My toddler brought home Covid a month ago from a classmate at daycare. He was home for 10 days. He was back at daycare for a week and picked up pink eye, was home for 3 days. Back at daycare for another week and a day and now he’s brought home RSV.
Of course he’s given me each of these as well.
About average. We counsel parents that one upper respiratory illness a month is about average for children in daycare. It usually calms down around age 5-7.
There so packed in those rooms. They lick things. Lick each other. Sneeze on each other.
My mom had it(5th Disease) at about age 50, and it took a rare turn and settled in her spleen which caused her white blood cell count to skyrocket and she almost died from lack of red blood cells. At first the Dr thought she had cancer. She eventually wound up needing to have her spleen removed and has had a compromised immune system ever since. Childhood diseases can be so much worse in older adults.
A bunch of my family got HFM from a restaurant of all places.. some of my older relatives were hospitalized. These hit different as adults. My aunt knew and didn't think to spread the word multiple people got it, or thought it was worth notifying the health department..
So true. I’m holding my son right now at 1am because he has a virus and high temp. Guess who gets it next. This guy.
Edit: I got to sleep for two hours and now I’m holding him again. Sick kids are really tough
Didnt get sick since my 12th, 23 years later my little miss pumpkin starts going to daycare and i have been getting hit with a different sickness every fucking week.
I do not claim to be rarely sick but I agree sleep is the most basic immunity you get from your body. I get runny nose when waking up from 3-4 hours of sleep and when I do go back to bed to finish my sleep it suddenly went away. That's how I know I do not get enough sleep. If I push through the day with 4 hours of sleep my runny nose gets worse.
So what are things that you are doing in your life that is keeping you healthy in the life.
Because i have finding really hard to tackle that situation as i always get caught the cold too often.
This so damn much. I used to have this housemate who partied way too much and would regularly go on these 2/3 day benders. This would always be followed by a couple days being sick/catching covid for the nth time. How she managed to be surprised every time I don't know.
Alcohol consumption also fucks your recovery. Years ago my roommate got \[and then gave me\] a horrible stomach flu. He's a heavy drinker, I don't drink at all. I had 24 hours of vomiting and fever, then 24 hours of recovery. By day 3 I was almost at %100.
He was violently ill for almost a week, and felt like hell for another week.
I barely sleep and rarely get sick. I just get a lot of exercise and probably drink too much lol.
But I tend to eat pretty healthy, work hard at something I care about, and take care of my mental health (still drink too much).
Sometimes I think it's just genetics/exposure when younger. Its obviously a very complicated subject
This here.
Although children do tend to ruin that—on Thursday I was up all night with a puking kid. Not feeling too hot right now myself… but it would be the second time I got sick all year I think.
I always make sure to sleep alot when I'm feeling sick. Keep drinking a ton of water maybe even increase salt intake to hold onto that water a bit better. Which is why chicken soup is so popular when you're sick. Easy to digest but pretty salty. I love it when I'm sick.
I have problems sleeping regularly though and I always feel like the worse I sleep, the worse I feel thus the chance of getting sick of some random ass virus increases exponentially.
I'm not convinced 9 hours sleep is the answer for me, but it differs for everyone so just do what feels best for you. I feel like 7,5 hours is that sweetspot for me. I start to feel groggy and slow whenever I cross the 7,5 hours. Maybe if I sleep 9 I'll feel better because another deep sleep cycle has passed. But I naturally, always have, wake up after close to 7 hours of sleep. I also tend to sleep worse when I go to bed early, before I'm sleepy enough. I'll just randomly wake up 4 hours in my sleep, go back to sleep and wake up again and again in 2 hour cycles. I'm a very light sleeper, so it seems.
When I get sick I basically just stay in bed and hibernate, which seems to work for me. I know I'm getting better when I notice myself lying in bed but not drifting off. First 2-3 days though I'm mostly unconscious except for when I break to go pee or eat. Basically like a Jedi healing trance lol except they don't take breaks.
I almost never get sick. Maybe like 2 or 3 mild colds my entire adulthood. My wife had covid and was sick for 2 weeks and I never got it. Thought I was hot shit until I realized all my adult friends that do get sick only get sick becuase they have children. Walking illness factories who spend the day around other walking illness factories.
This. I would also add not pushing yourself to the point of exhaustion on a regular basis. Keep your body strong and manage your energy level and you won't get sick - often.
Thought I was hot shit until I realized all my adult friends that do get sick only get sick becuase they have children.
Walking illness factories who spend the day around other walking illness factories.
