A member asked:
Is it better to stay in bed with a very bad cold or be up and moving around?

Rest: The webster definition of the word: "to rest" means to not work. I often include in my practice which is mostly of men 'to not work out'. I think you can be up and around but not doing any activity that would stress your immune system or cause strain on your heart or lungs.
