HOW TO PREVENT THE FLU By Jane Kriese janes-store@telus.net
Can you prevent
flu? or is it just luck when you are virus free all year long! The flu is a highly contagious viral infection of
upper respiratory tract. Because this illness can be spread easily by coughing and sneezing, influenza epidemics are very common, especially in winter. More than 200 different viruses can cause colds and flu, and strains of these viruses are constantly changing, so vaccinations against influenza have been only partly successful in preventing out breaks of this disease.
The symptoms of influenza begin much like those of
common cold head ache, fatigue, and body aches. In many cases, a fever develops, and you may feel unbearably hot one moment and chilled and shaking
next. Most influenza sufferers have a dry throat and cough. Nausea and vomiting may occur as well. Often a person with
flu is so weak and uncomfortable that he or she may not feel like eating or doing anything else.
WHAT YOU CAN DO TO PREVENT THE FLU? Build you immune system and stay healthy by;
* Eliminating as much stress from your life as possible. * Drinking plenty of water Eating a healthy diet, high in protein, fresh fruit and vegetables. * Avoiding sugar, caffeine, & alcohol. * Taking a high quality liquid, herbal multi vitamin with minerals (To learn more about testing vitamins for quality and assimilation into

main ingredients. (There are many of these available,
