Cold season is upon us as winter is in full effect. As this is the most vulnerable time of the year when it comes to catching a cold, I thought I’d share a few tips that may help you to avoid catching that dreaded bug.
Everyone is different and every bug is different as well, and there are never any guarantees or any magical cures for your cold but they sometimes work and they might just do the trick for you.
My first recommendation is one that I’d recommend taking fully seriously. Try to get as much sleep as you’re able to. The biggest cause of catching a cold is a broken down immune system, and a lack of adequate sleep can easily play a part in weakening the strength of your immune system.
A good nights sleep will cure a lot of nasty illnesses, why should it be any different when it comes to a cold? If you body remains tired then your immune system will also be ‘tired’ and weak, increasing your chances of becoming ill.
If you have travelled by bus or train or been to a place where there were a lot of people then it’s a good idea to wash your hands regularly. Germs spread around via the most unlikely of surfaces and it’s best to keep them at bay with a good wash.
If you don’t have access to soap, try out some antibacterial hand sanitizer. You can easily carry this around in your pocket, applying it regularly on the go as needed.
The most important thing is to keep yourself topped up on fruits. Fruits hold all the vital nutrients that will help your immune system to fight off the bugs plus eating the right fruits will give you a burst of energy throughout the day.
Try these things out and your bodies will definitely be in better shape. Hopefully they’ll be strong enough to fight off the threat of any cold!
