im a fool!

okay argh so this week because i'd done my workout plan for about 2 months and it ended i figured i'd rest a week before starting it again. anyway i catch a cold during this week. It's funny because when i was working out for those 2 months even though i exposed myself to sources of the cold i never did catch it and i figured working out was helping my immune system. but what happens now, i go out and catch the cold cause im not workout out. sheesh i knew i should have jsut continued workout out....

anyway jsut wanted to ask if my thoughts were actually right and working out does boost immune systems?

It was a fluke. You not working out when you caught the cold was a coincidence.

really? well damn. is there no way to immunize one self against the bloody cold? i hate the cold/flu i mean damnit you'd think with the technological advances these days we could come up with more then simple antibodies that can only help relieve some of the damned symtoms. I was going to go out tonight! argh2#%#!^

No there's NO WAY. Common colds are a complete slag.

At the first sign of a cold I stark taking zinc lozenges which help a ton. The trick is that you need to start taking them the day that you start showing symptoms be it just a few sneezes or a runny nose. I keep some at home and at work.

If I am in shape when I get sick, I keep working out. It helps. However, if i'm out of shape and get sick, working out makes everything worse.
