Cold showers prevent flu

noooo anon, you'll get 2.2x as sick

Don't take a cold shower while you're sick. It inhibits your immune system.

No lol, they'll make you sick more often.

My steps to fix cold:
-10 hrs sleep
-3000mg vitamin c daily
-shitload of fluids
-stay warm, don't exert yourself
-no symptom suppressors (advil, tylenol, etc)

Cold gone in 2 days max.

It's that season, like 30 people at work including my self have a cold. Just take it easy and baby yourself. Lots of vitamins and water, no unnecessary shit. Stay inside and rest and it'll go away.

everything sounds great

except for the vitamin c shit, i have doubts whether that actually helps

>>40033693
Might be superstition/placebo, idk. My mum was always all about that and it seems to work. Vit C is cheap anyway.

I did the cold shower meme.
Still got sick.
Just got really good at tolerating cold.

Here's something that will help you:

>The water from pickles
>Honey
>Garlic
>Onion
>Ginger
>Lemon Juice


Put in a bowl and mash that shit, then try to drink in small sips. Doesn't have to be a lot of everything. Also pinch your nose while you're drinking it so you don't throw it up, tastes disgusting. But I can promise you it helps-

vitamin c does help for the retard saying it doesn't .On that note: If you take iron supplements at all (mostly applies to women here) either take it with vitamin c or orange juice or its like taking an empty pill. Your body won't absorb it without vitamin c and i think that might apply to other supplements as well fyi so there's your reason to take it.

Yeah it doesn't really matter. Colds always run their course in about a week. All the crap you supplement yourself with doesn't speed up shit to any measurable degree

I get sick about once a year, usually for 2-3 days. Clearly I'm doing something right.

Or immune system is lolgenetics, but still.

>>40034304

No idea lol

>>40034347
I think switching the pickle water for coconut water would be a good idea

Do cold showers everyday while you are not sick and it will reduce how often you get sick

Vitamin C has never been shown to improve immune system function or shorten the length of your cold. It is a persistent meme. Zinc has, but it's really not a huge difference.

Stop asking /fit/ for medical advice, you fucking retards

>trigger discipline
Ree ree etc. etc.

>Do you think it is a good idea to take a cold shower? I will perhaps cut my cold.
What kind of retarded trolling IS this!?

NO, TAKING A COLD SHOWER WHEN YOU ARE SICK WILL NOT MAKE YOU 'GET OVER' IT FASTER, YOU WILL BE SICKER, LONGER!

Seriously how fucking DUMB are you people!?

>>40033557
are those hips real? my god.

Read about hydrotherapy. Take hot baths when you have a cold, and when you don't, take cold ones. I like to think of cold showers as immune system training. It's also good for testosterone and makes you feel great.
