Dr. Oliver Abbushi:
“I would recommend every citizen to deal with the
flu vaccination
as soon as possible
to deal with.
Certain
population groups in
particular
should be vaccinated as a matter of urgency.
On the one hand, there are the
chronically ill,
who
take
medication
,
suffer from
high blood pressure
or a
lung
disease.
On the other hand, there are patients who live in
retirement homes
.
In the care situation,
relatives
should
turn to
family doctors
and give a signal that relatives in homes
need
a
vaccination
.
I also advise that
children
and
schoolchildren get vaccinated
.
Simply to avoid
suspected cases
in schools and to protect the environment.
Everyone else can consider getting vaccinated.
A
flu vaccination
is
currently
so important because it avoids a
double infection
with
corona
and
flu
.
Risk patients
would find it difficult to cope with it.
On the other hand, it is important to take
pressure off
the
health system
through
protection against
the
flu
. "

Angela Paek, 55, alternative practitioner from Oberhaching:
“The
pharmacy of nature
offers a comprehensive range of
medicinal plants
available
to strengthen
your own
body
defenses.
Their ingredients work synergistically and support our
immune system
so that we can cope well with virulent times.
Horseradish
and
nasturtiums
have a
germ-inhibiting
effect
, fresh
ginger roots
provide
vitamin C
and warm from the inside.
Black currants
have
immune-boosting
and
anti-inflammatory
effects on the mouth and mucous membranes.
And
black elderberry
is a juice that
strengthens the
home remedy and has proven itself for generations.
Even if
homeopathic
remedies are sometimes criticized, I don't want to miss them in everyday practice.
Swallowweed, for example, has
often proven to be effective
in
therapy
and
prophylaxis
. "

Dr. Peter Aurnhammer, 51, pharmacist from Ismaning:
“
What we are all doing at the moment helps
against
cold and flu viruses
:
washing hands
,
keeping
your
distance
and
wearing
face
masks.
In addition, it makes sense
to do
moderate
exercise.
That means
jogging
or
cycling
in the
fresh air for
around
half an hour
.
Extreme sports
like marathons, on the other hand, tend to be
harmful
.
In addition, a
healthy
and
balanced diet
with sufficient
vitamin C
helps us
.
Those who cannot accommodate this in everyday life can also take
vitamins, zinc
and
selenium
in the form of tablets or drops to keep the
immune system fit
.
A tip: The absorption of vitamin C is more effective if the doses are taken throughout the day.
The body can only absorb certain amounts.
Everyone can, for example, eat orange wedges or drink lemon water throughout the day. "
