micheal allen asked: Why is there so much Flu going around i have had it 3 times this year.
I know there is a swine flu epidemic but i am sure i have not had that.
I keep myself reasonably fit and try to diet and eat the correct amount of vitamins a day i take my 5 a day vegetables and fruit.
I am no different to all the years before this one but never have a had Flu 3 times in one year if i am very unlucky i will get flu every 3 years for about i week then it is gone again,this year though is different.
Everywhere i look everyone seems to have the sniffles or coughing or sneezing i think this year has been the worst so far for the majority of people.
Peoples habits do not help when they are in public shopping or just out and about i see them coughing or sneezing and then touching shelves doors and other things this passes on the bug.
The weather over here in the United Kingdom have not helped this year it has been either raining or freezing or both.
I used to work cleaning drains for a company and my immune system was a lot higher because i was working in a dirty environment, but even though it has not gone down that much for me to get this bug 3 times.
You can get flu jabs from the doctor but surely this is not the answer our immune systems should battle it out in a natural way or beable to get rid of the bug initially.
Another thing comes to mind when i see things like this happening especially to myself. I was watching a program on television the other month it was about how Supermarkets add extra things to our food to make them more presentable on the shelf and to give the food more shelf life, it was interesting how they injected water into things to make them look bigger, they also added extra supplements to prolong the shelf life of the food. This can not be healthy and if they are doing this it must add extra or take away some of the vitamins in the food. I know it will be monitored from a governing body but it is still not good and it must in some way also effect our immune systems that is just my thoughts on this matter.
