THIS WEEK: Catching Colds

QEveryone seems to be coming down with the cold. How can I avoid catching it?

AEating healthily and getting enough sleep contribute to overall good health, so it’s important to maintain these good habits during winter. If you struggle to always eat healthily, you may wish to consider a supplement, possibly one to support your immune system such as Vitamin D. To help avoid germs, wash your hands regularly with soap and water, for as long as it takes to sing Happy Birthday twice. If you’re on the go, try using travel-sized anti-viral hand gels which you can pop in your bag. You can also help shorten the duration and severity of colds by using Boots Pharmaceuticals Dual Defence (£6.99) which traps viruses before they can take hold and enter the body from the back of the nasal passage.
