Hope that helps
I thought the "give it to me raw" response was pretty good. Eat good foods, exercise, get enough sleep, etc. I don't believe that eating raw can always keep you from getting sick. But, I think the healthy choices involved decrease your chances.
I agree =)
Bottom line: wash your hands, wash your hands, wash your hands. Keep your hands away from your eyes, nose & mouth. Wash your hands. Try to avoid people who are ill. Wash your hands. If you believe that eating raw keeps you healthier, that's a good part of the battle. Wash your hands. The mind-body connection is real. Wash your hands. While I don't think viruses care what we eat, a healthy body has an easier job of fighting viruses off. By the way, wash your hands. :)
We started washing our hands with diluted Dr. Bronner's soap instead of the anti-bacterial soaps that also kill the good bacteria. Does anybody know if Dr. Bronner's soap really would help to keep the bad bacteria off of the hands to prevent viruses???
i know tea tree is anti-viral for the skin.
Certainly it is overblown, but it's also a "teachable moment" in terms of the issues it forces people to think about.
I don't fear on my own behalf, but I do not for a minute think zoonotic diseases should be taken lightly.
