2 Boiling point:

If you are outside home, opt for mineral water over tap water. At home, boil the water before drinking to kill the germs, or filter it.


3 Sweat it out:

If you get drenched in the rain, jog till you sweat. This will help in keeping the body temperature in check.


4 Wash hands:

To avoid catching a cold, wash your hands frequently with a medicated soap. Using a sanitiser would be useful, too.


5 Vitamin diet:

Supply your body with enough of Vitamin A and C. A healthy platter of steamed vegetables will help prevent the common cold virus.
