Hey guys! *smile* I remember
telling you about the importance of making sure you take preventive measures
with the current flu virus by washing your hands thoroughly (including your
finger-nails) with alcohol based gel-like hand sanitizers as often as you can
to destroy viruses and bacteria which can linger on tabletops, telephones and
other surfaces and transferred via the fingers to the mouth, nose or eyes.
Since
infections can happen by simply touching something with flu viruses on it and
consequently touching your mouth or nose, it’s important that you keep a
sanitizer with you at all times for the ease of cleaning your hands, even if
you’re no where near a washroom. And if you can, get an A/H1N1 anti-viral jab
from your local doctor just to be safe ya. *smile* Not many clinics have this
latest influenza vaccine though. I called 15 clinics this week to check, but
only 1 of them had the vaccine and even so, it’s quickly running out of stock.
I finally got my shot today at
Klinik Koo in Taman Tun for RM90. It was out of stock the last few days, can
you believe it?! *laugh* One thing you have to make sure though is that the box
carries the year 2009 on it, since older flu vaccinations may not contain the H1N1 strain.
If there are any doctors here, please correct me if I’m wrong ya… *smile* This
is what the box should look like – take note of the right hand corner on the box which
states “Strains Cepas 2009”.
Also, drinking lots of water is vital for our bodies,
yet, thanks to my health-freak Dad (he's the world's best Dad BTW *smile), I recently discovered the importance of
making sure the water you drink is alkaline based.
My dad's solution for alkaline water - 2 rods that look like hair curlers! Haha.
Since Japanese scientists and medical studies in the US
have identified the accumulation of acidic wastes in our body (Acidosis) as the
underlying cause of degenerative diseases such as Cancer, High Blood Pressure,
Diabetes, Hypertension, Kidney Problems, Arteriosclerosis, Gout and Eczema etc,
it will be essential for us to make sure that we not only try and neutralize
the acid levels in our body but bring up the ph to an alkaline level. Most of
the food we take are acidic (including meat, dairy, coffee etc) and especially
because our body is 70% water, drinking sufficient water to replenish the 2.5
litres we lose everyday is essential and of course, even better if it’s between
the ph of 9 and 10 to help neutralize the stored acids and toxins. Hope this
helps. *smile* Share the info with your family and friends, and encourage them
to get vaccinated too k. Better safe than sorry. *smile* Big hugs~
