Flu Viruses - How We Catch Them and Fight Them Off

[kind2creatures]

Good information on catching the flu, viruses, sneezes and keeping our immune systems strong to avoid influenza...

Flu and flu-like illnesses are caused by viruses that can produce millions of copies within your cells.

As long as your immune system can stay one step ahead of the virus, you�ll feel better again quickly� and in some cases may not even know you were �sick�.

Strategies that support your immune system health will help you to ward off all types of viruses, whereas a flu vaccine will only partially protect you from the 3-4 influenza viruses it contains.

Healthy eating, exercise, sleep, stress and vitamin D levels are all factors that should be addressed to keep you well this flu season.

I haven't gotten the flu virus is decades due to one simple thing - frequent hand washing. The virus enters through the eyes and mouth via your hands - rubbing eyes or lips, handling food, etc. Washing hands thoroughly for 20 seconds or more kills the flu virus. Always wash hands thoroughly before eating, avoid fast-food places where a food preparer may have the virus and not even know it. Avoid rubbing eyes or lips. Always wash your hands after touching doorknobs, keyboards, or objects others have touched --even pieces of paper.

Same here Ajax, and I agree that the hand washing is key in prevention. I use the wipes in supermarkets for the carts whenever they're available. I wash my hands immediately when I get home from being out in public around people. I try very hard not to touch my face with my hands, until they've been thoroughly cleaned.

I also started using vitamin D3 several years ago, and I think that's helped. I actually try to hold my breath or keep my mouth closed, when I pass someone who's obviously sick, sneezing or coughing, etc.

Agree totally but as an extra backup I keep colloidal silver and hydrogen peroxide handy