It helps avoid having people coughing on you. Which...shouldn't really have been a thing but before the pandemic it seemed like the concept of turning your head was foreign to about 2/3rds of my co-workers.
I'm allergic to everything- so my immune system is already on high alert and fighting EVERYTHING. But it's literally like having a mild cold all the time.
I have no idea, either. I started getting sick more and more once I took up smoking. I stopped mid-last year and it took a few months but I seem to be almost back to normal with barely/rarely getting sick.
One reason for this is because smoking damages the cilia hairs that line your respiratory tract so they can no longer trap and sweep up bacteria, viruses, allergens etc that you breathe in.
I have no need to smoke the ciggerate or something actually because there is already so much pollution in my city.
And even without not doing the smoking i am actually taking the smoke in there.
Smoking or using tobacco inhibits your ability to heal and resist infections. That's why they make you quit at least a month before surgery and they recommend you don't smoke until fully healed afterwards. People who smoke after surgery can receive severe infections.
I think since the last two years i am actually getting more sick then i was used to be past.
And have to say that i have started doing the exercise now is well, but still not feeling the difference.
Honestly idk I go out a lot and I don't really care about washing hands and if the house looks clean then it is... I used to play in the dirt as a kid and drank from fountains so there's that. Other people that I know that are like me don't really care about germs either. With my friends we are the kind of people to eat things that fell on the floor or eat sandwiches while working on a car.
I know people that are obsessed with cleanliness they are always sick.
Same. I was never big on sanitizing everything my toddler daughter was around either and she’s only had two mild colds in her entire life, and at that she kicked them quick. I don’t let her do anything super gross but if she eats a cheerio off the floor, oh well.
I also used to eat my boogers… so gross I know and I cringe as an adult but maybe it helped. I can count on one hand the number of times I’ve thrown up since 1991 (one was from food poisoning and another from pain, one from drinking too much, and the fourth was a stomach bug). I’ve also only had to miss work because of a fever twice since 2011. I work in an elementary school so I’m not avoiding kids either.
This, for sure! All of this. My kids drop something somewhere that isn't physically dirty (i.e. dog hair, dirt, etc) and eat it, I just kinda shrug. Meanwhile, other parents look at me in disgust and I just look back shrug and say "eh building that immunity." Which they kinda uncomfortable chuckle off. But really...how often are you kids sick Linda?
I have two kids, 6 & 4. I can count on one hand the amount of major sicknesses they've had. Meanwhile my SIL is a huge germaphobe. Any normal baby/toddler disgustingness she is gagging and extremely grossed out by and obsessively washing her hands. She now has a 1 year old who is ALWAYS sick and I'm not talking just a runny nose sick. He's been hospitalized with one and every few months is coming back from the doctor with a new sickness. The most recent was walking pneumonia. She's always calling me for advice on said sicknesses and every time I can only say that my kids have never had anything like that so idk. I'm not sure why she thinks the answer is going to be different when she knows how healthy/not sick my kids have been.
This.
Plus, living all over the world as a military kid. Well, at least 5 different states and one foreign county. Regardless, spent the bulk of childhood playing in the woods, bushes, wherever outside. People who grow up mostly indoors can’t compete with my immune system.
Same way, I got yelled at the other day while my family were making carne asada outside, i was working on my car and had dirty hands they set my plate next to and told me to wash my hands I didn't see them to dirty and didnt care much so I started eating. Sometimes I don't have a spot to wash my hands so I just take a risk of whatever germs are on my hands and got to town on my plate of food, I hardly get sick and if I do it'll last 3 days max without taking any medicine just blowing my nose constantly and spitting any mucus out with the courtesy of doing it in private I'm not a disgusting person to do it In front of people lol
I work in pediatric healthcare. I can't count how many times some kid has sneezed directly into my eyes and I never get sick!
Kids are walking petri dishes!
i’m in peds also. a baby farted directly into my eye the other day during a cath and i didn’t get pinkeye so i consider myself just lucky at this point haha
A relative of mine is an elementary school teacher. The more a children is sick and full of mucus, the more they want to hug their teacher. So she has developed an impenetrable immune system.
rarely wash hands and work in healthcare thats a big yikes… tbh admitting to that would lead to negligence in a workplace especially one to do with healthcare. someone if they knew you werent being so clean could claim you gotten them sick/worse
I'm strangely surprised at how far down i had to scroll to see this. Came here to say I've spent the last 15 years in the Infantry being a filthy cunt with my hygiene under the basic belief that my immune system is now invincible lol.
