swine flu

The newest epidemic reported around the world is Swine Flu.
This article explains the in and out of some of the most important aspects of it how to be away from getting swine flu.

The ideas given are very important in how to live healthy life, specially in finding precautions

Some precautions

1. Importance of Frequent hand-washing

2.Follow the principle of "Hands-off-the-face" approach. You have to resist all temptations to touch any part of face (unless you want to eat, bathe or slap).

3. Gargle twice a day with warm salt water . H1N1 takes 2-3 days after initial infection in the throat/ nasal cavity to proliferate and show characteristic symptoms. Simple gargling prevents proliferation.

4. Similar to 3 above, clean your nostrils at least once every day with warm salt water.

5. Boost your natural immunity with foods that are rich in Vitamin C (Amla and other citrus fruits).

6. Drink as much of warm liquids as you can. Drinking warm liquids has the same effect as gargling, but in the reverse direction.

Follow above all and all these are simple ways to prevent, within means of most households, and certainly much less painful than to wait in long queues outside public hospitals.
