According to Real Age,
Colds Hate Positive People. The article refers to research that there is a link between emotional and physical health that can be demonstrated. It turns out that people who have a positive or happy outlook on life really do catch fewer colds than those who tend to have negative or unhappy thoughts. The study goes further and indicates that even when happy people get colds, their symptoms are less and last a shorter time than those who are not positive.
Of course, it also makes sense to take reasonable care along with changing your thinking. Washing your hands, rest and good food also support your immune system and can help you avoid colds.
