Journal Question #6 (2010-2011)
Do you know what this is a picture of? The common cold germ. Over the weekend, I caught a cold, and this made me think about how to avoid the cold. Any ideas? People say vitamin c is a cure for the cold - or it helps prevent colds, but I'm not so sure. How do you stay healthy? Once you get a cold, how do you reduce its effects? Do you get colds often, or do you stay healthy most of the time?

ReplyDeleteOH YEAH YEAH YEAH! I am the first one! HaHaHa.
ReplyDeleteWhen I saw the picture, I thought that was a cell. Then, I knew it was a cold germ, after I read the topic.
I am not sure if vitamin c is a cure for the cold. But I think it helps to prevent the cold.
I keep doing exercise, eating healthy food, and keep hygiene to stay healthy.
Once I get cold, I don't have any good idea to reduce its effects. I just take the medicine to make me feel better.
I don't get colds often, just when the season change from fall to winter, I always have cold.
Take care of yourselves and keep healthy.
the cold germ is so scary looking. it s good to be healthy.i hope i dont catch the cold.there are a lot of way to keep you healthy. you can drink more water. you can drink more orange juice, because it have a lot of vitamin c in it. you can work out more.so it will make your body stronger.
ReplyDeleteI'm a wooden bench. I'm Wooden bench!!!!! LOL
ReplyDeleteBy the way, when I saw this picture. The first idea going to my mind is what the hack was that. I don't get cold very often, like one time a year. Because I was doing exercise during winter. I swim and ski every winter. In my opining, If someone afraid cold, and just stay inside. Those people will easy to get cold.
Japanese also do something like what i said. They let's girls wear only skirt and boys only shorts in winter. That is inhuman. But that is a good example for us should fight to cold.
In the end, I wanna say come on Mr. Griffin. Let's fight to cold. Just going to the Playground，and run 10 mails. You will be better soon
Actually, I'm floor right now. Cuz tintim faster than me.
ReplyDeletei think the best way to keep yourself heath is doing sports and eat well. i don't think fight with cold is a good way. cause i have tried before , and it didn't work really well. i even got cold from that.but i stay health most of the time.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, vitamin c is a cure for the cold. Doctor always gives me some vitamin c pills when i got cold.

ReplyDeleteI hardly get cold in China, even though I stay up every day.But when I come to America, I caught cold in the first week. I feel terrible at that time, but I still didn't take any medicine. After a few days, my boyfriend and my best friend caught cold too.
ReplyDeleteWhen I catch cold, I drink more water and eat fruit as much as possible. I can't go to bed early because night time is best time for me to study!!!!!!!
I am sorry to hear that you get cold.Trying yo drink more water and eat more fruit.I am sure you will feel better in a few days.
Bless you.
Yes, i have to say that i hate the feeling that i get every time i get cold. I don't have enough energy and i can't help coughing! Unfortunately, my homestay mom got a cold. To avoid cold the most important thing to do is to stay warm. You should wear enough clothes when you go outside and have enough blankets when you go to sleep. But if you are not lucky enough. If you did all of those and you still got a cold. Then I would suggest you do eat something like chicken soup. It does help a lot!! And you shouldn't eat any junk food or oilY food in order not to become sicker. It can be a good decision to have some porridge to eat during that sick period.
ReplyDeleteI am sorry to heart that you caught a cold too and this cold germ does not have a good look..and i hate to get sick. So i always put many clothes on at the winter time.But i still gets a cold at that time. When i got a cold i'll go to see the doctor as soon as i can because i want to stay away from the bad feeling.
ReplyDeleteOf course i want someone to tell me that how do they stay healthy. Then i don't have to get sick at the cold time of the year.
This picture tell me the flu is every where,and people have to keep themselves healthy.I think you can drink hot water,wear more clothes and check the weather report.I don't know vitamin c is a cure for the cold,but maybe people say is right.I always do exercise,drink more hot water,eat more health food and so on.I stay healthy most of the time.You can do it.Mr griffin!

