There is not an exact protection to prevent flu except having a flu shot before you get flu and before winter season. But you can make stronger your immune system by eating healthy and taking vitamin C around the day . You can take up to 1000 mg per day but divide dose into pieces and take them around the day because vitamin C is water soluble and if body does not need it ,it goes away with urine . So taking 1000 mg at once is not a good choice , Then taking other vitamins e,a, d is very important for immune system too . You can use flax seed they really work if you take them properly everyday . You can take 3 sugar spoon per day . And you can also use flax seed oil but I prefer original form . It is more natural .
You should not get in touch infected people because they may spread flu .

Stay away from your Mom, wash your hands regularly, and don't touch your face with your hands, unless there's soap on them.