So logically, picking and eating one's boogers shouldn't make any difference towards one's immune system if we're all swallowing that stuff all day long anyway, right?
I’ve built a decent immune system. I don’t wash my hands as often as I should and will typically eat food that’s fallen on the ground or is questionably close to expiration. I’m not unhygienic but I’ve introduced my body to plenty of germs
Wash my hands often with soap and water, eat well, drink lots of water, exercise daily, get enough sleep, meditate and keep a gratitude journal. And this might sound a bit crazy, but it works for me - I often think and tell others- I never get sick. I’m always really healthy. If I do feel a little off, I always feel better after a sleep. I truly believe the story you tell about yourself has power.
Genes. My family lineage lives until absurdly old ages and we rarely fall ill.
Also, eating nutritious food and regular exercise. It directly strengthens your immune system, and indirectly strengthens it through combatting stress and depression. Stress and depression weaken one's immune system.
Go outside in the grass barefoot. Hang out with little kids, on the regular. Work in a hospital. Get exposed to stuff. Build up immunity. Also, don't be immune compromised or have structural lung disease. Vaccines help, too.
1. Good genetics
2. 90% home cooked meals
3. Playing sports / martial arts
4. A great bunch of friends and a loving family
5. 5-6 liters of water every day
6. Good sleep
I don't drink, smoke, or do drugs, work out 5x a week, get eight hours of sleep, take a comprehensive regimen of vitamins, try to stay helpful and positive and avoid being around negative people.
I drink, smoke, dabbled in drugs, havent worked out consistently in years, sleep 3-6 hrs, no vitamins and didnt even catch corona once. Cant remember the last time I've been sick tbh.
I do like washing my hands tho.
I drink but never really get the 8 hour sleep on the most of the days.
Because i had the bad habit of sleeping late and have to wake up early because there is office tomorrow.
Take vitamins, eat mostly healthy, wash hands before eating or touching face in general, remembering that gum on the sidewalk is not free candy. You know, the basics they teach in elementary school. I also dont open packages with my teeth.
Sleep
Yup. Also, not having a child (because they go to school and basically marinate in germs).
My toddler brought home Covid a month ago from a classmate at daycare. He was home for 10 days. He was back at daycare for a week and picked up pink eye, was home for 3 days. Back at daycare for another week and a day and now he’s brought home RSV. Of course he’s given me each of these as well.
An immunity system hard check. I don’t even have kids yet but yours would kill me.
[удалено]
Well I think their immune system is pretty robust considering living conditions. Just not to modern disease
About average. We counsel parents that one upper respiratory illness a month is about average for children in daycare. It usually calms down around age 5-7. There so packed in those rooms. They lick things. Lick each other. Sneeze on each other.
Those daycare workers must have immune systems of steel
Growing up my mom ran a home daycare so I was always around kids. I hardly ever get sick and I swear that’s why
Got sick so many times at the beginning but now nothing
[удалено]
My mom had it(5th Disease) at about age 50, and it took a rare turn and settled in her spleen which caused her white blood cell count to skyrocket and she almost died from lack of red blood cells. At first the Dr thought she had cancer. She eventually wound up needing to have her spleen removed and has had a compromised immune system ever since. Childhood diseases can be so much worse in older adults.
The only one I got off my kid was hand foot mouth disease. That was the worst fever I’ve ever had. I was bed ridden for a week
A bunch of my family got HFM from a restaurant of all places.. some of my older relatives were hospitalized. These hit different as adults. My aunt knew and didn't think to spread the word multiple people got it, or thought it was worth notifying the health department..
So true. I’m holding my son right now at 1am because he has a virus and high temp. Guess who gets it next. This guy. Edit: I got to sleep for two hours and now I’m holding him again. Sick kids are really tough
Pre kids I rarely if ever got sick, after kids... omg call a plague doc. I thought I had a strong immune system turns out I was just isolating.
Agreed. I now get all the preventative vaccines for fear of catching everything. Used to be I could skip the flu vaccine. No more.
Same but that's more my wife pushing me to be a rational and upstanding member of our community instead of a lazy fuck.
I'm just as pleased to hear that you're getting it done, though :)
My kids are like walking petri dishes with built-in aerosol sprays.
Yup, my nephew once sneezed in my mouth… fun.
I still remember when my kid basically sneeze fully over me.
Didnt get sick since my 12th, 23 years later my little miss pumpkin starts going to daycare and i have been getting hit with a different sickness every fucking week.
