I found this article from my English Weekly yesterday.It's good for us to learn how to avoid catching a cold.

 1.Don't pick your nose.      Keep your paws  out of your nose.Don't rub your eyes,either.Clod virus germs,which can live for several hours on your hands,enter your body through your nose and eyes.So,washing your hands often during cold season and keeping your fingers away from your eyes and nose are the best ways to avoid catching a cold.

2.Get enough sleep.           Sleep certainly affects the immune system.Having a good sleep is good for your health.

3.Eating a big breakfast.     A study in the Netherlands found that people who ate a big breakfast had higher antiviral cells by 450 percent compared with people who ate very little or not at all.So eat something that is high in fiber and full of vitamins with 1-percent milk(脱脂牛奶),eat an orange(toss those peels)and grape jelly and maybe a yogurt if you're still hungry.Wash it all down with one or two cups of green tea.Laboratory studies have identified a compound in green tea that might keep viruses from multiplying.

 4.Drinking orange juice at the first sign of a cold.       You can get vitamins C naturally through these excellent food sources:oranges,berries,green and red peppers,tomatoes,broccoli,spinach and kiwifruit,which actually has more vitamins C in it than an orange.

5.Go for bike ride.           Exercise has been shown to boost the immune system.

6.Play a game.               Long-term stress,like being bullied at school or worrying about the upcoming exams,can actually lower your immunity.You can play a game to relax yourself.

7.Suck eggs.                 It means we shoule eat more eggs.But do not eat raw eggs.Some doctors believe zine gluconate fights colds by stopping the cold virus from attaching to your cells.

8.Drink lots of fluids.      Fluids wash the virus out of your body.

9.Eat chicken soup.
