What can you do about swine flu? The first thing is to read the information provided by the health service in your country - in the UK the National Health Service website (http://www.nhs.uk/) provides a comprehensive guide.

The second thing to consider is what you can do for your general health and in particular your immune system which is the body's defence against viral infections.

Vitamins and Supplements

Ideally, we should get all the vitamins and minerals we need from the food that we eat. We tend to absorb nutrients more effectively if they’re in our food, rather than taken via a tablet. However, due to modern farming methods causing a depletion of micro-nutrients and our hectic lifestyles it may be difficult to obtain all the vitamins and minerals we need to obtain an ideal diet. Supplementation to our diet therefore becomes necessary to maintain good health.

With the supplements available at shops today, it’s possible for any of us to exceed the recommended daily intake of many vitamins and minerals. But beware: more doesn’t always mean better. If you take supplements, you need to know what you’re taking, and the possible consequences. Research suggests, for example, that having more than 1.5 miligrams of vitamin A every day over a period of years could make your bones weaker and more likely to fracture. Taking large doses of vitamin C can cause stomach pain and diarrhoea. With many vitamins and minerals, little evidence exists on the long-term benefits or harms that may come with large regular doses.

There are circumstances, though, in which specific supplements are recommended. Pregnant women are advised to take:

- 400 micrograms of folic acid a day, to reduce the chances of birth defects.
- A daily vitamin D supplement. This is also recommended for breastfeeding women.
