Did You Know

Did you know, John Adams believed walking ten miles a day would cure the common cold? Cough. Cough. Hack. Hack.
And a huge thank you to the beautiful and talented Jacqui Murray for helping me get the word out on MATEO at her blog today.

No, I didn't know. But I walk miles each day and very rarely get coughs and colds these days, so perhaps there's something in it as a sort of prevention. Hugs, Valerie

If he could outwalk a cold he obviously walks a LOT faster than I do.
Stay safe, stay well.

Great information at Indiana IT Managed Services

CJ Kennedy said...

10 miles? And when are you expected to get any work done? 😺

Hot guys said...

I didn't, actually. Think it couldn't hurt, actually!

Jamie Ghione said...

Ten miles? I can barely walk one mile.

L. Diane Wolfe said...

It would take you so long to walk 10 miles, you wouldn't have time to be sick.

Jeanie said...

I did not know that!

Sandra Cox said...

Good on you. Fresh air. Staying in shape. Bucking up your immune system. Makes sense.
Elbow bump:)

Heading over to Jacqui's blog:)

Sandra Cox said...

Haha:)

Sandra Cox said...

Ha. Yeah, that was good.

Sandra Cox said...

Yes and in low populated areas. Heh.

Sandra Cox said...

Thanks, Aaron.

Sandra Cox said...

Ha. By the time I got home I'd be gasping on the couch and worthless.

Sandra Cox said...

Exercising is our friend...though I'm afraid if I was with ten- milers I would be lagging FAR behind:) Heh.

Sandra Cox said...

Ha. I used to walk all the time. Then I retired....

Sandra Cox said...

Heh. Good point.

Sandra Cox said...

Your factoid for the day:)

Christine said...

Interesting.

Birgit said...

I am walking from my couch in my tv room to my chair in my library....does this count? Probably not since my butt seems to be getting wider.

I find eating lots of fresh fruit a day stops me from getting colds.

Walking 10 miles a day...I'd probably have made it up to The States by now if I'd started doing that!!! But first, I'd have to learn how to walk on water.... :)

Sandra Cox said...

Who'd a thought?

Sandra Cox said...

Ha. Of course it counts:)

Sandra Cox said...

Ha. Good one.
Good on you for eating fruit. I'm a big believer in Vit C.
Stay safe. Stay healthy.

Maybe I should start walking more! LOL! I drink lots of green tea and make sure I have my vitamin C! Big Hugs!
