The rising number of influenza cases signals the arrival of the flu season. 'Muse' asked last week how you ensure you stay healthy enough to combat any threats from flu viruses during this time of year, and if you have any tips to share with us about staying healthy? Here are your answers!
Muse's PICK
"
'Eat right, live better, live longer!' is an adage we can all choose to live by to stay healthy.
"By eating right, we can follow the basic health rules of trying to stay as close to nature as possible, choosing to eat things that are 'real' unprocessed foods. Like someone once penned: 'Don't eat anything your grandmother wouldn't recognise as food'. So stay away from processed foods that contain artificial substitutes full of preservatives and chemicals.
"When anyone in my house feels a tinge of flu symptoms or starts coughing, the instant remedy is to boil ginger and make it into a hot drink, sweetened with honey. Then there's also the apple-cider-vinegar-with-honey remedy that always does the trick.
"When someone in the family has a full-blown cold or very sore throat we often make our explosive concoction of boiled cabbage (rich in vitamin C) with crushed garlic (natural antibiotic), chillies (folic acid), onions (blood cleanser), a few strips of ginger, along with some cayenne powder and soy sauce for seasoning _ a potent soup that promises to flush out all those germs! A close and tastier alternative to this is tom yum soup, of course. Works wonders!
"To live right is to live above stressful situations that only suppress your happy hormones and cause your body to produce poisonous toxins. Strive to stay positive, to stay calm, and maintain that balance in your life, between work and play. Strive to be at peace with others, because really, what does it matter if you win or lose an argument if it means that it's going to cost you your well-being?
"Last but not least, love is the all powerful essence of life. It has been said that even if you possess all the riches in the world, you would still be an impoverished soul without love. Without love, it's nothing! Science has even proven that love can boost one's immunity and promote better health. Obviously, love will produce more endorphins, the happy hormones, and that alone can play a big part in keeping you mentally, emotionally and physically fit!"
