It's flu season! For some, getting "the flu" creates mild flu symptoms, and for others with an impaired immune system, the flu can be fatal.
Protect yourself by planning ahead.
We had many people coming in lately that have suffered from the flu. So, it’s that time of year for us to help you get proactive. The symptoms of flu come on very quickly, so your best bet is to support your immune system before it gets sick. Fever, cough, sore throat, runny or stuffy nose, muscles ache, headache, fatigue diarrhea and vomiting are the symptoms for the flu. Not something you really want to put yourself through.
10 Steps To Protect Yourself From The Flu
So here are a few things that we at Awakening Potentials recommend you should do to protect and prevent the flu:
Wash your hands frequently
Sneeze into your elbow when the urge arises

US Federal officials from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) on December 4th issued a health advisory to doctors. Here is a quote:
"Although the flu shot protects against several strains of the virus, one strain—H3N2—has evolved to the point that just half of patients infected with it would benefit from this year's vaccine."You may want to keep this in mind and have a plan B where it comes to protecting yourself from "the flu".
