When the cold season begins, the body must organize and adapt its energy. If it can’t do this quickly, we might catch a cold. This is not only the case in long, cold winters, but also in hot weather a sudden cold can occur. Why? A "cold" has always something to do with cool: during a cold season, the environment can withdraw too much heat from the body; when walking on a stone floor too much heat can escape from the body; wind or wearing a wet bathing suit for too long can withdraw much heat; being outside, or exposed to draft or an air-conditioner, etc. can withdraw too much body heat.
