Trying to get the best grades and get the most work done in the limited time they are given, students often sacrifice their food and sleep, thus making themselves more susceptible to catching the flu. Students are especially vulnerable to the flu in the transitional stage between seasons. Taking a break instead and dedicating some time to using the Flu Defender, an app designed to prevent and cure flus, will help ameliorate the health of students and teachers.

The best way to avoid the flu is to know more about it—and the Flu Defender provides users with the necessary knowledge. When they open the app, users are greeted with a set of nine options, such as symptom identifier, vaccine finder, recent flu activity and prevention strategies. Even though most people overlook the flu as an easily curable illness that does not require much medical attention, preventing it in the first place will save time and strengthen the body in the process.

First and foremost, users should avert the flu by executing the three prevention strategies that are presented by the app – the main one being vaccination. Information is provided about suitable vaccinations for the various types of flus, such as the 2011-2012 flu vaccine’s effectiveness against the influenza A H3N2 virus and the 2009 H1N1 virus.

In addition, the app provides users with information they would otherwise not have had access to through a function called “Flu Smart.” Even though information about vaccinations and other prevention methods are easily available online, the facts specially provided by the Flu Defender require effort and time to search on the Internet. With Flu Smart, however, users can easily find out that the optimum time to first get vaccinated is at the age of six and view a map showing the regions where the flu is more prevalent.

As delightful as it would be to fight off every illness before being infected by it, sometimes there are extenuating circumstances that make us sick. When such situations arise, and people feel like they have caught the cold, the best solution is to look at the Flu Defender’s symptom identifier. Users can easily click on specific body parts of the labeled graphic, and select their symptoms to find out what illness they are suffering from.

As such, there are numerous ways to prevent and treat impending flus and illnesses. Instead of reviewing at the last minute for seemingly important tests, take a look at the app and realize that there are health concerns that must be taken care of before grades. The Flu Defender is the prime app that enables users to better maintain their health.
