The swine flu sweeping the
world has people everywhere on edge. Most countries have not had a case
yet, but there is the constant expectation that it will appear at any
time. Here are some preventive measures, some precautions that can be
taken in the face of the possible arrival of this disease.
The most effective ways of protecting yourself from swine flu threat
are to keep your immune system as strong as possible, and to make
common sense your best defense. Their are many inexpensive natural
substances that are known to boost immunity and efficiency in the body.
The extracts of black currant and black elderberry have traditionally
been known as swine flu preventers. These help the body foil the swine
flu virus' ability to attach to the body.
Drinking and gargling green tea is an effective method in the fight to
prevent swine flu. There was a study three years ago in which residents
at a nursing home were asked to gargle green tea for three months. It
was found that use of green tea helped people use the catechin and ECGC
in green tea to boost their immune systems.
The regular multi-vitamin that we all take is a great way to boost the
body's immune efficiency. Taking high doses of multivitamins three
times a day helps
you with all-round fitness to fight swine flu with.
If it seems like swine flu in your region is just around the corner,
try not to panic; this kind of stress and anxiety can compromise your
immune system. Worrying a lot never helps a problem; you might as well
give up worrying and get on with living well. Never take drugs like
Tamiflu prevent swine flu, unless your doctor says so. Sweet foods are
often used for their comforting qualities. A study in 1973 became
iconic for showing that sugar and carbohydrate consumption could very
obviously lower the number of white blood cells in the body. Help your
immune system by making your sleep patterns regular and normal.
Sleeping times should be nocturnal, when darkness is assured. This is
necessary for adequate melatonin production in the brain, that induces
sleep. Vitamin D. has been found to be of great relevance to the good
immune system health. Everyone should find a way to get a reasonable
amount of exposure to the sun everyday. A few minutes early in the
morning and in the evening every day are an excellent idea.
These swine flu preventive measures should keep you in good fighting
fit form in readiness for anything.
