I agree with you, I think stress is a huge factor in getting sick.

The number one thing we can do is wash our hands. Also avoid putting your fingers in your mouth or around your eyes and nose. I am a big believer in comfort foods. Anything warm or slightly spicy always makes me feel better. Having someone there helps too. I am a big believer in immune boosting foods like garlic and onions as well. Some people may say that it doesn’t work, but I believe it does and hey anything that makes you feel better is always good!

Hi Cathy,
Yes, very true, hand washing is essential. Perhaps you didn’t catch swine flu though because your immunity is so strong with all your healthy eating and exercise???

you left out ‘hand washing’

not just a quick rinse with hot water but thorough soaping up and then rinsing off and a thorough drying.

because I’m at a bit Uni something like 30,000 student/staff on the the main campus and the Swine Flu’ epidemic was a threat, I put in place a thorough handwashing sequence throughout the day…I didn’t catch anything

until…it was the break time and I believe that was because some of the stress/rushing about stopped!

Uni itself survived…apparently if the epidemic had gotten under way, Uni would have been closed down. Notices were sent out at the time of exams saying that if you were sick with any sort of flu’ to stay home, email the Uni and then later when you were better your exams would be rescheduled.

Great tips! And like you, I would rather let the thing run its course than suppress it with meds. Now, about that getting more sleep thing . . . I might be in trouble there. .-= Megan at Simple Kids´s last blog ..5 Positive Character Traits Encouraged by Free-Range Parenting =-.

[...] 最近身体不太好，老是循环着感冒，扁桃体也闹革命。看到这个文章，对比一下，原来问题可能大部分还是在自己身上，虽然大环境也不好（例如最近甲流盛行）。 [...]

Hey Gordie,
Couldn’t agree more–give me diet over pills any day. I’m a bit frantic about NOT taking pills to be honest, I’d nearly rather suffer than take something if I can help it!
