Cold
And Flu Defense
Cold and Flu defense
can be simple, natural and
healthy.
The simplest, most effective, proven cold and flu
defense is hygiene.
More specifically paying special
attention to the way you wash your hands and other neglected but
simple natural hygiene therapies like nasal irrigation.
Most
people think viruses fly through the air then into your nose or
mouth. If that were true then the best cold and flu defense would be
vitamin C and anti-viral drugs.
But viruses like the cold and
flu don't fly – they hitchhike.
You usually pick up droplets
of a cold or flu virus from hand to hand contact or from objects like
doorknobs, telephones or tables.
Over 90% of cold and flu
viruses enter your body when you touch your eyes or your nose with
your fingernails.
So cold and flu defense rule number one -
don't touch your face with your hands.
Your fingernails carry
more viruses like the cold and flu than any other part of your
body.
The skin under your fingernails lack the horny layer
that protects other skin on your body. Combine this with the actual
nail and you create a safe, warm place for cold and flu viruses and
bacteria to survive.
Washing your fingernails regularly is
crucial as a first line of cold and flu defense.
Regular,
effective hand washing helps reduce your chance of inoculating
yourself with a cold or flu virus and helps you avoid passing a cold
or flu virus on to someone you know through hand to hand contact.
So
cold and flu virus defense rule number two – wash your hands
regularly and pay special attention to washing your
fingernails.
Using hand washing as an effective first line of
cold and flu defense can be more complicated than it seems on the
surface.
You need to use the right kind of soap and you can
make several potentially dangerous mistakes when you wash your
hands.
Also washing your hands is just the beginning.
Other
therapies like nasal irrigation are vital if you want natural,
powerful cold and flu defense.
