Prepare For the Swine Flu, Boost Your Immune System
By Carolin
Welcome back!
CDC says it’s too late to contain a US outbreak!!!
(watch the video below)
The swine flue is spreading. 8 students are have tested positive in New York City.
The first European case of the flu is confirmed in Spain. EU warns against traveling to US and Mexico.
It is possible that we have a pandemic on our hands?
It’s not sure if the flue vaccine from this winter will protect us from the swine flu. For all of us how did not get the vaccine there is not enough vaccine left.
So what can we do today! Right now?
Boost Your Immune System.
No everyone gets the flue. Some only get a mild version of it. Some get really sick.
Here are some of the most quick, easy and effective ways to boost your immune system.
#1: Start With Your Intestine. All the vitamins and antioxidants in the world won’t help if your body is not able to take it up. Therefore start by taking probiotics and fermented food. There are many fermented foods that you can make on your own. But many choose a product like InLiven since it is convenient and very effective. Most foods that state to contain probiotics have a concentration of healthy bacteria that is far to small to have an effect. Instead many of them contain high amounts of sugar. When you try a product t like InLiven you feel the difference.
#2: Fill Up With Nutrition. Eat the healthiest foods you can imagine. Pamper yourself with fresh fruits and vegetables. Try to by the organic version especially for the most contaminated fruits and veggies like apples, bell peppers and strawberries. If you find organic fruits and vegetables too expensive and start sprouting. You can by organic seeds at home deport for a couple of dollars and with simple colander and some water you and turn the seeds in to organic, nutritious super foods.
#3: Give It An Extra Boost. The 2 very powerful but vital substances that most of us are lacking are omega3 and antioxidants. These supplements can be quite expensive so look at the effecitiveness of the product not just the price. Or you will end up paying a lot for little or no effect.
#4: Add Foods With Antiviral Properties To Your Daily Diet. There are many food that have anitviral properties for example lemon, garlic, curcumin (turmeric), broccoli, dandelion, oninons,
#5: Flush Out The Toxins. Drinking water is a great way to help you body get rid of toxins.
#6: Get Out In The Sun. Exersice and Sunshine are a part of the foundation of our health. We’re lucky it’s spring. So get outside and walk, run, play ball or what ever you enjoy doing.

This is really getting scarier by the day. But there is no need to panic. Your tips really makes sense. By the way, fermented food is the same as fermented drinks? How about beer? In moderation of course.
Here are a couple of recipes for lacto-fermented beer.
If you try any of them let me know how it was.
Thanks Carolin. I like the ginger beer recipe. I’m so inclined to try it out but I’m too busy these days. But I bookmarked the recipe and I will certainly do this in the future, or have someone do it for me. LOL.
By the way, it’s kind of a pleasant surprise that you brought up sourdough as I recently came across a blog mentioning something about a 150-year old starter. I just have to share that and my reaction to that which is “Wow!” Hehe
Sourdough is fantastic. I make my own sourdough bread from scratch. I freeze my homemade sourdough base and just take it out before it’s time to bake. Hmm. I should probably post my favorite recipes here. There is nothing like homemade bread.
Hi! My name is Daniel. I am a very active business entrepreneur. The wellness of my Immune System is a top priority. So your article is well-appreciated.
As a vegetarian, it is a slight challenge to find all of the bells and whistles to have a balanced diet. I follow most of the recommendations you have shared in your article. I really enjoy drinking Silk (Soy milk). Does this qualify as a recommended protein source? In the last 2 years, I have discovered and have been using an undenatured Whey-Protein source which provides the precursors(building blocks)for GLUTATHIONE the body’s master antioxidant. GLUTATHIONE is naturally produced in our body. However, it can be severely compromised,at all ages, by the many pathogens which we breathe in and ingest. Of course, as we age, GLUTATHIONE is depleted, unless we provide the building blocks for our body to replenish it. If this undenatured whey protein source sounds interesting as an added tool to your Immune System arsenal, you can learn more on the immunesystemwellness.com site.
Once again, thank you for helping me keep my Immune System in top shape!
Boy do I just love sourdough bread. I honestly doubt there is any bread much better. It’s especially good toasted with butter and jam. Yum.
I also try to eat other foods that are fermented such as yogurt, kefir, and kim chi. The probiotic bacteria in them does wonder for your health and strengthening your immune system
Chloes last blog post..What Are Probiotics?
Swine flu is still spreading pretty rapidly
[...] superfood and Fast-Tract gluten-free probiotic liquid were developed over 25 years’ to help boost the body’s defences against seasonal viral diseases. And since that includes Swine Flu, can you really afford not to [...]
I’ve been taking glutathione vitamins, a powerful antioxident, and I’ve been feeling great. I don’t think we know just how toxic our food is today and how it can effect our immune systems. Organic is the only way to go.
If people die in a certain disease, it is really scary.
Yes, there is a need to boost our immune system and taking probiotics everyday will help us fight diseases.
I don’t get much of a scare in swine flu because I take at least 3 liters of water everyday, I do tai chi and yoga with my family, and right now we are trying to become vegetarian.
My choices of friends are also healthy conscious individual. A friend of mine introduces me to the wonders of probiotics. His probiotics does not contain any sugar and calories, and the number of probiotics that he is taking everyday is billions in number.
The probiotic is very affordable, and in a few days time, I felt the change in my body, I feel stronger and younger. My family is taking probiotics too. A Healthy brings a family closer and happier.

Great article. I’m definitely all for natural approaches, Vitamin D is at the top of my list. I’m still on the fence about the flu vaccine or suffering through the flu itself, which is worse long term?

Sam,
I’ve never tired glutathione vitamins. I’ve tried a lot of things and Berry Radical is my favorite so far. I fully agree organic is the way to go.

I was in MExico when the outbreak started it was scarier to say the least every person had on MAsks and every store had someone in the front with hand sanitizer before you could walk in and in Puebla a large city in Mexico it was like a ghost town downtown
