QuestionI am 66 am fit for jogging etc and run out about 3 times a week I am in general very well and happy man In my mothers later years she was in good health but had minor ailments one of which I now have very easily catch cold When I run out I have to keep going I mustnt hang about for a couple of minutes or it seems to start me sneezing and then often severe ly for 48 hours so I have to be careful This began 10 or so years ago and has got worse Now If i get in a draught it sets off cold type symtems I guess this is age related and will just continue as it did with my mother I would like to know if there is any thing I can counter this with I take general vits and nutrient sup's and as I say am ok but perpetually bothered with this complaint
My Brother stopped running because of it I will not do that, in any case it happens if my feet get cold or my face gets in a cold breeze or the like It must seem petty to most people so I dont ask around With some peoples complaints it is relatively do you have knowledge of it or should I see a speciaist? Thank you, James.
AnswerHi Ramsey and thankls for writing,
Well this is new to me, but I would suggest two things:
1] try taking Vitamin C and Zinc Supplements as these both boost your immune system and help prevent colds.
2] If this doesn't help, I would try seeing a good Naturopath and get tested for allergies.
I hope this helps & I wish you all the best.
