15 Ways to boost your Metabolism

Zinc as the cure for the common cold

Finally, after years of trying out different remedies (natural or medicinal), a study has been conducted and it is concluded that zinc is (so far) the best way to reduce the lifespan of your cold...

Follow these instructions when taking Zinc:

• I would suggest you go for 25mg or 50mg Zinc supplements
• Take once a day with a meal
• Take a couple of hours before or after any other drugs you are taking
• Take at first sign of getting sick or when in contact with others that are sick

If the zinc does not prevent your sickness, it will definitely shorten it so don't stop taking it until you have completely recovered since zinc boosts your immune system!
