H1N1..... =.=..
Well, been reading through wikipedia... And I came across this.. Since everywhere we're having this talks about the Influenza A virus or H1N1.. Ways of prevention? Do read below.. To all my dear friends and family... Do take care of yourselves....=.=.
Washing your hands: Infection can be caused by touching a surface contaminated with flu viruses, therefore a thorough and frequent hand washing is the best way to prevent many common infections by using soap and water or an alcohol-based cleanser;
Eating right and getting enough sleep: Poor diet and sleep habits lowers immunity and makes persons more vulnerable to infections. They recommend a balanced diet including fruits and vegetables, whole grains, and enough protein. Adults do best on seven to eight hours of sleep a night [Faham faham la all my gamer friends.....], while older children and teens need nine to ten hours;
Regular exercise: Cardiovascular exercises, such as walking, biking, and other aerobics, can boost the immune system. While it won't prevent infection, individuals may have less severe symptoms and recover more quickly.
They also suggest avoiding crowds whenever possible during flu season, as the flu spreads easily wherever people congregate, such as in child care centers, schools, office buildings, auditoriums and public transportation.
