Prevention- The flu vaccine

Much of the illness and death caused by the influenza virus can be prevented by the annual influenza vaccination. Many individuals still do not have the knowledge or understand the importance or how to get the vaccine and also because at times, stocks can run out of the vaccine. There have been many miss-understandings of the vaccine in the public eye. The vaccine is given each year by an injection. People who are at high risk of getting the influenza virus are strongly recommended to get annual vaccination. These groups of people include:

� Aged over 65

� Chronic respiratory disease

� Chronic heart disease

� Chronic kidney disease

� Chronic liver disease

� Diabetes

� Chronic neurological disease

� Immunosuppression illness

High risk groups also include those working in public sector areas or those in contact with a number of different groups of people, for example : health care workers, those living in close proximity to others, gym environments, air conditioned areas or working.

The vaccine needs to be given each year, this is due to the clever fact that the virus changes continually by mutating. Therefore, each year, the vaccine changes according to the most up to date virus that is present. Also, once a person receives the vaccine, the effectiveness of the vaccine, reduces over time in an individual.

The vaccine should be taken around September of each year and it takes approximately 2 weeks for the beneficially effects of the vaccine to develop.

As a nutritional therapist, Sune has seen hundreds of patients who are struggling to loose weight and has underlying health issues. She has also helped many people loose weight safely, naturally and effectively through making dietary and lifestyle changes with great success.

Loosing weight is not about will power, less calories, deprivation and denial. Too many people embark on a 'diet' which has a definite beginning and end only to pile the weight back on three months later. These 'diets' don't work! Sune encourages her patients to adopt a new attitude when it comes to shifting the pounds permanently. Through health and lifestyle coaching, regular consultations, encouragement and sincere interest in your health, Sune will guide you through the process in order to get you back to your slim, fit and gorgeous self.

The body is fascinating and is constantly working towards keeping every component in balance in order to prevent disease and ill-health. If this incredible machine has been exposed to years of poor quality food choices, stress, lack of exercise, deprived of essential nutrients and has been exposed to environmental toxins the chances are that things are not as kosher as they could be. As one organ compensates for another's poor function and as hormones fluctuate like shooting stars on a daily basis the body is under constant pressure to create equilibrium and possibly to the detriment of the body as whole in the long run if precautions are not taken and changes do not happen.

Taking care of your health, making positive lifestyle changes and being aware of the food you eat and the environment you live in is probably the best insurance policy you could ever invest in. Prevention is after all better than cure!
