Many get a vaccinations against H1N1, or “swine flu,” special in the USA, but in Europe people are not running to get a flu shot, they are worried about the late side effects which is not documented yet. Here I will give you a little info about what to eat to boost the immune system and what not to do.
Some Notes:
- Swine flu “H1N1″ is likely to be spread the same way as any flu, from person-to-person contact, through coughing and sneezing, the “best and easiest protection against flu”, including swine flu, is to “wash your hands often, for 15 to 20 seconds, with soap and water or with an alcohol-based hand cleaner, until your hands are dry, you could sing the alphabet song .
- You can’t get swine flu from eating pork or from drinking bottled or tap water, two common myths about contagion.
- People with immunity problems, such as thyroiditis, rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, and celiac disease, should talk to their doctors before upping their intake of immunity-boosting foods, because “their immune systems are already overstimulated.”
- Some reputed immunity-boosters, including garlic, foods high in zinc (such as oysters and peanuts), and foods rich in conjugated linoleic acid CLA (hard cheeses) have not been proven to fight the flu.
