure out exactly how to avoid falling ill.

Dr. Wali stresses some of the basics that we have already heard a thousand times: stay home if you’re sick, wash your hands, etc., but she also had some really interesting things to say about your vitamin D levels, as well as other helpful tips that will hopefully prevent you from catching the flu bug this season.

Explain Like I’m Five is presented by the Commonwealth Club, the nation’s oldest and largest public affairs forum, intent on finding truth and turning it loose in the world.