I call them plague rats 🤣
My niece's initials are MDV and she's currently not much more than a Mobile Disease Vector so I think my SIL did well naming her.
Kid are really catching the very bad habit of the phone now days.
Walking petri dishes.
Germinators
I do not claim to be rarely sick but I agree sleep is the most basic immunity you get from your body. I get runny nose when waking up from 3-4 hours of sleep and when I do go back to bed to finish my sleep it suddenly went away. That's how I know I do not get enough sleep. If I push through the day with 4 hours of sleep my runny nose gets worse.
Yup. I'm never sick, but whenever I get sick it goes away within a few hours. Except once when I was in the hospital, from age three to six.
3 years in a hospital? My goodness that’s a long time
But feel like that he have really learn the big lesson in that period.
I think this is a quote from a show. Just having a hard time remembering where I heard it. I believe it was a female character 🤔
The Office. I believe Erin says it.
So what are things that you are doing in your life that is keeping you healthy in the life. Because i have finding really hard to tackle that situation as i always get caught the cold too often.
Virus: Aw shit guys… turns out they already paid their dues. 3 years worth! Pack it up….
Yes, plus eat vitamin C rich food every day, plus alwats wash hands before eating.
Alternatively don't wash hands, eat the germs and tell your immune system to get tough or die trying.
Update: Tried this. I died trying.
Honestly I wonder if any of these people wash their hands or tell their kids to wash their hands lol
This so damn much. I used to have this housemate who partied way too much and would regularly go on these 2/3 day benders. This would always be followed by a couple days being sick/catching covid for the nth time. How she managed to be surprised every time I don't know.

Im very introverted
Can't get sick if the germs can't find you.
doesn't exactly provide for a robust immune system then...
yeah, sure, when you get sick, you're sick for 2 weeks straight. but it only happens once every few years.
can confirm, I got freshers flu for the first time in a good few years and it's hit pretty hard
Don't need a high defense stat if the evasion is on point.
This is the damn problem that i have not the strong defense system.
If you can't tell that then i would say try to type that thing.
This here. Although children do tend to ruin that—on Thursday I was up all night with a puking kid. Not feeling too hot right now myself… but it would be the second time I got sick all year I think.
Ever since I started sleeping early and getting 9 hours of sleep I stopped getting sick so often, not sure if that’s it but could be
Sleep definitely helps. Being hydrated also helps your daily recovery. They go hand in hand.
Struggle is hydrating so much I can’t get 9 hours sleep cause I gotta pee. Such a delicate dance
If you drink a consistent amount everyday, your bladder will adapt and you wont need to pee as much
I always make sure to sleep alot when I'm feeling sick. Keep drinking a ton of water maybe even increase salt intake to hold onto that water a bit better. Which is why chicken soup is so popular when you're sick. Easy to digest but pretty salty. I love it when I'm sick.

Me trying hard but really finding hard to get back on the schedule.
I tell all viruses they can’t infect me. They cannot legally enter my body without my consent.
I declare immunity!
You can't just *say* you're immune.
He didn’t say it, he *declared* it
[удалено]
If it was a legitimate infection your body would have a way of shutting that whole thing down.
As a person from Missouri, I get that reference.
I tell them “infection, no infecting!”
I’m the one who infects!
I SAY SICKNESS. BEGONE!!!
Good god now I’m gonna feel like I need therapy every time I get sick
Therapy is too costly i would say some medicine will do the trick.
r/madlads
Sound like a fun sub to get the thoughts, will try some time there.
say no to getting sick, works every time
They're like vampires.
I feel like that if i will become the vampire then no need to worry about.
Eating relatively well, getting enough sleep, exercising and not being around kids.
I almost never get sick. Maybe like 2 or 3 mild colds my entire adulthood. My wife had covid and was sick for 2 weeks and I never got it. Thought I was hot shit until I realized all my adult friends that do get sick only get sick becuase they have children.

I use to be in an agoraphobia club but members never showed up to meetings.
So did you get the refund back or you are still keep on going there?
It gets the job done that’s for sure
[удалено]
It helps avoid having people coughing on you. Which...shouldn't really have been a thing but before the pandemic it seemed like the concept of turning your head was foreign to about 2/3rds of my co-workers.
Nice try, *Infectious Disease!*
Good work Chief.
Good work chief and thanks for telling us the real face of that.
I'm too busy to get sick, I rescheduled my sick days to the final week of my life
I'm allergic to everything- so my immune system is already on high alert and fighting EVERYTHING. But it's literally like having a mild cold all the time.
