How is it possible that a family of 5 people living under the same roof can have completely different reactions during flu season?
It’s Not Just The Germs
Let’s assume that everyone is exposed to the same germs and viruses. If the sickness were due completely to the virus, everyone would get sick and exhibit the same reaction and symptoms.
What happens in reality is that one or two family members get ill while the others don’t. Clearly the issue is not the germs, but the body’s response to them.
Chances are the last time you got sick you were running yourself ragged. Missing sleep, eating improperly, slacking on your nutrition, stressed out from work, skipping your acupuncture sessions, and neglecting your workouts. This is a vicious pattern that many of us fall into and it’s one that weakens the body and allows germs to take hold.
Natural Immunity
Your best defense against the flu, colds, or any other germ-borne illness is not necessarily over the counter medication, but to bolster your internal defenses and immunity. You stand your best chance of being at your healthiest when you have an optimally functioning meridian system.
Consider an acupuncture tune-up, keep your lifestyle habits in good order, and maintain a positive attitude. Do this, and those pesky little germs don’t stand a chance!
