  1. HOW TO PREVENT SWINE FLU??? A few simple tips that may work

  2. As swine flu continues to spread, experts from the Centers for Disease Control to the World Health Organization to neighbourhood doctors are echoing the call for everyone to practice smart flu prevention techniques. Here are some ways to keep your body boosted and your immune system ready to fight infection.

  3. WASH YOUR HANDS Wash your hands often and wash well with antibacterial soap. Rub your hands together and work the lather through. Then rinse thoroughly with water. Repeat. You need to take at least half a minute to wash your hands properly.

  4. GET ENOUGH SLEEP Try to get 8 hours of good rest each night to keep your immune system in top flu- fighting shape.

  5. DRINK PLENTY OF WATER Drink at least 8 glasses of water every day. Water helps to flush out toxins and keep us hydrated throughout the day.

  6. BOOST YOUR IMMUNITY Keeping your body strong, nourished, and ready to fight infection is important in flu prevention. Fatty foods can slow your metabolism, make you feel sluggish, and compromise your immune system. So stick to whole grains, colourful vegetables, and vitamin rich fruits.

  7. BE PHYSICALLY ACTIVE Mild to moderate exercise—for example brisk walking for 30-40 minutes 3-4 times a week- supports the immune system by increasing circulation, oxygenating the body, purging toxins through sweat, and releasing tension and stress. So get moving!

  8. AVOID TOUCHING SURFACES Try not to touch surfaces and avoid handshakes as hands transmit germs to the mouth. You are better off not touching your face and mouth areas until you are sure that your hands are clean.

  9. AVOID CONTACT WITH SICK PEOPLE Flu virus is spread when particles dispersed into the air through a cough or sneeze reach someone else’s nose. So if you’re coughing or sneezing, cover your mouth (and then wash your hands), and if you have to be around someone who is sick, try to stay a few feet away from them and avoid physical contact.

  10. GET MEDICAL AID Swine flu symptoms are similar to regular flu. Cold, cough, body ache and fever are the symptoms of both. However, if the symptoms are aggravated then do not hesitate to seek medical help.
