Simple Tips To Prevent Flu
By bernie BE
The swine flu outbreak has scared a lot of people these past few weeks. Many regularly watch television or tune in to the radio to get some updates regarding swine flu and learn how it started, when and where it first broke out, how this disease can infect us and what we can do to prevent it.

Lack of understanding has caused some to panic. Face masks are out of stock because we know that the swine flu virus can spread through the air. Some health agencies have also recommended vaccines as a means to avoid infection.
But do face masks really help? Do we need to be vaccinated against this disease?


When I first heard about the swine flu pandemic, I quickly did some research to find out how to prevent this disease. I found out that the flu vaccine is not affordable and not safe. I continued my research until I found Dr. Mercola’s article, “The Swine Flu Pandemic – Fact or Fiction?” I found it very helpful because it gave me some useful, natural and safe tips on how to avoid swine flu.

One of the most important things to do is to optimize your vitamin D levels. It is one of the best strategies to avoid disease. Dr. Mercola believes that vitamin d deficiency is the likely reason why we go down with the flu, not the flu virus itself.

The flu shot has been found to be ineffective and dangerous. During the swine flu outbreak in the 70s, many of those vaccinated suddenly suffered paralysis due to Guillain-Barré Syndrome.

There are many ways to safely boost your body’s natural defense

 

against diseases. Avoiding sugar will help enhance our immune system because sugar decreases its ability to function. Avoid eating processed food because most have hidden sugar.

Rest well to strengthen your body’s ability to fight the flu and other diseases. Stress can also affect your immune system so it will be useful to find stress-relieving methods like EFT.

Exercise is always a big help and is good for your health. Good exercise helps circulate your immune system’s components and increases the chances of finding infections before it spreads to your body.

Taking animal-based omega-3 fats will help you maintain good health and avoid damage to your immune response caused by trans fat and processed foods.
Proper hand washing is the simplest way of preventing communicable diseases, including the flu. Using a chemical-free soap is advisable rather than an antibacterial soap.

Regular consumption of garlic can help because garlic works like an antibiotic and helps fight bacteria, viruses and protozoa in your body. However, this may probably not work for people who are allergic to garlic.

If it is not an emergency, better stay at home rather than go to the hospital. Hospitals might be the breeding ground of infections.

These are Dr. Mercola’s simple tips to avoid swine flu, the regular flu and other diseases. I hope these tips will help lessen your worries. It’s not that difficult to prevent illness; all you need is to be more aware and do the necessary research.
Read more to have a healthy lifestyle. I recommend health articles by Dr. Mercola for other resources regarding health. You can also read my post on my healthy tips blog.
