Generally speaking, you will be better equipped to fight off a viral infection if you have a strong immune system, but the only thing that will give you full protection is to have immunity developed from having had the same type of flu before, or from taking a vaccination against that specific flu strain.

An added aid for your body to use to help protect you from Swine Flu, would be use of the anti-viral medications that are being prescribed to help fight the influenza viruses, such as Tamiflu and Relenza.
