How To Prevent A Cold Before It Starts Because sneezing and coughing are not how you want to spend your day. BY ESTHER CRAIN AND ELIZABETH BACHARACH Sorry to be the bearer of bad news buuuut…. the typical adult averages two to three colds a year, according to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC). And whether you’ve already topped that number or you’ve somehow stayed congestion-free this season (teach me your ways!), you’d probably try pretty much anything that promises to stop a cold in its tracks. But is it really possible to get rid of a cold super quickly, like overnight? Or within 24 hours? Or even within a few days? Haaalp! The short answer: You can’t do anything fancy to get rid of a cold once symptoms have hit. Once a cold virus enters your system, nothing will truly prevent it from running I course. So-called cold fighters such as vitamin C and herbs like garlic just aren’t supported by science, says Holly Phillips, MD, a women’s health specialist in New York City. For example, vitamin C is obviously healthy and a known immune system protector, but if you’re waiting to take a supp until you actually feel sick, it’s too late to help out with that particular illness. “For vitamin C to be most effective, you have to take it every day,” Kathleen Dass, MD, an allergist and immunologist, previously told WH. Giving II a vitamin boost, preferably through foods, works better when you’re doing it ‘round the clock as a preventive method (more on that in a sec). One note: There is some evidence that suggests taking zinc at the very start of a cold (like within the first couple of days of noticing symptoms) may trim the length, but the research isn’t yet conclusive. […] Ding, ding ding—focusing on prevention is a smart way to approach cold and flu season. If you can keep your immune system strong, you’ll be more likely to fight off a cold virus invasion, says Dr. Phillips. Here’s how. 1. Score quality sleep. 2. Load up on plant food. 3. Don’t touch your eyes, mouth, or nose. 4. Stress less. 5. Stay hydrated. 6. Wash. Your. Hands. 7. Stay armed with wipes and sanitizer. 8. Get the flu shot. […] Available at: . Access: 25 set. 2019.

Answer 1

Resposta:

Creio que seja a alternativa D

Explicação:

No artigo, é dito: "os chamados combatentes do resfriado, como vitamina C e ervas como alho, não são apoiados pela ciência, diz Holly Phillips", na alternativa D é dito o contrário, que a vitamina C pode ajudar o combate aos resfriados; sendo assim, a alternativa D é a que não apresenta uma forma de combate à doença.
