HOW TO AVOID THE FLU.
 |
First
and most important: wash your hands
Use soap and water. To
insure you have washed your hands completely, get
a lather going with soap, while you sing, Mary had
a little lamb. This should take about
15 seconds, which is about the same time needed to
wash your hands thoroughly. If you can't
sing...hum.
|
 |
Try to
stay in good general health, and eat nutritious
food.
Have an assortment of fruits, vegetables, grains,
nuts, and fish.
Immune boosting herbs, and supplements. |
 |
Get
plenty of sleep, be physically active, manage your
stress. Sleep like a baby and wake up
refreshed in the morning.
|
 |
Drink
plenty of fluids. Not alcohol, but fluids
which help to hydrate the body. |
 |
Try not
to touch surfaces that may be contaminated with
the flu virus. Avoid close contact with
people who are sick.
Tending to the sick is going to be the hardest, as
this will be where the contamination starts.
Be aware of everything you tough, and wash
everything in hot soapy water. Stay home from
work, schools, churches, meetings, gatherings of
any sorts, to help stop the spreading of the flu. |
Flu Remedies can be used in many forms
such as: Teapills, Herbal Teas, Liquids to Gargle, Advanced
Formulas with Herbs, Vitamins, and Antioxidants, or even in
Homeopathic form. The method you choose to use depends
on you and the supplements you are wanting to use.
Are you using the herbs as a preventive, or has the flu or
cold already grabbed hold in the body? Or are
you one of the unlucky people who get a cold then comes
right back again, just when you think it is over.
