Prevention is Better than Cure!

Currently we are all bothered by this Influenza A (H1N1). We can't tell when it is going to strike us as the contagious virus is found in almost every part of the world. So each and everyone of us should play our part to boost our immune system so that to prevent the flu. Below are some suggestions that can be done by all of us to reduce our chances to be infected:
1. Virus is mostly found on our hands. So wash your hands as often as possible. Washing your hands using water will not be able to remove the virus from your body. You have to wash your hands using soap and water. But you can't bring soap everywhere so the best is to get a bottle of hand sanitiser which is alcohol based to wash your hands. Ironically, when the hands are clean the virus on other parts of the body will reduce as well (scientifically proven).
2. No viral medication is better than your own immune system. So do everything that you could to boost your immune system. Drink plenty of warm water, eat fruits of different colours (to obtain different vitamins), sleep before 11pm and do some exercises.
3. Wear masks at airport or when you are on board. Air-condition room has poor air ventilation so wearing mask will at least filter the air that you inhale. Don't bother what others think about you when you are wearing it. Wear it for the goodness of your family and yourself.
Doctors predicted that this pandemic disease will affect us for at least two years time. Let's pray hard for our family, friends and relatives so that they are always virus-free..
