Can drinking green tea prevent the flu?

In the U.S., between 25 and 50 millions of people contract influenza each year. 150,000 people hospitalized and 30,000-40,000 die. Thus, it is clear that influenza is a major health problem.

Most of those who are hospitalized or die the flu are the very young and very old, the prevention against influenza is even more so important for this population group. If you are concerned by preventing the flu this year, here are some things you can do to reduce your risk.

influenza-related deaths result generally pneumonia and complications of cardiopulmonary and other chronic conditions. Death of elderly account for more 90% of deaths due to pneumonia and influenza.

Get your flu shot - vaccination against influenza is very effective in preventing the strain most widespread virus of influenza each year. For anyone who interacts regularly with the public, and especially for children of school age who are exposed to all sorts of germs each day, it is an important step in staying healthy throughout the flu season. It is a step necessary for the elderly and children three years and under, who are most likely to develop serious complications from the flu.

Wash your hands - The most important thing you can do to prevent catching a contagious disease is to keep your hands clean. Wash your hands frequently with hot water and antibacterial soap.

Tissue Use - When you sneeze or cough, be sure to cover your mouth and nose with a tissue. That the tissue catch the germs and throw it away immediately.

Use an anti-viral medication - If you are coming down with the flu consult your doctor and get a prescription for an anti-viral. These drugs are effective in shortening the duration of your symptoms. In addition, some antiviral drugs can prevent you from catching the flu.

These drugs are perfect for those who have a close family member who has contracted influenza, and we are confident that they have been exposed. They should not be considered as a replacement for the vaccine against influenza, but may be used as a shutter of emergency if you have not been vaccinated against influenza and are at particular risk.

Eat healthy - Keeping your immune system strong is critical to disease prevention. A healthy diet full of fruits and vegetables, with plenty of rest will help your body to be more able to fight germs that come your way.

Drink green tea - One little-known secret about preventing the flu is add green tea to your diet. Research has shown that green tea is very effective in preventing flu, when consumed regularly.

Second, green tea actually kills the cells of the flu.

Green tea has recently attracted much attention for its ability to prevent disease and protect health. Research has shown that green tea's powerful anti-oxidants are the key to preventing serious illnesses like cancer and cardiovascular disease.

Anti-oxidants are the basis for our health. Every day, our body turns food we eat into energy, free radicals are created. These free radicals damage our cells and DNA, creating a process called oxidation throughout the body.

If this oxidation is allowed to continue over the years, it leads to disease and premature aging. However, anti-oxidants neutralize these free radicals, preventing them from doing their damage.

So, a diet rich in anti-oxidants is one of the best things you can do to protect your health. And green tea is one of the best sources of antioxidants round. In addition, anti-oxidants may be present in fruits, vegetables, coffee, red wine and dark chocolate.
