With the recent circulation of the swine flu theres a danger of being infected by the virus.
Here are five tips to avoid it or help fight it off:
1. Wash your hands!
This is probably the most obvious solution to keep away the swine flu, yet its probably one of the most important. Keeping your hands sanitary is key because your hands touch many contaminated things throughout the day and with out even knowing it you probably touch your face and this can lead to infection! Wash with warm water and wash correctly! no 5 second wash is going to kill all the bacteria on your hands so wash for atleast 30 seconds.
2. Stay away from sick people.
Watch how close you get to people that aren't even sick! they could have the virus but the symptoms might not be there yet. And watch for people coughing or that look sick and stay away. Also try not to kiss or come in close contact with others.
3. Eat healthy.
To me eating healthy is the most important, because if your diet sucks your body wont be able to fight off the virus. Eat alot of nutrient rich food to super charge your white blood cells. Stay away from fast foods because studies have shown it slows down blood flow (making transfer of white blood cells less frequent)
4. Get vaccinated.
Getting vaccinated may not be number one on your priority list because of the ingredients that is in the shot. Post comments below on why or why not you are getting vaccinated.
5. Dont stress out!
Try not to worry to much, worrying puts your body in a state of stress making the virus easier to catch and harder to fight off. You may be skeptical about this one but trust me it helps. But still stay aware of the flu and don't forget about number 1!
