3 Tips for Preventing a Cold, and 10 More If You've Got One
Vitality101 Newsletter
Hello Reader,
It's cold and flu season again. And it's not only the holidays that make this time of year so expensive. Because Americans collectively suffer a billion colds every year, shelling out $3.5 billion annually for doctors and nonprescription treatments.
Many colds are caused by viruses such as the rhinovirus. The rhinovirus stampedes even harder than its namesake African beast. The flu virus is even worse than a cold, each year costing Americans $10 billion while sending 240,000 to the hospital and killing another 36,000. And flu shots are no guarantee you won't be a victim. In a recent two-year period, flu shots were only 44% effective in preventing the flu.
In this article I'll share simple, smart and inexpensive ways you and your family can shorten the length and severity of a cold or flu — or better yet prevent them — by increasing the strength of your virus-fighting immune system. I also shed light on whether or not people with CFS and fibromyalgia should get an annual flu shot.
Tis the season to be happy, jolly and merry. Not miserable with a cold or flu!
