If you only have mild flu symptoms and you’re not at high risk of severe disease, you don’t need medical attention unless your illness worsens. If you are at high risk (pregnant women, young children, people with chronic medical conditions, and elderly people), call or email your doctor at the first sign of flu-like symptoms.

VIDEOS for SWINE FLU DOCTORS:

Usually swine flu does not affect humans, but the current outbreak is apparently not solely due to swine influenza virus. It is due to a new Influenza A virus subtype H1N1, which passes with apparent ease from human to human.
It is important to realize that the influenza virus changes (mutates) constantly so that there are many strains of H1N1 that differ subtly from each other. Swine flu is caused by one strain of H1N1, but there are many other strains. Some H1N1 strains only infect pigs. Others infect humans, pigs, and birds. These subtle differences matter because the human body makes antibodies that are very tailored to a single strain of influenza. If a person recovers from swine flu, they are probably protected against infection from the same swine flu strain but are not protected against infections from other strains of H1N1 viruses.

What is JAANE SHIVDASANI?

Mientras inhala, doble la rodilla derecha y lleve el talón hacia la pelvis, descansando la planta del pie derecho ligeramente en contra de la parte interna del muslo izquierdo. Mientras exhala, lleve el brazo izquierdo sobre la cabeza y tómese del pie izquierdo.If you like, place a strap around the extended foot. Hold an end of the strap in each hand as you forward bend.

History of JANU SHIRHASANA :

Sit on the floor with your buttocks lifted on a folded blanket and your legs straight in front of you. Inhale, bend your right knee, and draw the heel back toward your perineum. Rest your right foot sole lightly against your inner left thigh, and lay the outer right leg on the floor, with the shin at a right angle to the left leg =if your right knee doesn’t rest comfortably on the floor, support it with a folded blanket. Or, when you are ready, you can drop the strap and reach out with your right hand to take the inner left foot, thumb on the sole. Inhale and lift the front torso, pressing the top of the left thigh into the floor and extending actively through the left heel. Use the pressure of the left hand on the floor to increase the twist to the left. Then reach your left hand to the outside of the foot.

With the arms fully extended, lengthen the front torso from the pubis to the top of the sternum. Exhale and extend forward from the groins, not the hips. Be sure not to pull yourself forcefully into the forward bend, hunching the back and shortening the front torso. As you descend, bend your elbows out to the sides and lift them away from the floor. Lengthen forward into a comfortable stretch. The lower belly should touch the thighs first, the head last. Stay in the pose anywhere from 1 to 3 minutes. Come up with an inhalation and repeat the instructions with the legs reversed for the same length of time.
