nutritional supplements, vitamins mineralsMy mother lives in Britain and I live in the United States. When I called her on the telephone yesterday she was worried about me catching swine flu. I told my mother to calm down because even if I get swine flu it is unlikely to kill me.
How can I be so sure that I won’t die from this nasty virus should I catch it? I’m sure because I know that my immune system is healthy enough to fight off most viruses and infections. I exercise regularly and eat healthily. I also take vitamins minerals and other nutritional supplements every day without fail. The nutritional supplements I take include vitamin C, vitamin E, beta-carotene, selenium and zinc. All of these nutritional supplements are known to boost the efficiency of the immune system.
My husband has actually been calling all of our relatives to make sure that they are also taking nutritional supplements on a daily basis because according to the latest news a swine flu pandemic now seems imminent. We all need to be doing all we can to protect ourselves. Bear in mind that all strains of the influenza virus are potentially deadly, especially if your immune system is weaker than it should be.
