Flu Season Tips 2022

With all the health hubbub of the last couple of years, one illness has been waiting in the wings for us to let our guards down and forget about it. The flu, or influenza virus, is just as dangerous as it’s ever been, and the upcoming flu season could wreak havoc if we’re not prepared for it.

It’s critical to keep yourself and your family informed, prepared, and safe from the flu. The flu is not only a nasty bout of sickness that could temporarily derail your life, it has also been linked to long-term symptoms and adverse health outcomes for some people.

Here, we’re sharing our most important tips for fighting the flu. Yes, you should eat well, exercise, and make sure that you’re living a healthy lifestyle. We all know that, so we’re going to cut to the chase and get to the most important weapons you can use in a battle against the upcoming flu season, as well as the best ways to fight the common cold, a year-round threat.

Flu vs. Common Cold

First of all, it’s important to distinguish between the flu and the common cold. Both can be debilitating, but the common cold doesn’t typically knock you out as badly as the flu does. They share similar symptoms, such as congestion, nausea, headaches, aches and pain, and runny nose. Where the flu stands out is a burning fever and more intense symptoms than the common cold.

In fact, having the flu can lead to hospitalization and even death, especially for people with weaker immune systems, like children, older adults, and people with chronic medical conditions. The last pandemic was due to the influenza virus. The Spanish Flu pandemic killed 50-100 million people worldwide!

Treatments for Common Cold Symptoms

Symptoms of the common cold can be treated with over the counter pain medications, especially the early symptoms. Look for an NSAID (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug), like ibuprofen, aspirin, or naproxen.

You could also try OTC cough suppressants, like lozenges. If you want to be more aggressive with your cough suppressant, you can look for a medicine that includes dextromethorphan, which works to block your cough reflex.

If you want to clear your lungs, instead of suppressing your cough, you should look for medicines that include expectorant. A good example would be guaifenesin, which thins and loosens mucus in airways and lungs, making coughs more productive in mucus-clearing.

For congestion, try a decongestant like phenylephrine, which shrinks blood vessels in sinus, reducing blood flow and swelling, allowing air to pass more freely through the nose.

Treatment for the Flu

While many of the same medicines that can help you with your common cold symptoms can also help you with those same symptoms as they arise due to the flu, at the ed of the day, the flu is a different illness, and needs some extra muscle if you want to clear it out quickly and completely.

That’s where oseltamivir (generic for Tamiflu™) comes in.

Oseltamivir: How Does it Work?

We’ll start with the nitty gritty of oseltamivir, and how it works to combat the flu in your body.

It is an antiviral neuraminidase inhibitor that specifically targets the influenza virus neuraminidase. So what does that mean?

The influenza virus neuraminidase is an enzyme that is required for influenza viral replication. With an inhibitor targeting this enzyme, it loses its ability to contribute to the influenza replication process in your body, helping your healthy cells to stay healthy by interfering with the release of the virus from infected host cells, and halting the spread of the infection to new host cells. 

Because it works on a cellular level to attack the virus, oseltamivir is more effective the more quickly you take it after noticing flu symptoms, or after known exposure to the flu. Depending on when you take it in the viral cycle, and your personal health factors, oseltamivir can shorten the length of flu symptoms by .5 to 3 full days. 

It’s safe and effective, and helps people get back on their feet quickly, which is why multiple national advisory boards endorse the use of oseltamivir ASAP for people with influenza.

Stop the Flu Before it Starts

While oseltamivir is an incredible option for people experiencing the flu, at Seven Cells, we believe that maintaining optimal health should include protocols to prevent illness altogether. Our lives are too busy, and we have too many responsibilities, to allow ourselves to get bogged down by sickness if we can help it.

If you’re the kind of person who wants to maintain peak physical health for longevity and to avoid sickness, you might consider talking to one of our medical professionals about incorporating prescription-strength Vitamin D into your health arsenal. Here’s why.

When You Don’t Get Enough Vitamin D

Most people think about vitamin d in terms of its role in strengthening your muscles and bones. However, we’re finding out that vitamin d plays a huge role in processes throughout your body, and a vitamin D deficiency means more than a weaker musculoskeletal structure.

Suffering from a Vitamin D deficiency can lead to a gamut of different symptoms that can affect every aspect of your health, including fatigue, bone pain, muscle weakness, cramps, and even mood changes like depression.

But that’s not all.

Being deficient in Vitamin D can also make you more susceptible to illness, by leading to an increased susceptibility to infection and autoimmunity. That’s because vitamin D can modulate innate and adaptive immune responses, including your all-important T-cell responses. 

Vitamin D can also potently enhance autophagy. Autophagy is a process that works kind of like a cellular self-cleaning that helps your body’s cells regenerate newer, healthier cells. This is a critical process that helps to remove cellular toxins, recycle residual proteins, and helps your body repair. Researchers are looking into how autophagy can work as a therapy for cancer, because of its cellular regenerative processes.

Vitamin D may also play an important role in combating intracellular pathogens and viral infections, like and influenza infection.

Put simply, Vitamin D is critical to the proper functioning of all systems in your body. A vitamin D deficiency could seriously put your health at risk, and could make you more vulnerable wi=hen this year’s flu season comes in strong and nasty.
