Having the flu is never fun. Of course you want to get rid of it as quickly as possible. So how can you recover from the flu quickly? You can read about it in this article.

During a flu epidemic, many people suffer from the same flu symptoms. This is because the same virus affects many people. Often the symptoms start out mild and become more troublesome later on. These are the most common complaints of this unpleasant virus:

• Fever, accompanied by shivering;
• Headache, especially a throbbing or nagging pain;
• Muscle pain in the back, arms and legs;
• Fatigue and weakness;
• Sore throat, irritation in the throat and difficulty swallowing;
• Dry cough and cold;
• Dizziness;
• Stuffy nose or runny nose.

Sometimes you may also experience nausea, vomiting or diarrhoea. It is useful to know that the flu often starts mildly and does not start suddenly like a cold. It is also easier to recover quickly from a cold.

The duration of the symptoms varies from person to person, but the first few days are often the worst for most people. The average flu lasts 5-7 days. Some people suffer from fatigue and weakness for weeks afterwards. How long you suffer from symptoms depends on a number of factors, such as your age, physical condition and the strength of your immune system. Fortunately, there are ways to boost your immune system, such as with intranasal red light therapy.

Take all the rest you can when you are ill. Your body needs energy to fight off a virus, so get plenty of sleep and relax without forcing yourself.

It is very important to stay hydrated, especially because you may have a reduced appetite. Water, herbal tea and broth will help you stay hydrated, loosen mucus and remove waste products from your body more quickly.

Make sure you only eat healthy food. Eat meals with lots of vitamins and minerals to support your immune system and to give you energy. Light meals such as vegetable soup or fruit and wholemeal products are good to eat now.

Stress increases cortisol levels, which can weaken the immune system. Take time to relax and make sure you require as little physical and mental exertion as possible for a number of days.

While you sleep, your body is busy repairing itself and fighting viruses. Make sure you get 7-9 hours of sleep a night, or more if you need it.

Intranasal red light therapy, light therapy administered through the nose, can be very helpful in supporting your immune system and making it stronger. This can help you beat the flu faster or even prevent it. You can read more about red light therapy for the flu a little further on.

After having been ill for a while, you may find that your resistance is lower. It is important to strengthen this so that you can fight off the flu or other viruses in the future. Here is how you can increase your resistance:

• Eat healthily with plenty of vitamins and minerals;
• Get enough sleep;
• Exercise regularly;
• Avoid stress;
• Drink enough water;
• Ensure healthy intestinal flora;
• Ensure you get enough fresh air;
• Use red light therapy (as a preventative measure).

These points are not only important after you have been ill, but are the key to a healthier life. They allow you to strengthen your immune system, making you less susceptible to viruses and giving you more energy.

Red light therapy can support your immune system by stimulating the mitochondria in your cells. This can strengthen your body, making it easier for you to fight off viruses or recover more quickly after illness. It can also reduce inflammation, improve your blood flow and reduce the symptoms of flu or a cold.

This form of light therapy can therefore be used not only when you are ill, but also preventatively. This helps the natural processes in your body, making you stronger and giving you more energy.

With red light therapy from IN-light, it is possible to treat or prevent the flu. This form of laser therapy acts directly on the mitochondria. This can strengthen your immune system, give you more energy and allow you to recover more quickly from viruses.

The IN-light laser can be used anywhere. At home on the sofa, in bed, while walking or at work. This way you don't have to make time and you have access to this form of light therapy anywhere. This way you can treat your flu without any effort!
