BÀI ĐỌC – HIỂU – TRUE/FALSE
Head the following passage and decide whether the statements are True or False.
The flu jab: The flu jab is one possible way to prevent flu. The injection can be given by your local doctor or at the hospital. When vims proteins are injected into the blood, your body recognizes them as foreign and makes antibodies. The antibodies are then ready to fight the flu vims if you are unlucky enough to catch it. Research shows that, on average, having a flu jab reduces your chances of getting flu by 60-80 percent. Some people feel tired or experience flu-like symptoms for a few days after the jab.
Vitamins: If you don’t like the idea of having an injection, you could try taking vitamin supplements. Vitamin c is effective; however, taking vitamin c when you already have the flu won’t cure you. If you take it before you get the flu, it can help to reduce the length and severity of the illness. Another viable choice is the Cod liver oil. It may taste unpleasant, but it is full of vitamins A and D, which help fight germs.
Healthy lifestyle: By choosing a healthy lifestyle, you will reduce stress and help your body protect itself from the flu. Make sure you do some kind of exercise three times a week for at least 20 minutes. You also need to have balanced diet. Do not eat fried or smoke food. Try to eat as much fresh fruit and vegetables as possible - at least five portions a day. Choose fiber rich vegetables like carrots, broccoli and oats. Eat foods which are rich in zinc, such as potatoes, liver and whole wheat bread.
