Newsroom Special - Do we prepare enough for cold season?

6 minutes | Wednesday, 9 January 2019

Even if you aren’t one of the many who already feels run-down due to the excesses and overindulgence associated with the festive season, there’s a chance you might be feeling a cold or another winter illness starting to creep in.

However, despite there being many preventative options, new research finds that 50% of Brits don’t start using any kind of remedy until after they feel their sickness starting to take its toll.

The research, commissioned by Ocean Spray cranberry juice, also suggests that nearly a third (32%) won’t take any further action to prevent seasonal-related illnesses and to remain well even after being ill already.

Joining us on the line to discuss the research and how best to prevent illness during and before it happens is immunologist Dr. Jenna Macciochi.
