Winter cold and flu facts. Or fiction?

It is really starting to get cold here in South Africa now. Autumn (or Fall for the Americans?) is over and the real Winter is starting. Temperatures are seriously coming down, people are layering more and more clothes and the sniffles and coughs are becoming more and more commonplace.

I've received the interesting text below via email and unfortunately the source was not credited. It makes interesting reading - you be the judge.

"Cold weather makes it easier to catch a cold.

Fiction. Cold weather has nothing to do with catching a cold. Many people become ill due to the fact that we tend to spend more time indoors in close contact with other people in heated homes. Because of the heated close quarters, germs are more easily passed from person to person. ..."

On chicken soup: Whether it helps or not, I love chicken soup - especially the rich, thick and tasty one my friend E makes! I think it's time for a visit :)
