Preventing The Flu

10 Best Ways to Prevent Flu Symptoms Without Vaccines

Nobody wants to get the flu and have to endure the pain and discomfort of its symptoms. So, out of fear, every time the 'flu season' comes around, many people do not need to be persuaded to get a seasonal flu shot. Of course, there is no guarantee that getting a flu shot will prevent the symptoms, but you always hope for the best and feel safer after getting the vaccine.

Here are some alternative preventive measures to take as a defense against the flu, rather than take the risk of getting a vaccine with possible side effects:

1. Dress Warm

Dressing warm is obvious and makes sense, especially in colder climates. Shivering and tension from cold decreases circulation in your body and reduces your chances of keeping away cold and flu viruses.

2. Avoid Stress

Stress in any form should be avoided at all times but especially when there is a higher risk of catching colds and flu viruses, such as during cold, winter months.

3. Prevent Contact

Making direct contact with a virus is something you don't want to do. Here are some suggestions:
a) Wash your hands frequently.
b) After using a public bathroom, wash your hands and use a paper towel on door handles instead of your bare hands.
c) Do not touch surfaces in public areas with your bare hands.
d) Wear a mask in high density areas, medical clinics, hospitals and other public places where there is a high risk of contacting viruses.
e) Remember, out of respect for others, to cover your mouth and nose when you cough or sneeze.
f) In the home, disinfect air, clothes and bedding, and carpet.

4. Maintain a Good Diet

Maintain a balanced, healthy diet. Do not deprive your body of vital energy by eating too little, especially during the colder months of the year.
a) Consume -- Garlic -- I know it can keep away people, it just might work to keep away viruses!
b) Avoid -- Sugar -- eaten in moderation is not a problem, but excessive amounts of sugar in your diet has been shown to lower immunity.

5. Relax

Do not underestimate the value of relaxation. Set aside at least 30 minutes a day to consciously relax the whole body, especially the neck area.

6. Take Food Supplements

If your diet consists mostly of foods that are lacking in nutritional value, with little or no vitamin and mineral content, I suggest taking supplements such as vitamin C, multi-vitamins, mineral drinks, herbal teas etc.

7. Avoid Physical Exhaustion

Being in a state of exhaustion invites being smitten with flu viruses. Avoid fatigue, get enough sleep and take care when exercising.

8. Use Alcohol-Free Hand Sanitizer

Our Alcohol-Free Hand Sanitizer is a powerful antiseptic and reduces your liability of the use of alcohol-based products, that are both flammable and could potentially be ingested by children (intentionally and unintentionally). It is also better for the skin and kills more germs than alcohol at 99.999%.

9. Use Effective Cleaning Products

10. Decontaminate Infected Surroundings

Use DepHyze Decon 3D, the world's safest and most powerful anti-microbial, disinfectant agent that eradicates microbes to Log 7 (99.99999%) efficacy by fogging common areas.

Take the above measures seriously and you will be less susceptible to cold and flu viruses.
