Here are our top 10 tips to boost your immunity, stay healthy, and prevent H1N1 Swine Flu this flu season.
1. Optimize your vitamin D level. Adequate levels of vitamin D are essential for our immune systems to function optimally.
2. Get adequate sleep. This is an indispensable requirement for a strong immune system.
3. Get adequate exercise. This keeps you robust.
4. Take actions to lower your stress levels. Do breathing exercises, meditate, practice yoga, spend time doing something that makes you happy. Feeling spent, overwhelmed and or mentally run down has a causal relationship to your physical health. If you get too much on your hand, deligate and outsource your household chores. Get help!
5. Wash your hands frequently but not excessively. It decreases your likelihood of spreading a virus to your nose, mouth or other people. Be sure you don’t use antibacterial soap because of the risk of creating resistant bacteria. Rather use a simple alcohol free hand sanitizer.
6. Watch what you eat. Avoid sugar and processed foods as they decrease your immune function dramatically. Eat phytonutrient rich meals (lots of colorful salads and dark greens). Eat lots of garlic, it works as a broad spectrum antibiotic. Keep a supply of antiviral herbal supplements on hand. As opposed to antiviral drugs, antiviral herbs do not cause resistant strains because they are multifaceted and contain literally thousands of different medicinal compounds. Thus they are able to attack viruses with a full spectrum of synergistic substances. Andrographis, Olive leaf extract, Grapefruit seed extract and Elderberry extract all have antiviral properties. Use one or a combination of some of them as a prophylactic measure, for example, whenever you travel (airports) or enter a potentially compromised environment such as a large office, auditorium, stadium, theater etc.
7. Take a probiotic daily (look for one with 10-20 billion organisms). A strong immune system relies heavily on having a strong foundation in the gut.
8. Keep homeopathic Oscillococcinum on hand. Take it at the earliest sign of a cold or flu as early intervention is essential. If you are exposed to someone with the flu directly, you can take one dose twice a day for two days. You can also take one vial once a week throughout the winter, and two or three times a week during flu season, as a preventative measure.
9. Clean your home and office with an effective multi-purpose cleaner. There is is an entirely new class of extremely safe, non-toxic, ultra powerful antimicrobial disinfectants and chemical decontaminants that kills bacteria, viruses, spores, molds, and fungus with unprecedented efficacy (99.999%) of common household germs that cause colds, flu, and food poisoning, and other health risks.
10. Decontaminate the air in infected locations, rooms, ducts, and more. Steam clean your carpet, wash all inside of the windows, remove all molds around your house. Maintain a high levle of air quality in your home.
Choose a cleaning service provider with fully equipped to eradicates bacteria, viruses, spores, molds and fungus to 99.99999% and neutralizes toxic chemicals, while being totally biodegradable and safe enough for household use. It must offers top-to-bottom disinfection, decontamination, de-molding and mold prevention of commercial buildings and homes.

Scientists tell us that viruses can live on surfaces for hours, just waiting for a chance to be picked up on our hands and introduced to our noses, mouths and eyes as we go about our daily lives. A very effective, but cheap, surface disinfectant can be made with the old stand-by, household chlorine bleach. Mix 1/4 cup with 1 gallon of clean water and apply to hard surfaces. Leave wet for 10 minutes and then rinse.

Make Your Own Natural Disinfectants
ReplyDeleteStep 1
Vinegar is an excellent disinfectant. Undiluted distilled white vinegar (5% solution) - the kind you can buy in the supermarket - kills 99 percent of bacteria, 82 percent of mold, and 80 percent of germs (viruses). Just keep a spray bottled filled with vinegar in your kitchen, bathroom or anywhere you may need to kill germs, for a quick and easy way to disinfect surfaces. Don’t worry, your home will not smell like vinegar because the smell dissipates as the vinegar dries. However, you can add your favorite essential oil if desired.
Step 2
While vinegar is a very effective natural disinfectant on its own, some studies have shown that using undiluted vinegar followed by 3% hydrogen peroxide is more effective than either one alone. Keep the liquids in separate spray bottles and use them one at a time. It doesn't matter which one you use first.
Step 3
Borax has long been recognized for its disinfectant and deodorizing properties. Mix 1/2 cup Borax into 1 gallon hot water or undiluted vinegar and clean with this solution. You could also mix 2 tablespoons Borax, 1/4 cup lemon juice and 2 cups hot water together in a spray bottle. This is a great natural all-purpose cleaner and disinfectant.
Step 4
Tea Tree oil contains terpenes and other phytochemicals that are powerful antiseptics and fungus killers. Tea Tree oil can be found at health food stores, but should not be taken internally. Mixing a few drops of tea tree oil with some water in a spray bottle can clean mold in the bathroom, disinfect the floor after the dog has an accident, or can clean up after your child has been sick. Add a few drops to a spray bottle filled with water and a few tablespoons of baking soda and Borax for a good cleaner/ disinfectant for counters and sinks.
