Franklin had it right: “early to bed, early to rise, make’s a man healthy, wealthy, and wise”. Still waiting on the wealthy and wise part.
Really good, simple & sensible advice! Thanks!
Absolutely. Since my 20s I have known that the A#1 reason I have gotten sick is being tired out from lack of adequate rest during the cold weather season (which tends to run down your system by taking your body’s resources and devoting more of them to keeping you at 98.6 degrees). Also, getting massive sleep at night at the first sign of a “tickle” in the throat will often ward off the infection.
(File in the “No DUH” topic category)....
[Of course, every time I made this obvious point, along with the other obvious point that cold weather DOES “cause colds” because it RUNS DOWN YOUR SYSTEM making you susceptible to viruses, my violent, psychotic ex-wife - who always had to be ‘right’ and had to put you down in order to overcome her own sense of inner worthlessness - I guess(?) - would mockingly and robotically repeat: “Cold weather doesn’t cause colds - viruses cause colds”]
It might be a biological thing, built into the immune system for survival

Need fast check, eliminate Flu first.
Sleep and sunshine. Necessary for human health.
Sleep is certainly a major contributor to good health. Orange juice is also another overlooked weapon. Home-made vegetable soup is another good one. Hot tea with natural honey really helps as well. Drink plenty of water and avoid soft drinks.
Might also want to try cutting out or cutting back on alcohol consumption. I know people want to take the edge off but alcohol has been found to have a negative effect on the immune system.
I read somewhere that zinc lozenges are also effective against the kung flu. I have used them to shorten colds for many years - didn’t know they were useful for other viruses.
