Fight off Colds, Flus and infections!
The body’s immune system is a fascinating and complex network of cells, tissues, and organs that work together to defend the body against attacks by “foreign” invaders. A healthy immune system can protect you from the nearly infinite number of viruses and bacteria “out there”, and from internal changes that may threaten your health.
Optimizing immune function should be a major goal for anyone wanting to achieve optimal health. Building a healthy immune system requires proper nutrition, infection control, getting enough sleep, reducing stress, and avoiding toxins such as cigarette smoke and industrial pollution that put an extra burden on our natural defenses.
To help optimize immune function choose Virus A-Tak™ from webber naturals®, with a broad spectrum of highly active botanical agents to invigorate and stimulate your body’s natural immunity. This uniquely effective formula contains clinically proven Echinilin®, a potent E. Purpurea extract from fresh organic echinacea, coupled with four synergistic botanicals including Reishi mushroom, Astragalus, Licorice, and Elderberry Extracts.
Influenza Prevention Tips
How to Protect Yourself Against Flu
- Wash hands with soap and water frequently during the day, and especially after you cough or sneeze.
- Use alcohol-based hand cleaners if you are unable to wash your hands.
- Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue when you cough or sneeze. Throw the tissue in the trash after you use it.
- Try not to touch surfaces that may be contaminated with the flu virus.
- Avoid spreading germs by not touching your eyes, nose or mouth.
- Get plenty of sleep.
- Be physically active and manage your stress.
- Drink plenty of fluids and eat nutritious food.
- Avoid close contact with people who are sick. If you are sick, stay home from work or school, and limit contact with others to avoid spreading the infection.
- Use immune-boosting nutrients and botanicals such as vitamin C, zinc, probiotics, vitamin D, selenium, echinacea, astragalus and reishi mushroom.
Influenza is a contagious respiratory infection caused by the influenza virus. There are several strains of the virus that can be spread around the world, with November to April being the principal flu season in Canada. Coughing and sneezing are ways that the influenza virus can spread through droplets, by someone who has the flu. Exposure to these droplets through the nose, mouth or eyes, or touching these areas after contact with contaminated surfaces and hands, are potential avenues by which a person can become infected. The symptoms of influenza include headache, chills, cough, fever, loss of appetite, muscle aches and fatigue, runny nose, sneezing, watery eyes and throat irritation. Nausea, vomiting and diarrhea are symptoms commonly seen in children.
