Aloe Vera: a Better Alternative To The Flu Shot

It’s that time of year – the flu season. All over the world, people (and you) are being told to get their annual flu shot. The elderly, the vulnerable and the children are the most prone to getting the flu.

Because of a weakened immune system, the elderly and the high risk individuals have a hard time combating any virus, not just the flu virus. The immune system in children has not been fully developed and can also be prone to any virus that happens to come along.

The influenza is critical and during the 1918 flu epidemic, millions of people died. The war was winding down; troops were coming home and in general, the population’s immune system was at its lowest. This left the door wide open for this particular viral strain to overwhelm the body’s natural defenses and contribute to so many deaths from an uncontrollable fluid filled body.

Because of this, a huge drive was initiated to create vaccines that were to be given yearly to prevent such a scourge from ever happening again.

What are the symptoms of the flu? These include…

High fever
Headache
Significant aches and pain
Fatigue

The flu is not to be confused with the common cold, which presents itself with a runny nose, sneezing, sore throat and some mild chest discomfort. Usually a fever or a headache is not part of the package.

A healthy and strong immune system is

the strongest defense in warding off the flu

This can be accomplished by exercising 30 minutes at least three times a week, going to bed at a reasonable hour, eating fresh vegetables and fruit, taking Vitamin C and most important, adding aloe vera capsules to your diet. Because it is made from 100% aloe vera, does not have any fillers or additives to cause a sensitive body to react negatively.

Aloe vera builds the immune system and heals the internal organs so that a strong line of defense is there to “attack” any viruses that have gotten into the system. All viruses are opportunists; they will enter where the going is easy. If healthy roadblocks are set up, than gaining access into the body is near to impossible.

Aloe vera does just that for you

It creates a strong barrier and especially is this so important during the winter months. The day light hours are shorter and people are just not that active. With a slow moving economy, fresh fruits and vegetables are almost out of reach for the elderly who live on fixed income. Young children and persons at risk face an immature and weakened immune system, where a good diet can make a world of difference.

Aloeride® should be a part of anyone’s health routine, despite limited food resources. Every healthy road that is traveled will almost surely keep the flu virus from setting up residence in a body that is willing to “wage war” due to a strong immune response.
