Top 10 Best Ways to Prevent H1N1 Swine Flu

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.

Markham Cleaning Company President Appointed to International Board of Directors

Amanda Collucci, Founder and CEO of Markham based Clean4Me Inc., has been appointed to the Board of Directors for the Association of Residential Cleaning Services International (ARCSI).

The Association of Residential Cleaning Services International (ARCSI) is the ONLY non-profit member owned organization dedicated to advancing the home cleaning industry.

Professional house cleaning is one of the fastest growing service businesses, not just in the US, but around the world. ARCSI provides a community for those involved in the industry that are serious about being professional, and serious about succeeding to come together, share, learn, and grow!

Headquartered in Markham, Ontario, Amanda Collucci founded Clean4Me merely 3 years ago with outstanding business results growing from zero to billing over $36,000 per month within 36 months.

Coming together as an industry to educate ourselves and the consumers creates a win-win for all involved. Cleaning companies share best practices to support each others success while clients benefit from doing business with a more professional house cleaning industry.

The need for a bonded and insured cleaning company whose employees are professionally trained and criminal background checked for your security is absolutely critical. After all, you are letting a stranger into your home.

“How can you trust when there is no verification of a criminal background check? How can you protect yourself from a law suit if your cleaner falls down the stairs or slips on your icy door step?”

“One of my goals as a director at ARCSI is to increase public awareness about the importance of professionalism and trust in the residential cleaning industry. Hiring a professional cleaning company is an important decision similar to hiring a certified plumber or electrician.

Members of ARCSI come together to network and share ideas to learn how to improve and grow their own company as well as, improve over all conditions in the entire industry as a whole.
