New! Family Health Tip

 

Prevent Swine Flu-Good
Advice from Dr. Vinay Goyal


The only portals of entry are the nostrils and mouth/throat . While you are still healthy and not showing any symptoms of flu, in order to prevent proliferation, aggravation of symptoms and development of secondary infections, some very simple steps can be practiced:

1. Frequent hand-washing (well highlighted in all official communications). 

2. "Hands-off-the-face" approach. Resist all temptations to touch any part of face.

3. Gargle twice a day with warm salt water (use Listerine if you don't trust salt). H1N1 takes 2-3 days after initial infection in the throat/nasal cavity to proliferate and show characteristic symptoms. Simple gargling prevents proliferation. In a way, gargling with salt water has the same effect on a healthy individual that Tamiflu has on an infected one. Don't underestimate this simple, inexpensive and powerful preventative method. 

4. Clean your nostrils at least once every day by blowing the nose hard once and then swabbing both nostrils with cotton buds dipped in warm salt water.

5. Boost your natural immunity with foods that are rich in Vitamin C. If you have to supplement with Vitamin C tablets, make sure that it also has Zinc to boost absorption.  

6. Drink as much of warm liquids as you can (ldsfamilyfun suggests hot cocoa or warm lemonade).  Drinking warm liquids has the same effect as gargling, but in the reverse direction. They wash off proliferating viruses from the throat into the stomach where they cannot survive, proliferate or do any harm.
