(CBS) Two separate studies are bringing new hope that one day, perhaps
even in the coming decade, humanity may defeat the common cold.
First, the easier to understand and implement advice from researchers at
the Appalachian State University: Regular exercise can help prevent colds,
and people who do stay fit tend to suffer less from cold symptoms.
Second, scientists at Cambridge University in England are claiming a major
breakthrough in the understanding of humans' natural immune systems which
may lead in the relatively near future to a cure for not only the common
cold, but a host of other nasty winter viral infections.
Prevention: The Easy Part
Appalachian's Human Performance Laboratory has found that people who get
moderate exercise at least five times weekly got fewer colds, and suffered
symptoms for as much as 46 percent less time than their more lethargic
compatriots.

Cure for the Common Cold? The Science
It's more complicated, and still looming on the horizon, but the big
brains at Cambridge are sounding incredibly confident:
"It could lead to an effective treatment for the common cold," Dr. James
Leo, of the famed university's Laboratory of Molecular Biology, told The
Independent about his team's discovery that our body's cells are able to
fight invading viruses even after they've been invaded.
Currently, medical text books state that once a virus breaks into a cell,
that cell can be written-off as infected, a lost cause. Not so, say the
Cambridge crew.
