There is nothing published by the National Library of Medicine that proves colds or flu can be prevented using these methods. Eating plenty of chicken soup, another, older cold remedy, succeeds because the soup rehydrates the body with salts and minerals that are lost during illness. An infection is the body s way of telling you to slow down.
Social pressures are the most counter-productive element facing a person trying to stay healthy.
The rush to return to whatever it is that was put on hold is the main reason why people never get well completely and continuously battle illness and infection. Feeling sick when you get an infection is normal. Attempting to alter this process is not beneficial because the sickness can be prolonged. This might mean that for a time you won t get sick, but a low-grade infection will eventually rise again, resulting in the sickness lasting for a longer time. Ensuring proper health and wellness is simple.
