People get colds by getting "cold germs" into their bodies from someone who has a cold. Sometimes we breathe them into our bodies and sometimes we get cold germs on our hands and put them in our mouths. A great way to protect against getting a cold is to wash your hands before eating or before putting your hands in your mouth, and by telling friends to cover their mouth and nose when they sneeze. Getting plenty of sleep and eating healthy also helps. Listen to the HealthRock song "I've Got to Sneeze."
