Chemical Engineering in Daily Life – Question 70: How to prevent colds?
Thread Content
Autumn has arrived; the weather has turned cold, and even the temperature in the Jiangnan region is now similar to that in the Beijing and Tianjin areas. Such seasons are also peak periods for colds, and influenza can even spread. As a chemical engineer, I have a secret recipe to stay free from colds. Since this method has been used since 1990, the number of colds over 25 years (including influenza as well as those so-called \"colds\" that lasted more than 5 hours) has been no more than 8. Dear netizens, based on your experience, please share how you manage to avoid catching a cold from the perspective of chemical processing operations. My answer will be announced in a few days.
Around me, there used to be too many children with bronchitis in certain periods, but in rural areas with similar conditions, the children fared much better. Children who grew up in an environment without heating as kids have stronger resistance to colds, and hormones should not be used casually.
Exercise more to enhance the body’s resistance
It’s related to the living environment; one also needs to exercise more. My son struggled with bronchitis last winter, but things improved once the weather got warmer.
Infants and the elderly are prone to catching colds. A poor constitution is the main cause. I don’t understand it from the perspective of chemical processing operations.
Now people’s resistance has decreased; living conditions have improved, and there is less hardship.
It is related to one’s physical constitution; one can eat more fruits regularly, make lemon honey water at home, or drink flower tea. Even those with weak constitutions often take VC. That said, it’s best to catch a cold twice a year so that the white blood cells can fight as well. Not catching a cold all the time isn’t a good thing — personal opinion.
Exercise more – I now ride a bike 7 km to work, do 60 sit-ups in the morning and evening, and I’m constantly fighting against rhinitis! !

Persist in washing the face with cold water in the morning, plus one piece of ginger per day:victory:
Keep washing your face with cold water throughout the year, and run at least 2–3 times a week, for at least half an hour each time
