Flu: Influenza is a virus. It requires a good immune system to fight it. Rest, drink plenty of fluids. Avoid sugar, dairy, fatty foods, alcohol. Eat citrus fruits and variety of color of vegetables. Eat lean proteins. Keep your hands clean, clean the surfaces you touch. After you use your toothbrush place the brush portion in boiling water for 3 minutes
