    No other diseases occur so often as the common cold. We call it “common” because everybody may have one sooner or later.

    The symptoms of the common cold appear within a few days of infection. Once a man is affected by the common cold, he usually suffers from cough and fever. He is asked to drink much water and have a good rest, Some medicinal (藥物的) herbs are often used to treat colds. Aspirin may be given to relieve symptoms.

    Although the common cold is not serious in itself, many of its complications (并發(fā)癥) are. Of these, the most common are bronchitis and pneumonia.

    What can we do to prevent a cold?

    The best way is to increase the body resistance by exercise. With exercise, every organ in the body functions better, and the circulation (循環(huán)) is stimulated. The increased resistance to colds comes from better skin blood circulation. Some medicinal herbs can also be used to prevent this disease.

As the pace of life continues to increase, we are fast losing the art of relaxation. Once you are in the habit of rushing through life, being on the go from morning till night, it is hard to slow down. But relaxation is essential for a healthy mind and body.
      Stress is a natural part of everyday life and there is no way to avoid it. In fact, it is not the bad thing it is often supposed to be. A certain amount of stress is vital to provide motivation and give purpose to life. It is only when the stress gets out of control that it can lead to poor performance and ill health.

The amount of stress a person can withstand depends very much on the individual. Some people are not afraid of stress, and such characters are obviously prime material for managerial responsibilities; others lose heart at the first sign of unusual difficulties. When exposed to stress, in whatever form, we react both chemically and physically. In fact we make choice between "flight or fight" and in more primitive days the choices made the difference between life or death. The crises we meet today are unlikely to be so extreme, but however little the stress, it involves the same response. It is when such a reaction lasts long, through continued exposure to stress, that health becomes endangered. Since we can't remove stress from our lives (it would be unwise to do so even if we could), we need to find ways to deal with it.
