VACCINES

For children under six years of age, over 65, pregnant women, diabetics, smokers, health workers and people with already weakened immune system, vaccination should be a priority. While the vaccinated people can contract the flu, they will have no complications, which would usually put them in hospitals.

STRENGTHENING IMMUNITY

First of all, water should be inserted in large quantities, and other liquids such as tea, milk, yogurt and soup are also welcomed, because the body needs to be hydrated. Similarly, in body's defense against viruses fresh fruits and vegetables are essential, especially vitamin C from lemons and other citrus fruits, as well as banana, apple and cranberry. Honey and bee products such as royal jelly and propolis have been used for centuries as prevention against cold, and now science has proven it is working.

WATCH WHERE YOU ARE GOING AND WHAT YOU ARE TOUCHING 

Flu is spread by infected people through coughing and sneezing and it gets to you via air either directly or it remains on doorknobs, handrails, keyboards and other common objects. So, avoid places with many people.

WASH YOUR HANDS 

It is enough to bring your hand close to your face and to infect yourself with a flu. So wash your hand as often as possible and wipe them with aseptic tissues, and regular shower is recommended, changing of bed sheets and other things that affect personal hygiene.

REST AND RELAXATION

Stress and insomnia are conducive to the flu because while we struggle with daily tasks and thoughts, our immunity is weakened. Viruses stick to the fatigued organism like flies and they it doesn't take much to force you into bed.
