The swine flu (H1N1 influenza) is sweeping across the world, sickening thousands and killing hundreds. But the key to staying healthy might be a simple acai berry supplement. Antioxidants and fatty acids found in the acai berry have been proven to keep your immunity system in good working order.

The swine flu, so far, has hit people with weak immunity systems — likely from the high pollution found in Mexico City and surrounding areas.

Thus far, the deaths in America have been limited, but that could change with a simple mutation of the virus.

Now, people are scrambling to buy masks to protect themselves, but they are no guarantee that you won’t contract the virus. One touch of a germy doorknob or handrail and a quick itch of the eye means your mask is useless.

More and more people are opting not to get the masks in lieu of simply staying healthy. Having a healthy diet — at least mostly healthy — and finding good antioxidants such as those found in the acai berry are the key to staying in peak physical performance.

So protect yourself from the swine flu and get some acai berry supplements before you start feeling sick.
