well apart from getting enough rest, staying away from people that are sick and eating healthy, we are not actually doing that much. my daughter and i had a type of flu (my daughter so much so that hubby took her to the er due to breathing issues). the dr there told them that every type of flu is from that strain this year.

I eat healthy and train hard, also try to spend as much time as I can outdoor rather than indoor, nothing else.
I didn't get the vaccine, don't get supplements, nothing.
Up to now, I'm the only employee in my office (25 people only) who has not yet got flu.

I am not doing something special for the prevention from swine flu. Its just the daily hygiene which I and my family is following. Few things are: washing your hands regulary, avoiding contact with people who are sneezing, avoiding crowded places and preventing self from common cold etc.
Being extra fearful is not good, just being lil preventive is more than enough.

cathylee hi no masks but I wash my hands, I mean really wash them with hot water and soap; also I use purell a hand disinfectant made to prevent flu epidemics. the doctors themselves say washing your hands thouroughly every day will stop 99 percent of the flue bugs. so wash your hands and t ake plenty of multiviatmins too. every day.Also eat healthy foods and get sunshine and exercise too.be healthy.

I eat plenty of nutritious food to avoid getting sick because medicines and hospitalization are now so expensive plus the fact that our government has no substantial health insurance, it is really inconceivable to get sick. As much as possible I never stay late at night to avoid too much stress.
