By now almost everyone has heard the news about the spread of Swine Flu. Parents are still wondering if it will reach the school their child attends. In some areas, there is a sense of worry bordering on panic.

In a field that helps people become home business entrepreneurs, there is opportunity to talk with many people in a wide range of careers. Up until today, you may have thought that the current economy was the major factor affecting income earned. It turns out that Swine Flu can also impact daily business. During a coaching session with a customer, I learned she is concerned her events business may suffer.

In a situation where business has slowed due to the economy, her local city government may cancel all local events where there will be large gatherings of people. An events coordinator develops and coordinates events like weddings, parties, community gatherings, city meetings and ceremonies. When a virus such as Swine Flu comes along, it could be spread easily at events such as these. Other businesses, campuses, factories and places where disease could be transferred easily might experience these types of shut downs.

During these times it is important to remember you can control what you and your family do to help prevent the spread of disease and germs. There are everyday actions people can take to stay healthy.

The Center for Disease Control recommends some basics:

Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue when you cough or sneeze. Throw the tissue in the trash after you use it.

Wash your hands often with soap and water, especially after you cough or sneeze. Alcohol based hand cleaners are also effective.

Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth. Germs spread that way.

Avoid close contact with sick people.

Influenza is thought to spread mainly person to person through coughing or sneezing of infected people.

If you get sick, CDC recommends that you stay home from work or school and limit contact with others to keep from infecting them. Staying home is not an option for some people and it can be risking their job if they do not go into work. Many people do not realize that everyone has the choice of working from home at some point. Some have to work towards that goal and be employed outside the home while building their own independent source of income at home in the evenings. Most agree it is a sacrifice well worth it when they achieve their goal of being at home full time.

As a home business coach and trainer, I work with a large amount of moms who either already stay home and earn income or whom are working towards the goal of replacing their outside income so they can stay home. My primary objective is to coach and work alongside these women helping them to achieve these goals so they can live a better life with their families. In my work, I have seen that both the stay at home mom and the work outside the home mom have much common ground. They want the best life they can give their children. Overall, both groups of moms have the same concerns about their kid’s overall wellbeing in child care settings like daycare, the child care at the gym or Sunday school class. I enjoy working with these mothers to help them find solutions and bring them closer to their goals of being financially independent from the comfort of their own home.

There are a number of things you can do to reduce your chances of getting the flu. At the top of this list is maintaining a healthy digestive tract. While the flu is a respiratory infection, it always incubates in your digestive tract before moving to your lungs. A healthy GI tract can reduce the likelihood of viral replication as well as getting your immune system into gear to deal with the problem.

The whole flu process gets going by breathing it in and then swallowing, or coming into contact and then touching your face and eventually swallowing the virus. From there it goes to your digestive tract – where your first line of defense is death by hydrochloric acid. This is not a good time to be on any acid-suppressing medication – which is clearly known to double your chances of getting whatever flu comes around.

A great deal of immune system activity is constantly going on in and around your digestive tract. Half of your lymph system is located around your digestive tract to deal with “foreigner issues.” You actually have more foreign cells in your digestive tract than cells that make up your body. Your relationship with these non-self entities plays a large role in your immune competence.

For example, if you have too much Candida albicansand too much of a hostile bacteria, these issues have already strained immune function within your gut. In many cases these foreign gangs of thugs are communicating to your front line troops and telling them not to work properly. This makes it more likely that some other type of problem, such as the new Swine flu, can get a toehold in your digestive tract and begin multiplying.

During a potential pandemic you should avoid all junk food, snacking on sugar, excess alcohol, or anything else that interferes with your digestive processes. It is a top priority to maintain your digestive tract in excellent working condition.
