Precautions to keep swine flu at bay
*
The deadly Swine Flu has reached the Indian shores following the global
outbreak and now, claimed one life. However, Swine Flu is certainly one of
those diseased where an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Here
are ten tips for you to keep away from the pandemic.
*
1. Wash your hands frequently
*
Use the antibacterial soaps to cleanse your hands. Wash them often, at least
15 seconds and rinse with running water.
*
2. Get enough sleep
*
Try to get 8 hours of good sleep every night to keep your immune system in
top flu-fighting shape.
*
3. Drink sufficient water
*
Drink 8 to10 glasses of water each day to flush toxins from your system and
maintain good moisture and mucous production in your sinuses.
*
4. Boost your immune system
*
Keeping your body strong, nourished, and ready to fight infection is
important in flu prevention. So stick with whole grains, colorful
vegetables, and vitamin-rich fruits.
*
5. Keep informed
*
The government is taking necessary steps to prevent the pandemic and
periodically release guidelines to keep the pandemic away. Please make sure
to keep up to date on the information and act in a calm manner.
*
6. Avoid alcohol
*
Apart from being a mood depressant, alcohol is an immune suppressant that
can actually decrease your resistance to viral infections like swine flu. So
stay away from alcoholic drinks so that your immune system may be strong.
*
7. Be physically active
*
Moderate exercise can support the immune system by increasing circulation
and oxygenating the body. For example brisk walking for 30-40 minutes 3-4
times a week will significantly perk up your immunity.
*
8. Keep away from sick people
*
Flu virus spreads when particles dispersed into the air through a cough or
sneeze reach someone else’s nose. So if you have to be around someone who
is sick, try to stay a few feet away from them and especially, avoid
physical contact.
*
9. Know when to get help
*
Consult your doctor if you have a cough and fever and follow their
instructions, including taking medicine as prescribed.
*
10. Avoid crowded areas
*
Try to avoid unnecessary trips outside.
