Five
Ways to Fend Off Colds
Dr. Sanjay Mohan Ram, BSc (Hon), ND
 Why me? You think, as you feel yet another sore throat coming on. You get a flu shot and take multivitamins so why should you keep getting sick? If you seem to catch every bug that comes around, you might want to take a close look at your everyday habits.
1. Lather, rinse, repeat
You already know that frequent hand washing is a good health standard. The best avoidance strategy for colds and flu viruses is aggressive hand washing after every public encounter where there is a risk of contaminated surfaces which you may touch. You do not need antibacterial soaps – they cause the formation of resistant bacteria. Moreover, the flu shot is ineffective because it is based on last year’s flu strain.
2. Eat well
In general, having a well-balanced diet is helpful in maintaining strong immunity. Eating lower amounts of whole-grain carbohydrates is a good idea. Be sure to get omega-3 fatty acids (found in fish, dark leafy greens and some nuts and seeds) and omega-6 fatty acids (found in eggs, poultry and whole-grain breads), which are essential to healthy eating. Also, a good supplement with the antioxidants Vitamin A, C and E, as well as Selenium help boost the immune system.
3. Sweat it away
Sticking to a regular exercise routine can also help keep the doctor away. Find an activity you enjoy -- walking the dog, an aerobics video or hopping on the step machine at the gym -- and you’ll reap the benefits. Weight training and Infra-red saunas are also immune stimulating.
4. Get some shut-eye
Yes, it’s hard to get the recommended eight hours with all you’ve got going on, but now is not the time to skimp on sleep. According to the Better Sleep Council of Canada, sleep deprivation lowers the immune system, making us more susceptible to colds and flus throughout the year. The amount of sleep needed to stay healthy varies with each individual -- aiming for seven to eight hours of sleep a night is a safe net.
5. Calm down
Intermittent short-term stress can actually stimulate the immune system, but sustained intense (stress) corrodes it. In other words, don’t grit your teeth over the so-slow Barista at the coffee shop but if your boss is making your pull out your hair on a regular basis, know that your immune system will suffer. Find a way to work out your issues so they don’t affect your insides. Exercise and weight training is often a good antidote to chronic stress.