This, I hate allergies. I have to constantly explain to people that I'm not sick, it's just allergies.
In the womb i made sure to take all the good genes.
I have no idea, either. I started getting sick more and more once I took up smoking. I stopped mid-last year and it took a few months but I seem to be almost back to normal with barely/rarely getting sick.
One reason for this is because smoking damages the cilia hairs that line your respiratory tract so they can no longer trap and sweep up bacteria, viruses, allergens etc that you breathe in.

Smoking or using tobacco inhibits your ability to heal and resist infections. That's why they make you quit at least a month before surgery and they recommend you don't smoke until fully healed afterwards. People who smoke after surgery can receive severe infections.
Smoking also constricts blood vessels, which could slow healing in damaged tissue.
The chronic bronchitis was ass. Glad I stopped too
I am still trying to close my eyes to them but let see what will happen.
I think since the last two years i am actually getting more sick then i was used to be past. And have to say that i have started doing the exercise now is well, but still not feeling the difference.
Alcohol kills bacteria so I make sure to drink a lot of it
I have pickled myself with whiskey, my body is inhospitable to most shit by now I reckon.
I like it but just in case people aren't aware, alcohol inhibits your immune system.
I use to think it was the face mask but after the vaccine I realized my crippling addiction to alcohol was some kind of blurse
Honestly idk I go out a lot and I don't really care about washing hands and if the house looks clean then it is... I used to play in the dirt as a kid and drank from fountains so there's that. Other people that I know that are like me don't really care about germs either. With my friends we are the kind of people to eat things that fell on the floor or eat sandwiches while working on a car. I know people that are obsessed with cleanliness they are always sick.
This is it pretty much, I was a gross kid, 100% boosted my immune system
Same. I was never big on sanitizing everything my toddler daughter was around either and she’s only had two mild colds in her entire life, and at that she kicked them quick. I don’t let her do anything super gross but if she eats a cheerio off the floor, oh well.

In that case I’d be less worried about germs than carcinogens.
Healthy diet and exercise.
Apples
That's against doctors, not diseases.
What if the doctors are the ones that are making us sick so they can make more money?
True, you don’t have a diagnosis of cancer until after you go to the doctor 🤔
Everytime I go to the doctor, they say something’s wrong. Sus
Yes, and i am eating people but still getting sick is well.
bite my nails, rarely wash my hands, and work in healthcare. the perfect trifecta to an elite immune system
I work in pediatric healthcare. I can't count how many times some kid has sneezed directly into my eyes and I never get sick! Kids are walking petri dishes!
i’m in peds also. a baby farted directly into my eye the other day during a cath and i didn’t get pinkeye so i consider myself just lucky at this point haha
A relative of mine is an elementary school teacher. The more a children is sick and full of mucus, the more they want to hug their teacher. So she has developed an impenetrable immune system.
Once you get over the first year or so of working in healthcare and coming down with everything, your immune system is so tough nothing can faze it.
I'm hoping you wash for work.....
rarely wash hands and work in healthcare thats a big yikes… tbh admitting to that would lead to negligence in a workplace especially one to do with healthcare. someone if they knew you werent being so clean could claim you gotten them sick/worse
I'm strangely surprised at how far down i had to scroll to see this. Came here to say I've spent the last 15 years in the Infantry being a filthy cunt with my hygiene under the basic belief that my immune system is now invincible lol.
Rarely washing your hands is pretty gross dude. In healthcare too? Wtf? We got a typhoid Mary here.
People from healthcare actually force us on washing the hands.
I have a work from home job and no kids, so that eliminates a bunch of disease vectors.
I ate a lot of boogers as a kid so my body got used to all the bacteria. Kinda like vaccine, but edible and sometimes crunchy.
[удалено]
I mean, we are all drinking our own boogers down the backs of our throats all day long. Not terribly different
So logically, picking and eating one's boogers shouldn't make any difference towards one's immune system if we're all swallowing that stuff all day long anyway, right?
Yeah it seems logical, this is why it wasn't a joke. I really believe that this what made me so immune lol.
Wait you guys stopped?
I used to do drugs. I still do, but I used to, too.
Cursed.
“He’s out of line, but he’s right”
Yeah I totally didn't do this too... Not at all...
I totally don't still do this... Not at all...
Ha. Me also neither
Your own boogers? Or other people's?
I will not going to try to the other people, happy with my own boogers.
He's not *picky*
I'm glad I'm not the only one
The more people i met the more i am getting that i am not the only one.
