(I say that tongue in cheek..lol) One of the older ladies in our community -- she was in her 90's when she recently passed away -- told me about her grandfather's medical notes. He was a country doctor of old. This conversation came up when I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia and arthritis. She said he made notes saying that those with rheumatism needed to avoid sugar because it caused inflammation all based on his observations of his patients. Amusingly enough all these years later my new "scientifically" educated doctor is saying the same thing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6315851262843522940.post-28521019951368637182015-01-13T13:54:46.650-05:002015-01-13T13:54:46.650-05:00I don't think it would hurt.

But with all things being equal, the researchers were saying a cold nose is more likely to let a cold virus replicate than a warm one. <br /><br />When you talked about your cold hair, it made me think about my son. He is letting his hair grow a little, and he said when he went out the other day his hair froze. Did that ever happen to you?Live and Learnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13493777474885053903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6315851262843522940.post-13434375061624655482015-01-13T01:18:13.365-05:002015-01-13T01:18:13.365-05:00No, I always wore my coat (hating the cold) but th...No, I always wore my coat (hating the cold) but the one told to me daily was going out in the cold with wet hair would make me sick. I've never been much of a morning person, still not, so the idea of getting up even earlier to have time to dry my hair wasn't going to happen.<br /><br />I read this news about the cold virus but disregarded it until you brought it up. See my nose is always cold yet I rarely ever get sick. I think the difference has to be how we take care of ourselves. Do we eat properly, get enough sleep, etc? It may be that we are carrying the cold virus around with us and that a cold nose makes us more susceptible but it's how we care for ourselves that probably makes all the difference in whether we will get sick or not.Lois@Living In Denimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16368939902298894344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6315851262843522940.post-61986953780442676652015-01-12T18:33:12.687-05:002015-01-12T18:33:12.687-05:00One of the researchers said that she wears a scarf...One of the researchers said that she wears a scarf around her mouth and nose.Live and Learnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13493777474885053903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6315851262843522940.post-78874914506712348342015-01-12T15:50:36.338-05:002015-01-12T15:50:36.338-05:00I saw a spin of that on the news--where they sugge...I saw a spin of that on the news--where they suggested that wearing a scarf around your nose and mouth may help prevent colds due to your higher susceptibility of catching a cold from the colder temps.
