An insightful article on WebMD offers 12 Tips to Prevent a Cold. Many of them are rather obvious (such as wash your hands and get plenty of sleep), but numbers 7 & 8 are a little less known (aerobic exercise & eating healthy).
Cold and flu prevention - naturally - WebMD:
"#7 Do Aerobic Exercise Regularly
Aerobic exercise speeds up the heart to pump larger quantities of blood; makes you breathe faster to help transfer oxygen from your lungs to your blood; and makes you sweat once your body heats up. These exercises help increase the body's natural virus-killing cells.
#8 Eat Foods Containing Phytochemicals
'Phyto' means plants, and the natural chemicals in plants give the vitamins in food a supercharged boost. So put away the vitamin pill, and eat dark green, red, and yellow vegetables and fruits."
Would you be surprised to learn that these are two essential ingredients to lose belly fat and get rid of love handles? Are you aware than many of the little known fat burning foods are also high in photochemicals?
This is because, more times than not, good health and a slender body come hand-in-hand.
