Summary: 6 ways to naturally prevent a cold.

1. Sleep
- Sleep stimulates the cells which boost immune systems
2. Exercise
- 30 to 90 minutes most days of the week increases immune system and fights colds
3. Hot and Cold showers
- Temperature fluctuations jumpstart immune systems
4. Oysters
- Contain zinc which helps strengthen immune systems
5. Vitamin D
- Helps regulate immune systems
6. Nasal Rinse
- Sweeps bacteria and viruses from respiratory track

Critique: I think it’s pretty cool we can do everyday little things that could make an impact on our health.

Impact: During winter more people get sick from the weather these small steps will help support our immune systems.
