How You Can Very Likely Stop Yourself From Catching A Cold

By Tara Fisher

Everyone hates to catch a cold, and winter is here already and you may be finding it hard to keep the germs away. You are at your most vulnerable during winter so I have compiled a few bits of advice to get you fit for fighting off the bug.

Obviously, there aren't any fast cures for cold but I can suggest a few things that will help to prevent you from catching something.

You must get as much sleep as you can, not too much of course but the normal eight hours is sufficient. We all know that in the present day and age it can be hard just getting that many. However, without it, your immune system will be left weakened and as a result, your body will be defenceless to any lurking bugs.

So to lessen the chances of catching a cold, get a good night's sleep and keep your immune system up to strength.

Keeping your hands clean is essential for halting the spread of germs. When you come home from being out, if you have been on a busy bus with a lot of people then it's good to scrub those bugs off from your skin. The more bugs you get rid of through washing the less chance of catching them

Sanitizing gel is a great way to keep your hands clean when you don't have access to running water or soap. They usually come in a handy portable size that you can keep in your bag or pocket but don't just forget it's there, use it as often as you need to.

Fruit is essential to any diet but is more important when there are nasty bugs floating around. You need the vitamins and antioxidants that they provide to help your immune system fight off the germs and not only will they give your immune system a kick start they will give you a nice energy lift to help you through your 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!
