About Seasonal Flu and What You Can So

Key Facts About Seasonal Influenza (Flu)

What is Influenza (Also Called Flu)?

The flu is a contagious respiratory illness caused by influenza viruses. It can cause mild to severe illness, and at
times can lead to death. The best way to prevent the flu is by getting a flu vaccination each year.

Every year in the United States, on average:

• 5% to 20% of the population gets the flu;
• more than 200,000 people are hospitalized from flu complications, and;
• about 36,000 people die from flu.

Some
people, such as older people, young children, and people with certain
health conditions, are at high risk for serious flu complications.

Symptoms of Flu

Symptoms of flu include:

• fever (usually high)
• headache
• extreme tiredness
• dry cough
• sore throat
• runny or stuffy nose
• muscle aches
• Stomach symptoms, such as nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea, also can occur but are more common in children than adults

Complications of Flu

Complications of flu can include bacterial pneumonia, ear infections, sinus infections, dehydration, and worsening of
chronic medical conditions, such as congestive heart failure, asthma, or diabetes.

How Flu Spreads

Flu viruses spread mainly from person to person through coughing or sneezing of people with influenza. Sometimes people
may become infected by touching something with flu viruses on it and then touching their mouth or nose. Most healthy adults
may be able to infect others beginning 1 day before symptoms develop and up to 5 days after becoming
sick. That means that you may be able to pass on the flu to someone else before you know you are sick, as well
as while you are sick.

The New Wellness Revolution

From the Stanford Prvention Research Center

Endowment

The C. F. Rehnborg Chair in Preventive Medicine was endowed in 1989 with contributions from the Rehnborg family, Amway Corporation, and the Nutrilite Foundation and is intended to perpetuate the memory and ideals of Carl F. Rehnborg by helping to encourage and advance the study of disease prevention at Stanford. Carl F. Rehnborg first became interested in nutrition when he lived and worked in China from 1915 to 1927, where he observed widespread malnutrition and conceived the idea of a plant-based supplement to fortify the diet. In 1934 Carl produced what was believed to be the very first multivitamin/multimineral dietary supplement introduced into the world marketplace. A year before Mr. Rehnborg's death in 1973, Nutrilite Products, Inc. was acquired by the Amway Corporation of Ada, Michigan, which was founded by former Nutrilite distributors Rich DeVos and Jay Van Andel. Today, Alticor Inc., parent company of Amway Corporation, Quixtar Inc., and Access Business Group, continues to market NUTRILITE® supplements and nutritional foods around the world through its Amway and Quixtar affiliates. Mr. Rehnborg's son, Carl Samuel, received a B.S. degree in chemical engineering from Stanford in 1958 and a Ph.D.in biophysics from the University of California at Berkeley. He is currently the president of the Nutrilite Health Institute, which continues the company's strong interest in research in the prevention of disease and in health promotion, particularly through improving nutrition and fitness.

Press Release from Quixtar:

Quixtar Celebrates Nutrilite Founder's Induction to Wellness Revolution Hall of Fame

The Late Carl F. Rehnborg Honored as a Pioneer in the History of Nutrition

[Quixtar News: Feb. 8, 2007] The late Carl F. Rehnborg, inventor of the first multivitamin/multimineral food supplement in North America and one of the pioneers of multilevel marketing, will be inducted into the Wellness Revolution Hall of Fame during ceremonies today in Las Vegas. Rehnborg was the founder of NUTRILITE. NUTRILITE® is the world's leading brand of vitamin, mineral, and dietary supplements, based on 2005 sales. Nutrilite products are sold exclusively by Quixtar Independent Business Owners throughout North America.

“I am thrilled that my father is being recognized for his role in helping people achieve optimal health,” says Dr. Sam Rehnborg, President of the NUTRILITE Health Institute and Carl’s son. “History has proven that the link my father made between nutrition and good health is undeniable. He would be honored to be included with so many other esteemed health pioneers in the Wellness Revolution Hall of Fame. And he would be amazed that the supplement he created more than 70 years ago remains a top-selling product around the world.”

Invention out of Necessity
While living in China in the early 1920s, Carl Rehnborg noticed, amid unforgettable malnutrition and disease, an important connection between the foods people ate and their overall health. In farming communities, where fresh fruits and vegetables were plentiful, people were much healthier overall. In the cities, where diets included far more sugar, salt, and fat, Carl noted that there were many more instances of critical diseases, such as scurvy and beriberi.

During political unrest in Shanghai, Carl was isolated in a protected enclave where he conceived the idea of using nutritional elements missing from the typical diet as a way to improve overall health. Carl supplemented his meager diet with soups from what was available: local herbs, grasses, and vegetables, along with rusty nails (for iron), and lime stone and ground-up animal bones (for calcium). Months later, Carl and his friends who ate the nutrient-rich broth emerged from their enclave much healthier than those who had eaten only army rations.

Returning to the United States, Carl set up a small laboratory and began experiments using different plant varieties. He developed a way to dry and concentrate these plants while still preserving their important nutrients. Ultimately, Carl Rehnborg created a formulation containing alfalfa, watercress, and parsley, which became the first multivitamin/multimineral supplement sold in North America. This supplement, later named NUTRILITE DOUBLE X^® multivitamin/multimineral/phytonutrient, remains the flagship product of the NUTRILITE brand today.

