Boost Your Immune System against the Swine Flu

Step 1

Increase your intake of vitamin C. Vitamin C not only boosts your immune system,

but in higher dosages has been shown to be an antiviral as well. The recommendation

is to dramatically increase your intake at the first sign you may have been exposed to

the flu. Search for "the Vitamin C Foundation" to find an effective dosage for you.

Step 2

Add green tea or green tea extract to your diet. Several clinical studies have shown

that the polyphenols within green tea have strong antiviral and therefore anti-flu

properties. There have been many other health benefits linked to green tea as well,

so this supplement should be a must have.

Step 3

Spice your foods with turmeric. Curcumin, the active ingredient in turmeric, has both

antiviral and antioxidant properties to help you body ward off any viral infections.

In addition, this compound modulates the inflammation response and decreases

the likelihood that your immune system will over react with inflammatory defenses.

If you do not like the taste of this spice, curcumin is also sold in an extract form

for convenience.

Step 4

Ensure you are getting enough vitamin E in your diet. There has been at least

one clinical study completed that links adequate vitamin E intake with reduced

viral activity. Studies have also shown there may be a link between vitamin E

and a reduced duration and severity of flu symptoms.

Step 5
Add a whey protein shake or two to your diet. Not only is whey protein a great
source of protein and essential amino acids, but it also directly boosts glutathione
levels in your bloodstream. Glutathione is a strong antioxidant that directly
supports your immune system. Having increased levels of glutathione increases
your ability to fight off infections and illness.
