Beat The Cold Virus
November 26, 2008
With the winters upon us, many of us are sniffling due to the cold virus striking at office and ruining hours of play; you can avoid that by playing your prevent defence health strategy to beat the cold virus with some effective, real-time tips that don’t all require you to tog up like an Eskimo and still help you stay above the runny noses and incessant conversation stoppers due to coughing bouts.
Here’s why you do get a cold: when you unknowingly put your gloves into your nose or when you unconsciously suck in germs if another person has sneezed or coughed in your presence. While regular hand washing takes care of the first scenario for catching a cold, the second and more common cause for catching a cold is hard to combat, as it’s typically an airborne virus attack. However, M.D. Murray Grossan, advises that if someone coughs or sneezes in your presence, if you hold your breath (as long as you can), you can actively avoid catching the cold germs from the air they dispel.
This cold season when you suspect the first tickle in your throat or experience the second sneeze or the ‘feeling down’ feeling of a winter blah, you can fight back with eating an anti-viral breakfast containing 1200 calories to boost your immune system and ensuring you have it in time (not staving off the hunger till mid-afternoon or skipping breakfast to cut fat, as early morning meals are essential for balanced dieting and combating the cold virus too). Eat early and eat big to increase blood levels of gamma interferon, which is the body’s natural antiviral agent, to 450 percent and avoid going hungry as this causes the same to decrease by 17 percent!
You can also make cold symptoms disappear by striking back at them with stress-inducing positive tasks, like taking a short memory test as these kinds of short-stress activates its immune resources so the body works extra to protect itself and stress becomes a medicine.
Alternately, brewing a caffeine-loaded cold buster like green tea helps to advance adenovirus, which stops the sniffles instantly as it contains EGCG; its most effective if the teabag is left steeped in the microwave for 10 minutes and only sweetened with honey.
