For many years people have said that catching a cold because of cold weather is an old wives tale. Now scientists have found that keeping warm really can help stop colds. Researchers from the Common Cold Center at Britains Cardiff University have discovered that cold weather is a major cause of catching a cold. The center is the only laboratory in the world that researches and tests new medicines for influenza and colds. The researchers recommend wearing a hat and keeping your feet dry to avoid colds. They also suggest you somehow keep your nose warm when outside in cold weather. Dr. Ronald Eccles, team leader at the Cold Center, said we are more likely to become ill in cold weather. He said the cold makes the blood vessels in the nose narrower, which reduces our ability to fight viruses inside the nose. Dr. Eccles studied 180 people in his study. Half of his volunteers put their feet in bowls of freezing cold water for 20 minutes, while the others kept their feet dry. Dr. Eccles found that 29 percent of those who kept their feet in the icy water caught colds within five days, compared with nine percent for those who kept their socks on. Dr. Eccles advised children to wrap up well in winter. aplicatie6.htm THE WEATHER IS FINE Is a fine (nice, lovely) day, isnt it? Its wonderful out today! What a clear (starlit, cloudless) night!
