Let’s get together to REMEMBER

You and your family are invited to attend a Christmas Memorial Service in Memory of your loved one.

Not everyone feels like celebrating at Christ-mastime; no one understands this more than we do. That’s why we have a gathering every year to remember those we’ve lost.

We don’t expect you to feel like celebrating, but you might just feel better. Come join us; you’ll be among friends.

We hope you will come and join us for this service of remembrance and a opportunity to meet and share with others who have suffered loss.

(StatePoint) It’s cold and flu season again, so it’s time for a refresher course on what you can do to keep your family healthy.

Most people know colds are less severe than influenza, but they’re often unsure about specific symptoms. For example, the flu is often accompanied by a high fever (between 101 and 104 degrees Fahrenheit), and can cause extreme exhaustion that can last from two to three weeks. A cold usually lasts only a few days.

If you’d like to avoid using up those sick days, here are some tips to help you avoid colds and flu.

Become a germ-a-phobe

Maybe you don’t need to become a full-blown hypochondriac, but a little fastidiousness in areas of public hygiene can go a long way in avoiding illness this season.

Put distance between you and anybody displaying symptoms like coughing or sneezing. Wash your hands thoroughly and often, using an alcohol-based sanitizing gel or wipe if water and soap aren’t available. Frequently disinfect high hand-traffic items, such as doorknobs and

keyboards. Be sure to get

sufficient rest, exercise and eat right, including plenty of vegetables and fresh fruit. Foods rich in vitamins A, C and E, help maintain a healthy immune system.

Most importantly, get your annual flu shot! This year for the first time, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is recommending everyone ages six months and older get the flu shot. However, remember it takes a few weeks after your shot to begin reaping flu-fighting benefits.

Give Your Booster a Boost

While most flu vaccines are 70 to 90 percent effective, efficacy can be less in the elderly or individuals with immune system problems. Either way, you may also want to consider giving your booster shot a boost.

“A unique, natural compound extracted from Japanese medicinal mushrooms, known as AHCC, can enhance the power of the seasonal flu shot. All you need is one gram per day for immune system maintenance and three grams per day when fighting an infection,” says Dr. Lawrence P.

Kempf, a New York City internist who recently researched the ability of AHCC to boost the flu vaccine. “AHCC helps increase certain white blood cells, which help the body fight off viruses and infections, and also activates the immune system when the body is under attack.”

AHCC can be easily found at health food stores and natural grocery outlets, and can also be purchased online at kinokoAHCC.com.

When You Must, Admit Defeat

If you do contract a cold or flu, the best thing to do is stay home and avoid spreading it to others. Rest and plenty of fluids will help your recovery more than work and stress.

It’s also important you take any medications prescribed by your doctor, such as antivirals. Different from antibiotics, antiviral drugs can shorten the time you are sick and prevent serious flu complications.

And if you’re under the weather, make sure you sneeze into a tissue or your elbow to avoid spreading germs to others!
