Want to stay away from colds ? Put on a happy face . Compared to unhappy people , those who are cheerful and relaxed are less likely to suffer from colds , according to a new study . It is possible that being happy helps the body fight illnesses , say the researchers from New York University . “ It seems that positive (积极的) feelings may reduce the danger of illness .” said the study’s chief researcher Sheldon Cohen .
In an earlier study , Cohen found that people who were cheerful and lively caught coughs and colds less often . People who showed feelings were also less likely to tell their doctors that they felt ill .
In this study , Cohen’s team interviewed 193 adults every day for two weeks .During the interviews, the people told researchers about the happy or sad feelings they had that day .
After the two weeks , the people were given colds by doctors and had to stay alone in a room for six days . The results showed that everyone in the study was equally (相等的) likely to get ill .But for people who said they felt happy during the research period , their illness are less serious and lasted for a shorter time .
Cohen believes that when people experience positive feelings , their body may produce a chemical that helps fight illness and disease . So if you are worried about your health , look on the bright side more often .

Zinc is one of about 20 elements (元素)necessary for good health . It is present in the body in a very small amount , but it makes it possible for important chemical actions to be carried out in cells . Scientists are just beginning to discover how zinc and other elements work .

Dr. Waltor Powys , formerly with the United States Air Force , noted that the laboratory animals recovered faster when some matters were added to their food . One of these matters was zinc . Dr. Powys later tested the zinc treatment on an American air man recovering from medical operations . The airman who received zinc sulphate (硫酸锌) recovered in half of the usual time . Other doctors studied persons who caused by lack of zinc in the body . They treated these disorders successfully by giving the patient zinc sulphate .

Zinc is found in most high protein foods , such as meat , milk ,fish and eggs . It is also found in whole grains . But many people do not eat enough of these foods .
