There really is no 100% way to avoid getting sick or preventing the common cold. But one of the best ways to avoid it is to wash your hands before eating, when preparing food, even after using someone else’s phone at work. Or even when your done working out, touching the machines, someone else’s sweaty dumbbells and laying on drenched sweaty stretch mats. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve seen grown men leave the bathroom without washing their hands – even after going number 2!
According to the U.S. National Institutes of Health, colds can occur any time of year, but they mostly affect people during winter. When someone has a cold, their nose is teeming with a virus that is spread when they cough, sneeze or touch something. People are most contagious during the first two or three days of a cold. So take in plenty of vitamin C and drink plenty of water to keep your body clean and germ free.
