Health Tip
Drinking hot coffee or tea could save you sick days.
A study in the Annals of Family Medicine found that people who sipped coffee or hot tea were 53 percent less likely to carry the bacteria (MRSA) in their noses. Harboring the germ raises your risk of developing an antibiotic-resistant infection by about 4 times. The temperature is the key to protection though- cold beverages won't do.
