With the current swine flu scare we are getting barraged by expert medical opinion concerning the best way not to get the flu. As with any flu the object is to stay clear of people who have flu like symptoms and avoid large crowds in a confined area. Pretty simple stuff but what other steps can we take.
Wash your hands extensively throughout the day whenever your able to do so and I mean scrub your hands thoroughly. Use a anti-bacterial soap or lotion and hand sanitizers in addition to regular hand washings. Avoid shaking hands if at all possible without offending someone terribly. If you must shake someone’s hand use the hand sanitizer at a discrete time. Do Not touch your face with your hands, not anywhere on your face. Avoid touching public handles, door knobs or anything a person has public access to. Carry a handkerchief with you at all times to sneeze into and a small packet of tissues and always have a bottle of hand sanitizer with you.
Hospitals are full of sick people only go to a hospital or clinic if it is a dire emergency. Don’t share food, drinking glasses, bottles, utensils, lipstick, chap stick or any mouth to mouth contact. Be careful who you kiss; sorry.
Supplement with natural supplements to get your immune system strong and ready to fight off any infection.
Your body is able to protect you from the flu and cold if you give it the power to do so. Get plenty of sleep, nap if you can, drink lots of clean water, eat good nutritious food and exercise regularly and you’ll be flu free, healthy too.
