H1N1 Prevention Tips
Go to: Previous Article Next Article
The H1N1 epidemic is causing people to be more anxious about the state of their health. However, you'll be sure not to catch swine flu this season if you do just three things.
Firstly, keep washing your hands regularly, especially before you eat. Do this whether you are at home or out in a restaurant. Also, when you get back home from any public place, you should wash your hands before you start doing anything else.
If, for any reason, you can't wash your hands, be careful to avoid touching your face, and especially your mouth, with them. This will go a long way in preventing the spread of disease. When soap and water are not available, hand sanitizing products can be used. But remember to use these only occasionally. When used too often they can destroy the good bacteria we need to help keep germs at bay.
Secondly, make sure you eat healthily, choosing fruits and vegetables that are high in antioxidants such as blueberries and spinach.
Take a multivitamin a day and be sure to drink plenty of water, too. Keep an eye on how much vitamin C you're getting, it's very important for maintaining your immune system in good working order. Also, keep up the amount of good bacteria you have in your system by eating probiotic yogurts. The most effective arm in the fight against disease is a well balanced diet.
The third thing you should do is get yourself inoculated against swine flu.
Whether you're in a high risk category or not, you can now be inoculated against HN1 at most local clinics and doctors' surgeries. The government is urging us all to do this, as the flu shots have been scientifically proved to be completely safe.
By taking these simple precautions you'll protect yourself from catching swine flu this season. All you need to do is wash your hands, eat healthy and get yourself the flu shot.