A New Business Model
Carl began selling his new supplement person to person, through word-of-mouth referrals. When some of these early customers began referring new customers to Carl, he suggested they sell the product themselves, rewarding them with discounts on their purchases. Just as Carl had created the first multivitamin/multimineral supplement sold in North America, he also pioneered an early multi-level marketing system – and a revolutionary new business model still in use today.

Carl F. Rehnborg passed away in 1973 at the age of 86. His grandson, Rod Rehnborg, will be accepting this award on his grandfather’s behalf. Rehnborg will be recognized for his contributions in a ceremony at Parker Seminars annual event on Wednesday, February 7, at the Las Vegas Hilton.

The Wellness Revolution
Professor Paul Zane Pilzer coined the term "Wellness Revolutionary" in his 2002 award-winning book The Wellness Revolution (Wiley Press).The Wellness Revolution Hall of Fame was founded to honor individuals who have made significant contributions to wellness — changing our world for the better one person or patient at a time. The members of the Hall of Fame have helped tens of millions of people lead happier, healthier and longer lives.

Others to be inducted include Tod Cooperman, M.D., founder of consumerlab.com; Steve Demos, founder of SILK Soymilk; Fabrizio Mancini, D.C., president of Parker College of Chiropractic and Parker Seminars; and J.I. Rodale, founder of Rodale Press (Men's Health, Prevention ); among others.

Phytochemicals - recomends these strategies for increasing their level in your diet:

Tips to increase your intake of phytochemicals

To maintain health, it is important to take at least 5 servings of fruit and vegetables. Studies have shown that the intake of fruits and vegetables increases antioxidant capacity and improve immunity. These easy (and almost free) tips can help you to increase your daily intake of phytochemicals from herbs, fruits and vegetables:

Tip 1: Eat at least 5 portions of fruits and vegetables.

The World Health Organisation recommends that we eat daily at least 5 portions of fruits and vegetables. This 5 PLUS a day strategy is adopted by many countries. The 5 PLUS a day message is the most successful health promotion idea because research has shown that eating at least five portions of fruits and vegetables each day could reduce cancer rates by 20 percent.

Tip 2: Eat more tomato ketchup

You should use tomato ketchup as condiment on your meals instead of mayonnaise. Not only does ketchup contain a lot less calories, it is rich in the phytochemical lycopene. However, you should check that it is real ketchup made from tomatoes and does not contain colourings. Lycopene is found in fresh tomatoes but cooking breaks down the cell wall and increase the availability of lycopene. Research indicates that lycopene and tomato products lower the risk of some cancers and heart diseases.

Tip 3: Eat the albedo of citrus fruis

Whenever you eat or press citrus fruits, you should also eat the albedo, which is the white part of the citrus fruit. You should not eat the coloured part, which tastes very better and could be contaminated with pesticides. Albedo tastes quite neutral and sweet. The orange flesh and juice are also healthy and loaded with vitamin C, but the albedo is very rich in pectin and the phytochemicals limonin and glucarates. The pectin of the albedo lowers your cholesterol, curbs appetite and suppresses your hunger for a few hours. The albedo is also rich in vitamin C.

Tip 4: Increase soy consumption

Soy is packed with healthy ingredients: omega-3 fatty acids, cholesterol reducing proteins and minerals. The main phytochemical in soy is isoflavone, which improves bone health, reduces risk of certain cancers and reduces menopausal symptoms.

Tip 5: Drink herbal teas

Reduce your intake of coffee and soft drinks and increase the intake of herbal tea, including ordinary tea. Today there is a large selection of teas available: camomile, linden, sage, green teas, etc.

Tip 6: Eat dried fruits as snack

You should substitute your candy and snacks with dried fruits such as prunes, apricots, dades and raisins.

Tip 7: Add herbs and spices to your meals

Spices and herbs do not only add flavour to your meals but many are loaded with phytochemicals. Try to add following herbs and spices: parsley, sage, thyme, oregano, basil, etc.

French Toast

Start with whole grain bread and soak it in a mixture of organic, omega 3 enriched eggs or egg whites with soy milk.

Save some of the mixture to pour over the top since this bread is porous. Pour it over the toast in the skillet.

In the microwave or on the stove, melt a mixture of butter or your favorite healthy substitute, cinnamon, and honey You can add some soy milk or water if you like.

Pour the mixture over the toast as it cooks. Coat both sides.

Watch the temperature and do not let your french toast burn.

Remove from the stove and serve with a little honey. It is already buttered and delicious.

Tips for Healthy Eating

From the American Heart Association:

Here are some tips for healthy eating:

• Coconut is high in saturated fat; olives and avocados are high in monounsaturated fat and calories. Use these items sparingly to avoid getting too many calories from fat.
• When vegetables, grains or legumes are cooked or processed, saturated fats or cholesterol are often added. For instance, egg yolks may be added to breads or pastas.
• Canned, processed and preserved vegetables also may contain added sodium. And in some people, too much sodium (salt) can lead to high blood pressure. Some food companies are canning vegetables with less salt. "No salt added" varieties are also available. Look for these in the market or choose fresh or frozen vegetables.
• Nuts and seeds tend to be very high in fat and calories, but most of the fat is polyunsaturated or monounsaturated (e.g., walnuts, almonds, pecans). Some varieties, such as macadamia nuts, are also high in saturated fat, so check the label. Nuts and seeds don’t have cholesterol and are good sources of protein.
