Can Back and Neck Pain Relief Go Hand-in-Hand With Flu Prevention?

In an insightful article on WebMD, the author discusses "12 Tips to Prevent a Cold." Many of them are rather obvious (such as wash your hands and get plenty of sleep), but some others are a little less known.

I've taken the time to highlight those lessor known flu prevention tips because, interestingly enough, they also coincide with a few neck and back pain relief strategies in the book "Powerful Strategies for Back and Neck Pain Relief."

Why do you think this might be?

Because pain is a sign that something is not working correctly in your body - perhaps it's your health, balance, nutrition or even emotional reasons.

As you'll discover, in most cases, a pain-free body goes hand-in-hand with a healthy body.

Cold and flu prevention - naturally - WebMD:

"#4 Drink Plenty of Fluids
Water flushes your system, washing out the poisons as it rehydrates you. A typical, healthy adult needs eight 8-ounce glasses of fluids each day. How can you tell if you're getting enough liquid? If the color of your urine runs close to clear, you're getting enough. If it's deep yellow, you need more fluids.

#7 Do Aerobic Exercise Regularly
Aerobic exercise speeds up the heart to pump larger quantities of blood; makes you breathe faster to help transfer oxygen from your lungs to your blood; and makes you sweat once your body heats up. These exercises help increase the body's natural virus-killing cells.

#8 Eat Foods Containing Phytochemicals
'Phyto' means plants, and the natural chemicals in plants give the vitamins in food a supercharged boost. So put away the vitamin pill, and eat dark green, red, and yellow vegetables and fruits.

#10 Don't Smoke
Statistics show that heavy smokers get more severe colds and more frequent ones.
Even being around smoke profoundly zaps the immune system. Smoke dries out your nasal passages and paralyzes cilia. These are the delicate hairs that line the mucous membranes in your nose and lungs, and with their wavy movements, sweep cold and flu viruses out of the nasal passages. Experts contend that one cigarette can paralyze cilia for as long as 30 to 40 minutes."

To a pain free life in good health,
