TIPS TO AVOID COLDS
St. Louis University researchers offer cold-fighting strategies that include washing hands after shaking and avoiding touching your nose and eyes.
Dr. Mark Mengel, chairman of the Department of Community and Family Medicine at the School of Medicine, says colds are spread by a virus that rides on hands and other surfaces and thrives for up to three hours.
His other tips include: Get enough sleep, eight to 10 hours a night, to beef up your cold-fighting defenses; stop smoking, a habit that destroys the cilia, little hair-like fibers that keep mucus from clogging the nose and lung lining; pass on buffet food others have dipped in twice.
The only exercise some people get is jumping to conclusions, running down their friends, side-stepping responsibility, and pushing their luck!
