I haven't had a cold in 10 years. It's true. I don't even know what the word sniffle means. I think if my body ever did come down with a cold again it wouldn't even know how to deal with it. And no, I haven't found a cure for the common cold. What I've found is some common sense living that I'm going to pass along to you in this article. You may not go 10 years without a cold, but you will certainly feel a lot better than you do now.The actual common cold is caused by a variety of viruses. But the underlying cause of getting a cold is not the virus itself. The cause is allowing ourselves to get run down. Not enough sleep, improper diet and just an overall unhealthy lifestyle are the things that allow these viruses to invade our bodies and make us ill, sometimes violently so. If it sounds like I am saying that by simply getting enough rest and eating well would be enough to ward off a common cold, well, in a sense, yes, that's exactly what I am saying.The only reason that we even have symptoms when we come down with a cold is because this is our body's immune system fighting off whatever foreign invaders have happened to land on our doorstep. So in a sense, if you feel like hell, at least that means your body's immune system is working. But it doesn't have to come down to that. There is no reason to have to suffer from these terrible symptoms. No, dangerous drugs are not the answer. Healthy eating, vitamins and plenty of rest are the answers.There are a number of natural things you can do to get rid of your cold quickly once you get one. The most important is to take lots of vitamin C. You can safely take 5000 units a day because vitamin C is passed through the urine. Drinking lots of fluids is very important. When we become ill, our bodies have a tendency to dehydrate, so drinking fluids actually becomes critical.Herb teas are excellent for when you have a cold. Herbs have healing properties that will help get you back on your feet in no time. Drinking fresh fruit juices (not bottled or can) is also very good. Go get yourself an orange squeezer. It's well worth the investment.The most important thing though, and this is what most people just don't get, is that when you get a cold, you have to get plenty of rest. Many people drag themselves to work thinking that they can work through it. This is a big mistake and what causes most colds to become something much worse. Your job will still be there in the morning. You might not be if you don't take care of yourself.By following the above tips, there is no reason you can't fight off a cold without having to take harmful medications. I don't even take an aspirin anymore. So it can be done.To YOUR Health,Steve Wagner
