Catching Colds

Can I catch a cold by being in the cold?

It's an old wives' tale that you can catch a cold by running around in the cold without a hat on. Research shows that being chilled or wet has no effect on whether or not people caught the common cold.

What does matter, is the condition of your immune system. When your body is run down and depleted in proper nutrients it weakens your immune system and makes it difficult for your body to fight off those bugs.

Get plenty of rest, eat well, and be happy.
