With all the panic over the swine flu (H1N1), are you wondering what you can do to avoid it?  Can you avoid it?  Is there anything a girl can buy, or take from her medicine cabinet, to help?

People should be ensuring their immune systems are in top form.  I’ve read a lot about how great Vitamin D is for your immune system (is it a coincidence that flu season is worse at the time of year when people are indoors more, not out in the sun, naturally making Vitamin D?).  I’m definitely putting Vitamin D on my shopping list.  Other things to consider would be Vitamin C, E, and A.  Bioflavonoids are also good.  Zinc is another supplement that, if you aren’t getting enough from food sources, you might want to talk to your doctor about all of these BEFORE swine flu hits your house.

Definitely something to think about.  We’re not in a panic at our house over the swine flu.  A flu is a flu to me.  Now if this winter things take a drastic turn for the worse, then that may change but with good hygiene and immune system boosters, I’m hoping to keep it out of our house, or at least limit its time here.
