Why The Flu Isn't a Season

Why does it seem more illnesses occur between the months of October and April? It actually has little to do with temperature change, or an increase in germs, and has more to do with your lifestyle.

From Halloween we go straight into Thanksgiving – a holiday loaded with high carbohydrate and high sugar foods (pies anyone?) and perhaps a higher consumption of alcohol.
