SUNSHINE and weight loss could be the key to avoiding a severe bout of swine flu - and it all comes down to inflammation. -- The Sun
Vitamin D - which our bodies make from sunshine - protects against a number of inflammatory conditions including heart disease, multiple sclerosis and rheumatoid arthritis, and the latest discovery, inflammation of the lungs due to H1N1/A.
Obesity, on the other hand, increases the output of inflammatory body chemicals, doubling the risk of death from the new flu.
So, go outdoors and get active - but wash your hands as soon as you get home.
