Flu Virus Precautions

Flu Virus Precautions

With the current concern about the combination flu -
human flu virus, swine flu virus and bird flu virus,
now is the time to address your health, even before
you get sick.

Your immune system needs supported.

Keep your immune system healthy. Stop the things that
pollute your system such as smoking, drug use and being
in poluted areas that will polute your body with poisons
and toxins.

Secondly, eat the best, most nutritious foods you can. You
cannot build a healthy body and immune system on junk food,
white sugar and white flour products. Be sure to choose plenty
of fresh fruits and vegetables daily for many of the vitamins and
minerals you need to stay healthy.

I like to have some homeopathics on hand, to start at the first
sign of flu. This one supports the liver as well.

Stress And The Body Mind Connection

It is amazing how the body mind connection works. Many
people don't think much about it, but what goes on around
us can be stressful, as well as our own thoughts. Your body
mind reacts to all of this.

Dealing with stress and our immunity is covered in the guide
I have onsite "Healthy Living: Bolster Your Immune System,
Slow Down Aging, And Even Heighten Your Libido"

Prolonged stress causes a great deal of health problems, not
only physically but also mentally.

This was an interesting article I found online about stress
and how it affects the immune system.

"UCLA scientists found that the stress hormone cortisol
suppresses immune cells' ability to activate their telomerase.
This may explain why the cells of persons under chronic stress
have shorter telomeres. The study reveals how stress makes
people more susceptible to illness".
