Today I have a guest article by one of the leaders in the health supplement industry. Today you'll discover how to be healthier this winter by learning how to deal with viruses!
Steer Clear of Noro!
While most of us are trying to protect ourselves from the Flu, or even recuperating from it, there’s another group of highly contagious viruses we should be looking out for, Noroviruses. The name sounds like something out of a sci-fi movie, but you are actually very familiar with these viruses and chances are that you’ve come across a form on the Norovirus in your life; maybe even more than once. Most of us know them as the stomach flu or food poisoning. Additionally, there are many strains and no vaccination or treatment for noroviruses. Recent reports have shown a high number of Norovirus cases worldwide.
In the United States, Noroviruses are the most common cause of gastroenterisis, the inflammation of the stomach and intestines that cause stomach cramping, vomiting, and diarrhea. The CDC estimates that each year more than 20 million cases of acute gastroenteritis are caused by noroviruses. That means about 1 in every 15 Americans will get a norovirus illness each year. Norovirus is also estimated to cause over 70,000 hospitalizations and 800 deaths each year in the United States alone!1
As big of a problem as this is, you’d think that we would take more measures to prevent ourselves from contracting the norovirus, especially because there is not any known method of treatment. If you get sick, you simply have to let the virus run its course and symptoms usually last 1 to 2 days, and unfortunately, this virus can spread quickly especially in crowded places.
Yes, this is slightly alarming, however, there are ways to prevent yourself and loved ones from having to deal with this uncomfortable illness.
- Make hygiene a priority and wash your hands frequently, especially after using the bathroom, changing diapers, and before eating and preparing food.
- Be sure to wash your fruits and veggies and cook your food thoroughly.
- If you’re sick, try not to spread the virus. Clean and disinfect areas, wash your laundry thoroughly, and do not prepare food for others.
Being sick, especially with norovirus, is never pleasant. Take extra steps to prevent yourself from contacting this virus by using Youngevity’s PureWorks products. Make sure you have PureWorks Antibacterial soap in your bathrooms and kitchen and be sure to keep PureWorks Antibacterial Foam handy, in case you’re out somewhere are you can’t find soap to wash your hands with.
Remember, hygiene and disinfection is they key in preventing Norovirus!
Until next week,
Best Wishes for Ultimate Health and Majestic Dreams!
