How to Protect Yourself From Cold

Indeed, the strong symptoms of cooling are the result of strong immunity, not weakness, points to expert Jennifer Ackerman in her book “Ah-Choo”.

The virus infection, which can affect us several times within a year, is global, but several myths surround us for the cold.

The symptoms of cooling are not the result of the virus's destructive influence, but the way your immunity reacts to them. Indeed, the strong symptoms of cooling are the result of strong immunity, not weakness, the expert Akman points to.

Vitamin C heals the cold?

More than 30 clinical research with more than 10,000 participants have shown that daily vitamin consumption C does not prevent cooling. His influence is to cut short the duration of symptoms.

Better without alcohol?

One or two drinks a day could reduce the likelihood of getting touched by the cold. People who do not use alcohol the most are exposed to coldness. It's possible that people who consume alcohol less are exposed to cooling, we don't have that made clear”, stated Sheldon Cohen, director of research.

Kissing a cold?

You can only kiss a cold person, you won't get sick! To this conclusion they had come, for the study had included cold people who had been kissing cold people for a minute. Of 16 cases, only one person had been infected.

Older people get sick more often?

No, no. The older you are, the more resistant you are to colding. So a 50-year-old person, for half as much as would be exposed to cooling compared to a teenager. Why? Older people have become more resistant and have developed antibodies that protect themselves from colding.