ReplyDeleteI think drinking a lot of water is the best way to avoid getting a cold. I don't get a cold very often, I eat a lot of fruits and vegetables,drinking a lot of water, it is very helpful for me to stay away from it .When I catch a cold ,I will drink HOT water ,and take a hot shower and some medicine that doctor prescribed , after taking some medicine and having a rest ,you will feel better soon.
ReplyDeleteI'm easily get cold when I was child. In that time , I usually went to hospital quarter-yearly. It's better after I grow up.Wash hands often, do exercises drink water, absorb vitamin, enough sleep, those are all helpfully ways to avoid the cold .
ReplyDeleteI always do lots of sports in spring and summer, and do some sports in fall, and do less sports in winter. In spring and summer, I always eat high-energy food, and I eat healthy food in fall and winter. If I got cold, I will drink lots of cold water and eat ice-cream, then go to the bathroom. It is like the purgative. Otherwise, give yourself enough time to rest, and keep your breath constant. The traditional chinese medicine says many knowledge about wellness, health.
ReplyDeleteoh...good luck for you!
ReplyDeleteI use Vitamin C to increase resistant system.But I also play sports to increase resistant system.I like to open the window in the room,it can keep the air fresh.
I think Vitamin C only use before you caught a cold.I always eat some chinese medicines.
Those element:
honeysuckle flower,tangerine peel,divaricate saposhnikovia root,liquoric root,chinese/red thorowax root,red paeony root,loquat leat,indian buead,unibract fritillary bulb...
As for me, I hardly get cold in China. Cuz My hometown is much warmer than here. For example, it is almost almost o Celsius Degrees here, but in my hometown it is hotter than 20 Celsius Degrees. Even though I just wear a little in china, I won't get a cold. However, here is much colder than my hometown, I still keep my wearing habit in China which is just wear a T-shirt and a warp that's enough. So I always have a gold in winter, even now I'm typing this comment, there still a cold with me. I guess if I wear more clothes, I'll be fine, But I don't want myself feel like a penguin. Does anyone have a good idea can help me?
ReplyDeleteIt is said every failure one meets with adds to one's experience. I often get cold so that i have some experience.
ReplyDeleteFirst, drink more hot water. I think it's the most important. put some flowers in the water if it's possible.
Second, have enough sleep every day. Especially have a snap in the afternoon. It will make you feel much better.
The last one is always keep warm. Wear more clothes than usual time.
Thanks, everybody, for the suggestions. You wrote some good ones - I'm going to try hot water, maybe with some of the herbs you mention. In the meantime, use your advice to stay well: we are entering cold and flu season. By the way, are you all getting a flu shot this week?
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion the cold is really bad thing for me. I don't like cold. I am a fire life, I am not a water life. So i don't like cold. Same idea i don't like winner. When i get a cold, I try to drink a lot hot water and go to see the doctor. They always give me some medicine. Open the windows make the fresh air come to my room, and eat some healthy food. NOT FAST FOOD!!
ReplyDeleteccc
ReplyDeletewell
ReplyDeletei am not a person who will have cold easily, cause i am strong
and if i do, i probably would drink hot water
hot water can help me get warm, and feel better
if it getting worse, i might take medicine.
Mr. Griffin，how do you feel now?I don't care it too much though i am very easy to get cold.I hate to find the doctor and i don't like to eat medicines. Every time i catch a cold,i just will wait for the cold germ far away from me. I'll not do anything to "kill" them.i had the flu shot this week which makes me so sick.do someone feel bad after it. or just me:(
ReplyDeletehowever,good luck，Mr. Griffin!!!
Last year I often get a cold. Because of the cold weather of Maine. But every time when I got cold, I just need take some Chinese medicine. Because in some times Chinese medicine is good for our Chinese People. Also when i got cold, I will drink a lot of water, water can help body to cure the cold
ReplyDeleteI didnt often get cold when I was living in Vietnam. However, I came here, I already got 2 times. It's really uncomfortable.I remember that when I got cold, my mom always cook something that makes me feel better. But I don't have my mom here so I have to use medicine and take a rest.So the best way is keep warm to your body or if you get a cold, try to get medicine immediately.
ReplyDeleteIf you want to be healthy and stay away from getting a cold, you should do these tips:
ReplyDeleteClean your hands every time after you sneeze. Keep cleaning your nose. Have a really good alimentation. Our grandparents tell us that we should take vitamin C pills but scientist studios say that that’s not a good medicine for the cold and its not going to help. Another recommendation is to keep your feet hot. Let enter clean air in the place that u were. And finally drink a lot of liquids to heal yourself, and against the virus.
OH! I'm the last one. Yeah!Yeah! I like that 'cause no one can compete with me! I' winner.
ReplyDeleteWhen I saw this picture, I just know this is a picture. I know what's mean of that picture. So I thought about it.Is it a ball? Is it a germ? Is it a toy? I did not get it. I needed to ask my cousin, he said that is a cold germ. It can let people get sick. I got it. I often get sick,but just drink some traditional Chinese medicine. It is very useful,but is very bitter. Mr. Griffin Do you know what is traditional Chinese medicine? If you get sick, you can try it!
Every year I get the flu and what I do is stay in bed for three days and don´t get out. To stay healthy I dress warm and eat good food. I exercise too.
ReplyDeleteFor me the flu is more dangerous because I have asthma.
I hate vaccinations because I don´t like needles and I try to escape.
