Colds/Flu
As one of the most commonly experienced illnesses, I thought it would be useful to clarify the difference.
Often times when a common cold is not resolved, it transforms into a flu.
How:
Hand contact with virus containing secretions from environment or infected persons.
Inhaling air-borne viruses; especially when people sneeze in a poor ventilated confinements.
Causes of common cold:
I like the way the Chinese Medicine philosophy describes it; Wind-cold invasion
Invasion of the Lungs by Wind-Cold is caused by exterior cold penetrating the body wind. This may also be caused by artificial 'wind-cold' such as that in very draughty and cold working conditions. (Giovani)
Preventative measures:
Behavioural /Lifestyle
Keep your neck covered (prevent wind-cold invasion), especially on very windy and cold days
Choose cool to room temperature drinks instead of cold and icy drinks
Practise good hygiene , hand sanitise with Forever hand sanitizer
