Can This Really Prevent the Common Cold?

Everyone is searching for the magic "cold-killer" bullet. Of course, at this point nothing but time itself can "cure" a cold, but here's one thing you can do to ease cold symptoms: gargle salt water...

I know...you're already well-aware of the salt water deal. (Who isn't?) But did you know you can use it to prevent upper respiratory tract infections from occurring in the first place? 

A study by the American Journal of Preventative Medicine had test subjects gargle salt water three times a day. The "garglers" had a 40 percent decrease in infections vs. a "non-gargler" control group. 

Easy enough to implement, cost-effective, and harmless.

Now go gargle some salt water.
