One of the major problems people have to face especially during winter is flu, which can reach the proportions of an epidemic. It spreads rapidly, priority in schools and institutions. The majority of people who are generally healthy recover rapidly, without the need of a doctor, but the ones with a precarious health need to see a doctor.

It is also possible that the appetite for food to disappear. The temperature can last between three or five days and, normally, the state of indisposition can persist up to some weeks after

There are several means of taking care of our health against flu and among these we can mention: eating healthy food, making aerobics every day, taking vitamins, avoid stress, tiredness and crowded places during the flu period, drinking tea, water, fruit juice and fluids without alcohol or cofeina and, finally, eat fresh garlic.
We have to cure the flu seriously because it can lead to severe complications. It is better to stay indoors in order not to spread the viruses and be careful with the medicine which is sold without recipe: this can mask some unpleasant symptoms, making you believe that you’re healthy but in fact you are not cured yet.
