In the past few days there has been increasing worries about the Swine Flu.
The Swine Flu is a respiratory disease normally found in pigs and caused by type A influenza viruses. While outbreaks of this type of flu are most common in pigs, human cases of swine flu do happen.
People with direct exposure to pigs are those most commonly infected with swine flu and just as the common flu is passed along, swine flu can spread by coughing, sneezing, or touching something with the viruses on it.
Here's another note, you cannot catch swine flu from eating pork.
According to the CDC, the swine flu viruses is not transmitted by food. Properly cooking pork to an internal temperature of 160°F kills all bacteria and viruses.
MVP Fitness is taking precautionary measures to protect you from Swine Flu.
There has been a complete and intensive cleaning done at the MVP Fitness Studio and all MVP Boot Camp equipment, including every single resistance band and exercise mat has been painstaking cleaned. Plus, hand sanitizer will be on hand at MVP Boot Camp to ensure a clean environment.
Now, with that being said here are six ways to help build your immune system and to protect yourself from the Swine Flu.
1. Eat more broccoli to ward off those nasty germs. Broccoli helps build your vitamin C and coats cell surfaces and prevents the entry of viruses.
2. Take a multivitamin. Just one multivitamin can reduce your risk of infections, including colds and the flu by 76%.
3. Get proper rest. Getting 7-8 hours of sleep will build your immune system.
4. Take Braggs Apple Cider Vinegar. If you read my email last week, a daily dose of ACV will help support a healthy immune system.
5. Start exercising if you don't exercise now. There are so many benefits that result when you exercise. (Of course, MVP Boot Camp and MVP Personal Training sessions are a great way to get in shape)
6. Prayer. I pray that God will protect each and every one of you and your loved ones from any illness, hurt, harm or danger.
