WINTER COLDS & WINTER CHILLS

One of the most important things that our bodies can tell us is how it is feeling...Our bodies sensitive mechanisms are designed to literally keep us informed as to how it is operating...This subtle information is priceless...whether we heed the information being given to us at any given time is up to us entirely...but if you do not listen to your body...you do so at your own peril...I'll explain.

Every Cell in our bodies...and there are literally billions of them perform a specific function...every cell contains mitochondria...literally the battery cell of each individual sell...all of these work in concert with each other...working together to keep the body functioning...in some cases fighting foreign bacteria or virus's that have invaded us...but mostly keeping a finger on the pulse of our being.

That is why when the weather turns cold...on a particular day...one minute hot..next minute freezing...our bodies adjust for this...for a time....but...we must do the rest...when you Feel cold...put something extra on....If you feel hot...take it off...Don't go from air conditioning on a hot day into the heat and vice versa...our bodies can't deal with this all the time....

That is why we become prone to catching that chill which can then become a cold..a common cold is not a virus...the flu is...and can be contacted by touch or transported in the air we breathe...so make sure you are protected as best you can especially if you travel to work on public transport...where people are coughing and sneezing...its a sure fire way to pick something up...

How can we protect against this...well...I do as best I might by fortifying my body with vitamins and minerals...specifically Vitamin Concepts brand of Super Multivitamins and Super Calcium extra...I find these work best after many many years of experimentation...and they can be bought at most health food shops...or you can go to my website...www.thejohnwall.com and you will be able to contact David Henderson our Nutritional Advisor directly...

So until I next have a chance to talk to you...Keep Well and Be Brilliant...John
