You have 62…….heard someone say tha

You have 62…….heard someone say that the reason you caught a cold was that you were run-down. People generally accept that if you are under press or run-down, you are more 63………to get ill. But is this really true or is it just an old wives’ 64………?

The problem 65……..old sayings like this is that it is often difficult to prove 66……..they are true or not. If you ask people with colds if they are feeling run-down, they are almost certain 67…….yes. People without colds are more likely to say no. So, 68……..you can tell if it’s the cold that is making them feel run-down or the fact that they are run-down that is making them more likely to catch a cold?

Scientists at the Common Cold Research Centre ran a series of tests. They got 69…….without colds to attend the centre, 70……..they were first given a questionaire to complete. The questions measured the 71……of stress each of them was under. They were then deliberately injected with a cold virus 72……..left to see whether they developed a cold. After many people had been tested, the researchers looked for a link 73…….the measured stress level and the chances of catching a cold. They found that 74……the stress, the more likely the person was to catch a cold.

At the moment, it is not known why stress makes someone more likely to become ill, but now that the link has been found, researchers might be able to investigate 75……. . They may even find different ways of combating diseases.
