Q: Chuck, I've tried Air- borne, Cold-Eeze, Zicam and megadoses of vitamin C with little effect on my colds. I hear Cold-FX, a Canadian fixation, works better. Heard anything? Melissa S. Farmington, N.M. A" In the midst of cold and flu season, we all are looking for bodily border protection from those foreign bugs. Cold-FX is a patented stan- dardized extract of Ameri- can ginseng root. It purports to help "reduce the frequen- cy, severity and duration of cold and flu symptoms by boosting the immune sys- tem." It was introduced in the United States in 2006. According to the Universi- ty of California Berkeley, it "has been tested in several studies, with promising re- sults." Health Canada (the equivalent of the Food and Drug Administration in the United States) even put its stamp of approval on it. In studies, those who took ems Cold-FX over four months had fewer colds, and when they did get colds, symptoms were milder. One study showed that elderly people experienced a reduction in respiratory infections (though it's not intended to treat them). Though I'm not endorsing the product, I agree with UC Berkeley: May work, can't hurt. But as always, talk to your physician or health practitioner before taking it, especially because ginseng has an anticoagulant effect. Q: Mr. Norris, I recently read your article about the health pillar of sleep. You didn't mention much about the effects of diet on sleep patterns. Can you elaborate? "'Sleepless in San Antonio'" A- Though there are a host of sleep-inducing diets, their effectiveness depends more upon the individual than it does the diet. Outside of what one consumes, one's di- gestion, blood sugar levels, hormones, all-around health, life circumstances and even personality (say, how one adapts to stress) all become factors.in how diet affects sleep. comm There is no magic fruit to make you sleep. Still, some studies reveal generalities that might help here. High- protein and high-fat diets tend to perk us up rather than put us down. On the other hand, high-carbohy- drate foods generally make one sleepier because they are supposed to produce the "calming" brain chemical serotonin via the amino acid tryptophan. And here are some givens about diet and sleep. If you eat sugar-filled foods or drink caffeinated beverages three to four hours before bedtime, good luck getting to sleep. Also, avoid alcohol during the same period; it might put you to sleep sooner, but it actually irri- tates sleep patterns. And stay away from big munchies or meals two to three hours before bedtimel because digestive acids (especially when you're lying down) can lead to heartburn or acid reflux.
