Keeping oneself as healthy as possible is essential at all times, but even more so during the flu season.
The Health Products Association of Southern Africa (HPA) says there are a lot of studies that support the intake of vitamin C, D, omega 3 fatty acids, zinc, iron and selenium, in order to boost the immune system.

In addition, getting enough sleep, regular exercise and managing stress are also important for good health.
