How to Stay Fit when you have a Cold

• Do not work out while you have a cold - sweating out the cold is just a myth!



• Stay hydrated with water



• Avoid caffeine and drinks that contain a lot of sugar



• Get plenty of rest to strengthen your immune system



• Take COLD-EEZE to cut your cold nearly and half



• Ease back in to your workout routine once you start feeling better

Sticking to the routine is key to success with exercise. Most fitness enthusiasts of any age hate missing a workout because consistency is important when you are trying to stay fit. Also, missing a workout makes it that much easier to miss one the next day, and the next, and the next. Before you know it, your routine has fallen off completely. But what if you are sick? Should you work out?

Truth is - working out while you are sick with the cold is the worst thing you can do to your body. Exercising will only prolong your illness and can lead to a more serious secondary sickness such as upper respiratory infection or pneumonia. Your body is rundown and dehydrated when you have a cold which means your muscles are not functioning properly. Your body uses all its resources to fight the inflammation, so there is an increased risk of muscle damage and joint injury.

Getting yourself healthy should be the number one priority. One way to decrease the number of workouts you may miss due to a cold is by taking Cold-Eeze products, which contain the patented zinc gluconate glycine formula. This formula is clinically proven to reduce the duration of colds by nearly half.
