People are concerned about their health these days because of the H1N1 epidemic. But you won't catch the swine flu virus if you bear three things in mind.
You can start by making sure you wash your hands frequently. This is very important before you eat, whether you're at home or elsewhere. And always wash your hands as soon as you get back home from any public place.
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.
Also, take a daily multivitamin supplement and drink lots of water. Be sure you're getting enough vitamin C as this is essential for the upkeep of your immune system. Eating probiotic yogurts will also help, as they will give your body the good bacteria it requires. A well balanced diet will be one of your best weapons against disease.
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.
These three precautions are all you need to take to avoid catching swine flu this season. Don't forget - wash your hands, eat healthy food and have the injection.
