Myth Moment
The first myth is that you catch colds only if you are stressed or your immune system is weak.
The University of Virginia Medical School of Charlottesville found that 95 % of normal adults become infected when a virus is dropped into the nose. The conclusion being that healthy immune systems are just as likely to get colds as others.
Next. You shouldn't drink milk when you have a cold because you wil produce more mucus.
Research at University of Adelaide in Australia, with people who drank up to 11 glasses of milk daily, did not find greater mucus production than those who drank no milk,
The third myth is one I am sure you have heard from your mother and more probably from your grandmother that getting chilled causes colds.
A study in the New England Journal of Medicine found that colds were no more frequent or severe in those who experienced cold drafts than those who were not.
Tune in tomorrow for some ideas to help combat/prevent cold and flu symptoms.
