5 Ways to Prevent Influenza (Flu) - Causes and Symptoms

July 6, 2022 By Ravi Chopra
5 Ways to Prevent Influenza (Flu) - Causes, Symptoms

Prevent Influenza & Influenza Symptoms Over 65! 


Seasons change, and before you know, it's winter. As the cold weather sets in, almost everyone starts getting sick and seasonal change is considered one of the evident causes of influenza.

While catching a common cold or flu may not seem like a big deal to some, elderly people, especially those over the age of 65, are at a greater risk of influenza complications and flu-related hospitalisations as their immune defences become weaker with age.

Preventive measures of influenza become necessary during seasonal changes, below we have mentioned 5 ways to prevent influenza but before that let’s know what influenza is.  

Influenza is a viral disease. It is a highly contagious disease of the upper respiratory tract caused by the influenza virus. Influenza symptoms in senior citizens take on a more complicated path, unlike the short-term symptoms that others face at a younger age.

While the initial symptoms are similar, i.e. fever, headache, fatigue, aches and pains, cough, sore throat, runny or stuffy nose, these symptoms can be further amplified in the elderly and can lead to bronchitis, pneumonia, dehydration and worsening of chronic conditions like asthma. It's imperative to take Influenza symptoms seriously to avoid further flu illnesses. 

5 Ways to Prevent Influenza 

1. Build Up The Immune System 

Senior citizens need to strengthen their immune systems to protect themselves against the flu. Eating a nutrient-rich diet and maintaining a regular sleeping routine is the ideal thing to do. Foods rich in Vitamins C and E, Beta-carotene and Zinc, are crucial to one's immunity. Maintaining a low-sugar, low-fat diet that incorporates whole grains and lean proteins also helps stay healthy and fit. 

2. Regular Exercise

Adequate physical activity helps with circulation and boosts immunity. Cycling, going for regular walks, or doing Yoga helps stay fit and ward off infections. 

3. Wash Hands Regularly 

The flu virus can live on surfaces for over 24 hours, and since humans come in contact with most external surfaces via their hands, it is important to wash hands regularly with soap for at least 20 seconds. This is especially important after using the washroom, using gadgets, touching surfaces like doorknobs and light switches and right before eating. Use hand sanitiser if you are unable to wash your hands, and try not touching your nose, mouth or eyes to prevent influenza pandemic.  

4. Get an Influenza Vaccine

The Centers For Disease Prevention And Control (CDC) recommends everyone, especially citizens above the age of 65 years, get the flu or an influenza vaccine once every 6 months before the flu season starts as they are at a higher risk for developing serious complications from flu. Preventive measures of influenza are better than catching the virus. 

5. Take Immune Boosting Supplements

Taking herbal supplements can help boost immunity among the elderly. One such is a natural lozenge developed by Alchemlife Phytorelief-CC, containing ginger, pomegranate, and turmeric plant actives. This natural, clinically tested solution helps prevent influenza and is one of the best remedies for cold relief. 

Phytorelief-CC is an anti-bacterial, anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and immune booster supplement, making it a good choice for those over 60 years of age.
