It's Time to Prepare for Flu Season in Las Vegas

As the weather cools down here in Las Vegas, we have some beautiful weather to enjoy.  Unfortunately this is also the season when the flu virus starts to spread in the valley.  I just got my flu shot at Walgreens for $30 and I would recommend anyone in the medical professions do the same to prevent the spread of this awful sickness.  Additionally, here are 10 ways to keep body ready to fight infection

1. GET PLENTY OF REST – at least 8 hours.
2. EAT IMMUNE BOOSTING FOODS – Vitamin rich fruits, whole grains, and colorful vegetables. Fatty foods slow your metabolism. Avoid alcohol – it can decrease your resistance to viral infection.
3. TAKE YOUR DAILY SUPPLEMENTS – Beta C, anti-oxidants like CoQ10, the B Complex, AMs multiple vitamins for vitality during the day, PMs for your trace minerals to rebuild the skeletal matrix while you sleep, AG IMMUNE for building your immune system.
4. WASH YOUR HANDS FREQUENTLY in hot soapy water for at least 15 seconds to the song “Happy Birthday to Me” 2 times.
5. KEEP HYDRATED– drink 8 –10 glasses 8 oz of water daily.
6. KEEP PHYSICALLY ACTIVE – mild to moderate exercise like walking 30 - 40 minutes daily supports the immune system by increasing circulation, oxygenating the body, purging toxins and releasing tension and stress.
7. AVOID CONTACT WITH SICK PEOPLE.
8. TEACH CHILDREN HOW TO SNEEZE - cough or sneeze into a tissue or into their arm.
9. BE VIGILANT OF SURFACES – Be aware of public surfaces you touch and borrowing pens. Wash your hands before you touch your face.
10. KNOW WHEN TO GET HELP.

KEEP IN PERSPECTIVE – Stress releases hormones in our bodies that
can compromise our immune system.
