Why is it easy to catch a cold and who is prone to catching a cold?

Whenever the weather changes, there are always some people who catch colds, while the people around them are fine. Colds are related to human resistance, so we need to enhance our resistance. Then which group of people are more likely to catch colds?

A lazy person.

Traditional Chinese medicine says that "sitting for a long time hurts the flesh, lying for a long time hurts the qi", which means that if a person does not move for a long time, he will become drowsy and listless, and after a long time, the qi will be scattered, and the spirit will be more listless, forming a vicious cycle. When a person's qi is weak, the immune system cannot function normally and cannot resist external viruses and bacteria, which will lead to colds.

Someone who doesn't like sun exposure.

Exercising more sun can supplement vitamin D, promote calcium absorption, and strengthen the body. People who don't like to sunbathe are prone to insufficient yang energy, pale complexion, weak body, and low immunity, which naturally makes them the target of cold viruses.

Lonely person

In crowded places, it is easy to catch a cold because the germs are more complex and ventilation is poor. But if you always stay alone and don't contact others, you are also prone to catching a cold. Because when you contact others, the human body will "adapt" to the germs and the immunity will be higher. If you don't contact a complex environment for a long time, you will not be able to adapt when you suddenly enter it, and you will be easily invaded by germs. American researchers have observed that people who are less active are 2 to 3 times more likely to catch a cold than those who are active.

A person who is on an excessive diet.

Research from the Düsseldorf Nursing Home in Germany shows that colds are closely related to diet, and some colds are caused by improper diet. For example, excessive dieting for weight loss will lead to low food intake, nutrient deficiency, insufficient Qi and blood, which will reduce the body's immunity and easily induce colds.

People who are prone to catching colds should first avoid cold inducements, such as exposure to colds and rain. The elderly and the weak should pay more attention to protection and try to avoid frequent visits to crowded public places. More importantly, it is important to strengthen physical fitness, insist on moderate and regular outdoor exercise, and improve the body's immunity and cold resistance.