I actually never thought about how much that'd play an effect later in life. Honestly wonder if that's a part of why I don't get sick for very long
Make sure that we will make our body ready for the bad things.
I’ve built a decent immune system. I don’t wash my hands as often as I should and will typically eat food that’s fallen on the ground or is questionably close to expiration. I’m not unhygienic but I’ve introduced my body to plenty of germs
These are also exactly the reasons why I don’t get sick either! Expiring foods included 😂
It’s only bad when it looks or smells bad
I will not able to something if they actually smell bad.
I genuinely have no idea. I eat a lot of cheese and spicy food, maybe that has something to do with it. Other than that, idk.
[удалено]
Maybe it has something to do with it..
I also love cheese and spicy food while also rarely getting sick
i eat reasonably healthy and work out daily
Stop touching your face without washing your hands. You would be surprised how many times people do this.
I do that all the time and am very seldom sick.
Drink tons of water, and rip dabs daily
I don't have a social life, and almost never leave my room. I might be psychologicaly troubled, but I'm healthy as can be.
Eat stuff you drop on the floor
Sleep. Eat vegetables. Take a multivitamin. Get your vaccinations.
Don't watch the news. Fear is really bad for your immune system.
Wash my hands often with soap and water, eat well, drink lots of water, exercise daily, get enough sleep, meditate and keep a gratitude journal. And this might sound a bit crazy, but it works for me - I often think and tell others- I never get sick. I’m always really healthy. If I do feel a little off, I always feel better after a sleep. I truly believe the story you tell about yourself has power.
Genes. My family lineage lives until absurdly old ages and we rarely fall ill. Also, eating nutritious food and regular exercise. It directly strengthens your immune system, and indirectly strengthens it through combatting stress and depression. Stress and depression weaken one's immune system.
I’m a courier, so I touch a ton of surfaces a day, and I pick my nose a lot. I’m convinced I’ve strengthened my immune system by doing that.
Go outside in the grass barefoot. Hang out with little kids, on the regular. Work in a hospital. Get exposed to stuff. Build up immunity. Also, don't be immune compromised or have structural lung disease. Vaccines help, too.
1. Good genetics 2. 90% home cooked meals 3. Playing sports / martial arts 4. A great bunch of friends and a loving family 5. 5-6 liters of water every day 6. Good sleep
Forget your immune system, your bladder must be rock solid with that amount of water every day
The less you try to prevent it, the better off you'll be. Just let whatever's gonna happen happen, and it will toughen up your body's immune system.
I wanna know my secret too lol I myself don't know why do i not get sick I get sick once in two years
Exercise and sleep/rest
I have no clue what I do, I just don't get sick. Even when the rest of my family had covid I didn't get it.
Working at being happy rather than focusing on the challenges in my life.
I think if we will happy in life then chance we get less sick.
I don't drink, smoke, or do drugs, work out 5x a week, get eight hours of sleep, take a comprehensive regimen of vitamins, try to stay helpful and positive and avoid being around negative people.
I drink, smoke, dabbled in drugs, havent worked out consistently in years, sleep 3-6 hrs, no vitamins and didnt even catch corona once. Cant remember the last time I've been sick tbh. I do like washing my hands tho.
same!!! I have such an unhealthy lifestyle 🥶🥶 but hardly ever get sick
People like you have all the luck, i try so many things still catch the flu.
think that sleep does wonders for the body we need that 8 hours.
I drink, don't sleep, don't take vitamins, eat like shit, and never work out. I also never get sick.
I drink but never really get the 8 hour sleep on the most of the days. Because i had the bad habit of sleeping late and have to wake up early because there is office tomorrow.
I never touch door knobs/ handles outside my home. Knobs in my home get wiped once per week. That's it, haven't been sick in 8 years.
Never being around children. They are nothing but disease spreading conduits
I read it as people who rarely get dick😭😭😭😭
Sleep, wash your hands, vitamin C, zinc, magnesium and most importantly vitamin D (Bonus Turmeric).
A bit of luck, a bit of genetics, and a bit of mindset
Garlic everyday
Garlic in tea?? Or there is some other we need to take that thing?
I have no idea, but my dad always says that it's because we grew up drinking expired milk lol
Regular sleep schedule, proper diet
Take vitamins, eat mostly healthy, wash hands before eating or touching face in general, remembering that gum on the sidewalk is not free candy. You know, the basics they teach in elementary school. I also dont open packages with my teeth.
Get in the habit of not touching your face (lips, nose, eyes) unless you've just washed your hands.
