There's so much talk about how to avoid getting sick. But what do you do when you feel that telltale tickle in the back of your throat--and you're in the fast lane to Cold City, population: Check out some of the weirder ways to keep your cold symptoms under wraps:
1: Walk fast. New research has shown that walking briskly will help keep a cold at bay by increasing your immunity. But don't run (you'll get sick if you overexert yourself), and if you have anything more than the sniffles, you best stay in bed.

A few minutes ago, I caught myself staring at my computer screen. I can't say how long I'd been in that zone, but I know that I wasn't spacing. I was ticking through the items left on today's to-do list, trying to figure out if there is any way I can squeeze in a workout before it is time to close up the laptop for the day.
There's time for a quick one, certainly. But I know if I head out now, my mind will be focused elsewhere and I won't give the attention to my posture, pace, and heart rate that I really need to get the most out of my exercise.

Well, I'm still here. I didn't run off to food rehab. The other day I actually walked clear around the country block where I live. My sister-in-law told me that her doctor recommended fish oil for stiff joints and it has really helped her. I've started taking it quite… Read More »

When I was training for a three-day walking event to benefit a breast cancer charity about six years ago, I ditched a huge drawer full of cheap, white cotton socks and invested in several pairs of spendy, structured athletic socks. Before that, I hadn't considered myself an athlete and I certainly wasn't doing rigorous enough exercise to warrant buying $15 socks. But when I realized that part of the reason my feet were badly blistered, aching, and sweaty was the stretched-thin cotton I was covering them, I was convinced it was time to switch over. Read More »
