According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, as many as 52 million Americans may get influenza this year. And up to 36,000 people may die.
The flu is a contagious respiratory illness and an unwelcome, but fairly routine part of our world. Unfortunately, there is no known cure.
The following time-tested strategies can help you ward off the flu:
* Get a flu shot.
* Wash your hands often.
* Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth.
* Cover your mouth if you have to sneeze or cough.
* Stay away from people who are sick.
* Get plenty of exercise.
* Eat healthy.
* Take your vitamins, especially vitamin C.
The University of Maryland Medical Center recommends taking 500 milligrams to 1000 milligrams of vitamin C per day. While vitamin C may not cure the flu, it can help lessen its effects and make you feel better faster.
Mosaic Nutraceuticals, a Dallas-based supplement company, has developed an easy, convenient way to take your vitamin C: a soft candy chew.
