Common Cold Strains: Prevention and new research

Why can't scientists create a vaccine against the common cold? As the "rhino-virus" gets more study, answers reveal how the strains develop. Furthermore, the cold strains change and vary as they afflict humans. Watch Dr. Timothy Johnson describe some new information about the common cold in this brief video clip:



Avoid sick people! Yes, this is important. But it does become a social contraversy. Should sick and contagious co-workers stay home from work? What if they need that income, and they take medicine to disguise symptoms?

EXERCISE is one of the TOP immune system boosters that you can do yourself, naturally! Don't skimp on your exercise during cold and flu season!

Focus on getting good-quality sleep.

Also, reduce stress at home and work. Create more relaxing, peaceful environments around you. Stressed-out bodies attract sickness.

Exercising out a cold: detox and sweat your sickness away

Is it possible to exercise a cold or flu out of your body? Can sweating and detoxing get rid of sickness? Some doctors think so. Watch this video to figure out if it's the way to relief and better health (then read below for the contraversial other-side to this story!):



Although this approach might get sick folks headed to the gym, Not So Fast!...
In the first stages of being sick, you are highly contagious. Any trip out in public will get others sick. This is especially true in a gym, where you are breathing "stale" (recirculating) air in a confined space, plus you exchange sweat and bodily fluids everywhere.
Also, in the early stages of sickness, your body needs to use its energy to heal. Too often, people get back into exercise without giving their bodies a chance to heal. Instead of feeling better, their cold/flu never goes away. Your energy is now getting diverted to exercise instead of healing. So, you stay sick longer.

Instead of heading to the gym as soon as you can, take some time to rest and recover. If you get back into exercising too soon, you will make others sick and you will stay sick.
