Influenza and Supplements: Start Protecting Your Body Today!

Influenza and Supplements: Start Protecting Your Body Today!

You already know that millions of North Americans suffer the effects of influenza every year. You experience the effects of the flu season along with everyone else. The fevers, the headaches, the bed-ridden days. Perhaps you consider it an “unavoidable” annoyance in your life. Perhaps you have forgotten the danger influenza can be.

Or maybe you never knew.

In Canada alone, influenza contributes to up to 8,000 yearly deaths.

Even if you don’t die from influenza, you might play a role in passing it along to someone who will.

If you contract the virus you are putting everyone you pass it on to at serious risk. Strengthening your immune system is the responsible thing to do — both for yourself and for society.

This year, take control of your body! Resist influenza. It’s a lot easier than you think.

The answer?

Strengthen your immune system.

The real danger of influenza is that it weakens an already exposed immune system – making the infected even more susceptible to other devastating diseases. The simple solution is to reinforce your immune system – something that can be extremely easy to be, but that most of us forget about.

Of course, one popular prevention strategy is the flu shot. However, it’s important to realize that there is no way to include all the risky influenza strains into one shot. We all remember the H1N1 pandemic. Strains can mutate suddenly and ambush an unprotected society.

YOU need to be ready for influenza – with or without the flu shot.

You and your body need to work together. Keep your immune system as strong as it can possibly be!

The most effective way to assist your immune system is to keep your body healthy. Living a balanced life style will drastically reduce your chances of becoming infected with influenza. This includes exercising regularly and eating healthy.

What does your immune system crave? A healthy diet, Vitamin C, Vitamin D, and antioxidants are a fantastic start!

You might think you’re providing your body with enough minerals and vitamins, but very few of us are. As Dr. Linus Pauling notes, “Nearly every disease can be linked to a mineral deficiency.” The frustrating reality is that even with all the effort a balanced diet takes, chances are our bodies are STILL lacking essential minerals it needs to maintain optimal health.

Everyone — regardless of how healthy you believe you already are — should be more concerned with their health. Particularly what we eat.

What if I told you there was one solution that could provide your immune system with EVERYTHING it needs at once?

Something that combined convenience and quality.

The answer is simple:

Vitamin supplements!

Without supplements we are unnecessarily exposing our bodies to the dangers of influenza. Instead of exposing yourself and your loved ones to influenza this year, see what supplementing can do for you. Let your health be an asset to your success, rather than a challenge. Start preparing for the flu season today.
