Centrum tip - Avoiding the killer flu
With the flu season upon us, experts warn that the world may be on the brink of yet another killer pandemic.
Centrum tip - Flu: when to see a doctor
The influenza virus is currently wreaking havoc in some of South Africa's major cities, like Johannesburg and Cape Town, according to Health24's Flu-O-Meter.
Centrum tip - Break the fever
It's winter and it's flu time. If you're lucky, you won't be affected this year. But in case the flu does hit you, make sure you know how to break the fever.

Countrywide, flu numbers are soaring. If you haven't been affected, count yourself lucky. But be sure to boost your immune system with the foods you eat.
Centrum tip - Stop sinusitis in its tracks
The next time your child complains of a runny nose, headache and fatigue, you may have to reach for more than cold medication.
Centrum tip – Beating those flu blues
It takes the immune system about six to eight weeks to respond to flu vaccination.
Centrum tip – Something getting up your nose?
Children tend to push small objects up their noses and adults sometimes pack bits of cotton into the nose nostril to stop bleeding.

Down with the flu? Many people make the mistake to think that antibiotics could help. But as flu is caused by the influenza virus, these medications won't make a difference.

The flu season is around the corner and kids are particularly at risk. In fact, research shows that children are 1,5 to 3 times more likely to get the flu than adults.

You're training hard. Then, out of the blue, you're struck down by a nasty bout of flu. What are the implications for your exercise routine?

Colds are as much a part of winter as soup and scarves. Fortunately, over-the-counter remedies can sort out most colds – or, at least, relieve the symptoms.
Centrum tip – Prevent that terrible sore throat
Every winter, once, twice, even three times, you suffer from a scratchy throat. What can you do to prevent the agony this year?
Centrum tip – Fight flu with these foods
Use food to your advantage this winter – the right ones can cut your risk for colds and flu, and help you stay in shape.
Centrum tip – Break that fever
It's winter and it's flu time. If you're lucky, you won't be affected this year. But in case the flu does hit you, make sure you know how to break the fever.
