Today, I want to share a little bit about what I learned from the Spanish Flu Pandemic of 1918. 

This is an interesting story about an incredibly deadly flu. It’s estimated that the Spanish flu caused 50 to 100 million deaths worldwide. 

Interesting things about the 1918 flu pandemic:

1. They didn’t really die from the virus itself. The majority of deaths occurred because of:

• ARDS

• Superinfection

2. Many of these deaths involved people in their 20’s. Why?

• People were getting too much aspirin. 

• Four years earlier, there was a huge shift in diet. There was a lot more canned food, which decreases zinc in food. There also wasn’t much of a variety of food available. This caused nutritional deficiencies. 

• The 1918 Spanish flu pandemic occurred in January, which is the peak time for vitamin D deficiencies. In the winter months, the risk of illnesses like upper respiratory infections goes way up.

What is the main thing I’ve learned from the flu pandemic? — The importance of nutrition. There is a link between nutritional deficiencies and health problems. Getting the nutrients you need is one of the most important factors in preventing health problems.
