The flu has reached an epidemic level in the U.S. this year. I’ve heard of a few local rest homes and assisted living centers that are quarantined and I’m sure that’s happening nationwide.
The CDC advises that to get a flu shot is the best defense. To my knowledge, I’ve never had a flu shot.
I had a bad spell of the stomach flu for two or three Winters around 2009-2011 I think it was… I wound up in the hospital each time because I dehydrated so quickly.
When it began coming kind of a weird routine and I realized I was now terrified I was going to come down with the stomach flu, the Katydid began to research it and came across the extraordinary vitamin content in Kiwi! I began feverishly eating Kiwi – which wasn’t a problem because I like Kiwi. (Knock on Wood…) I haven’t had the flu in several years…
About a year ago I added Vitamin D to my daily vitamins upon recommendation of the Katydid and I feel that has helped. I’ve actually felt that yucky feeling one gets when coming down with the flu and it just hasn’t taken hold of me. I can only attribute that to the Kiwi and Vitamin D – because my lifestyle, in general – is not a healthy one.
U.S. Flu Map
This map, created by Walgreens with data from its weekly retail prescriptions for antiviral medications used to treat influenza, tracks the current state of the influenza epidemic. I found this map at http://knowmore.washingtonpost.com/2015/01/02/map-where-the-flu-epidemic-is-worst-in-the-u-s/ 
Flu Symptoms
A 100 degree fever or feeling feverish (not everyone with the flu has a fever) A cough and/or sore throat A runny or stuffy nose Headaches and/or body aches Chills Fatigue Nausea, vomiting, and/or diarrhea (most common in children)
Flu Home Remedies by the Katydid
Kiwi and Vitamin D for Flu Prevention @ www.LoveHomeandHealth.com
Take a good Vitamin D DAILY. And I usually buy most of our supplements from amazon because I don’t like to shop and it’s just quick and easy and usually cheaper since I’m a PRIME member and don’t have to pay shipping, PLUS the prices are usually cheaper on amazon. But recently I was in Walgreen’s and they had some of their supplements on sale and I was going to order Vitamin D later that day so I just bought a brand in there called Finest and we LOVE that. It’s tiny and I LOVE tiny pills Another thing you can do is eat Kiwi daily. Now that can get expensive if you have a big family because one little kiwi is about 50 cents at Big Johns and most folks should eat 2 a day. HOWEVER, it will be the best money you ever spent!!! Did you know that Kiwi is tons more nutritious than an orange? Yup … sure nuff is! A tiny Kiwi has tons more Vitamin C than that old orange we hear so much about.
