Getting the Flu

Winter is on the opening and in class they tend to shut all windows to keep warm. I was


wondering if the reason for flu is a non ventilated occupied area or is it just the cold?

Would you like to answer or comment?

I was late for work this morning, because I got stuck in Zeno's paradox

Flu is caused by a viral infection. The virus can be easily transmitted via the air, so if you are in a closed area with someone who is sick then your chances of getting infected are greater.

Other conditions can influence your body's resistance to infection. Conditions like cold, weariness etc can lower the body's resistance. Staying warm, staying healthy ( a balanced diet , vitamins, regular sport etc) can increase the body's resistance to infection.

What comes around goes around.

The flu is definitely spread faster when the air in a room is not ventilated well.

It's like a child who has head lice and spreads it to other students in his class. Spending so much time with someone in a closed environment makes it easier to transmit to others.

In my day job I write about Blood Pressure Treatment and treat those who suffer from blood pressure problems. Low blood pressure is a particular interest and I'm often asked about how to lower cholesterol levels. A healthy heart is becoming a huge focus for many of us nowadays. Improving your blood pressure control and thus the health of your heart and circulation system is really important. My most recent online "adventure" is to start a facility for people to ask me my opinion and to provide high quality health information by answering medical questions online.

 

 

 

 

 

 

I also have a special interest in the problem of feeling Tired All the Time and in those who suffer from chronic fatigue or lethargy. This seems to tie in also to skin care issues or skin treatment problems and suggestions. Tiredness and fatigue can lead to major problems for many individuals in modern society and the way that this can affect all areas of general health can be quite invasive in terms of daily life and coping skills.

My work with footballers and athletes leads to a focus on Painful Shoulder conditions and on the problems associated with frozen shoulder or whiplash injuryRotator cuff injury causes problems for many of my patients.

When not working I daydream about my next amazing european vacation trip  My favorite European cities include Paris and Barcelona and my next blog project will be to write about the best way to spend a night in Paris and how to find an apartment in Barcelona. I just love European travel in all its forms.

It definitely relates to spending more time in warm environments and in close proximity to others
