Get Your Body Into FLU Fighting Shape
By: Richard Bleuze
Influenza (flu) is no minor illness. Over 250,000 people a year land in the hospital because of it. As many as 40,000 of them die.
If you're a senior, or have a serious heart or lung condition, you're at the greatest risk for coming down with the flu. That's because your immune system might not be strong enough to fend off the viral infection. However, you can get your body into flu fighting shape by pumping up your immune system with a few of the tips given below.
Tip #1 - exercise for health: A healthy lifestyle is one of the simplest ways to protect yourself from the flu. Exercise and eat a balance diet and you'll increase your immune system.
Tip #2 - use selenium supplements: A shortage of selenium could weaken your immune system. Selenium can also be found in meats, wheat, rice and other grains.
Tip #3 - feel a "cold" coming on: Then take the herb echinacea which can lessen the severity of your "cold" symptoms.
Tip #4 - wash your hands with SOAP: It's the actual motion of washing your hans that gets rid of most bacteria - DON'T BUY SPECIAL ANTIBACTERIAL SOAP
Tip # 5 - don't live in a damp home: Your lungs will be affected. Besides, mold and mildew may trigger inflammation in your respiratory system, leaving you more vulnerable to colds. Thus, keep your home cleaned!
Tip # 6 - enjoy a glass of tea: Drink a cool glass of iced tea on hot summer days
Finally, get a flu shot yearly, especially if your over 50. Try to get vaccinated between mid October and mid November, although you can do it anytime from September through March.
By taking a few extra precautions , you can protect yourself during the flu season!
