August 21/Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia/Pediatrics -- There may be relief for common cold sufferers, and it may be as easy as changing some of the foods you eat. A new study posted in the journal Pediatrics reveals that increasing a child’s intake of Vitamin D can actually help prevent them from catching colds.
Past studies have revealed that low Vitamin D levels are linked to an increased risk of colds. The new study, however, is the first study to prove that supplementing children’s intake of the vitamin will reduce the risk of colds.
