To deal with Swine Flu it is best to make sure the immune system is working strongly.
The fundamental approach to strengthening the immune system must be to keep improving your lifestyle – bit by bit, and over time. For example:
- Improve your diet, eg
- Eat more vegetables
- Eat more berries (and less high-sugar fruit)
- Cut down on starchy food – bread, rice, pasta, potatoes
- Eat lean protein and omega-3 rich protein – skinless chicken and turkey breast, oily fish – sardines, mackerel, trout
- Do all the well-known things: cut down on sugar, manufactured food, fatty and cured meats, fast food, breakfast cereals.
- Improve your exercise regime
- Get ‘cardio’ exercise 3-4 times a week – a 30-minute swift walk does this very well – and without damaging the joints.
- Carry out muscle resistance exercises 2-3 times a week – the gym is the usual place, but you can do them at home with special ‘rubber bands’ or weights.
- Don’t overwork, and so exhaust yourself – you’ll know if you are doing this.
- There’s a good post on the SHS (Specialist Herbal Supplies) blog about herbs for the immune system. Basically there are three herbal options they recommend for the immune system:
1. The 90-day Immune Programme with Capsules or with Drops
2. Echinacea Capsules or Drops, or
3. Power Garlic Capsules

Have done some air travel recently and there were still a few people walking round wearing what refer to as dental masks. However, I think it’s all been a bit of a storm in a teacup hasn’t it? Why is it worse than any other form of flu?

Hi Andrew. I think they are concerned just in case it blows up to something bigger – then they’d get the blame.
I travel a lot and these are good reminders for travelers. We are airports a lot and thus more susceptible and we all need to heed these suggestions.

Hi,
I don’t realy see a reson for concern about swine flu. Because in reality it is not worse than ordinary flu.
