Every 2 seconds someone in the US needs a blood transfusion! Sniffl es, sore throat, fever, and aches and pains may accompany a number of illnesses, but during the wintertime such symptoms are typically indicative of infl uenza. Throughout much of North America, fl u season peaks between December and February. But fl u season can occur anywhere from October to March, advises the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The fl u is contagious and can sideline people for extended periods of time. The CDC says that each year one in fi ve Americans gets the fl u. Taking steps to fend off the fl u can help men and women and the people they routinely come in contact with. Foods Food can be used to fend of the fl u. Common foods that many people already have in their pantries can be powerful fl u- fi ghters. Garlic, for example, contains compounds that have direct antiviral effects and may help destroy the fl u before it affects the body. Raw garlic is best. In addition to garlic, citrus fruits, ginger, yogurt, and dark leafy greens can boost immunity and fi ght the fl u, according to Mother Nature's Network. The British Journal of Nutrition notes that dark chocolate supports T-helper cells, which increase the immune system's ability to defend against infection. A study published in the American Journal of Therapeutics showed that carnosine, a compound found in chicken soup, can help strengthen the body's immune system and help fi ght off the fl u in its early stages. Flu shot and medications Annual fl u shots administered in advance of fl u season can help protect people and their families from getting the fl u. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration says that, in select situations, antiviral medications — which are usually prescribed to treat the fl u and lessen symptoms — can reduce the chance of illness in people exposed to infl uenza. Many over-the-counter medicines can alleviate symptoms of the fl u, but cannot fend it off. Stop germ proliferation Germs can be spread easily between persons through direct contact and indirect contact with surfaces sick individuals have touched. Doctors recommend staying home for at least 24 hours after a fl u-induced fever has dissipated. Well individuals should avoid contact with sick people. Frequent hand-washing with soap and water can stop germs from spreading. When soap and water is not available, alcohol-based hand sanitizers can help. People also should avoid touching their eyes, noses and mouths after being in public places or around someone who is ill. Rest and restore Those who feel symptoms coming on should begin drinking more liquids to keep the respiratory system hydrated and make mucus less viscous. Remember to get adequate sleep, as a tired body cannot effectively fi ght the fl u virus. People of all ages should take steps to protect themselves from the fl u.
