Common cold is most frequent infection in all age groups. A strong immune system is the best defense against all infections, colds included. The best way is eating well, not smoking, and drinking plenty of water every day. Minimize contact with people who have colds, and don’t share towels, and other things with them. Cold viruses often survive for hours in the open, on doorknobs, money and other surfaces, so wash your hands frequently.

When you have a cold, stay at home for the first two days. When you sneeze it can carry your cold virus up to 4 metres away, so always cover your mouth when you sneeze or cough.

Regular exercise such as walking for 45 minutes, five times a week helps to strengthen the immune system and makes you less likely to get colds and other infections. Saunas may also help:

Swedish researches have evidence that taking at least two saunas each week can keep you from catching to a cold.
