I keep falling sick.
Last year I fell sick 4 times and each time I was knocked out for a week followed by a lingering cough for two weeks. I decided I don't want to fall sick in 2019 and really wanted to do something to boost my immune system, so this year I started drinking homemade green healthy juices every morning. I also started taking Vitamin D3 tablets. And generally I am sleeping well, which wasn't the case last year. It is only January and voila I fell sick again! Does anybody have any tips on how can I not keep falling sick?! 33 yo male here.
Do you workout ? Studies says physical activities make you less sick.
Vitamin C
I do put 1/2 to 1 lemon and oranges in my health juice almost daily.
Juices suck, eat fruits instead and drink lemon water.
Wim Hof cold therapy method
Yea somebody mentioned I should start taking cold showers. I used to at one point in my life and it helped me better my mood. I'll try and start again. Not easy though! Thanks for the suggestion.
Lick one of the poles on BART a tiny bit each day. After a few months your body will have built up resistance to all diseases and illnesses known to man, as well as some not yet known to man.
Also chow down on the turds you find laying on the ground around the Bay Area. Ingest everyone’s bacteria and you’re good to go.
@credit karma hehe.
stop eating out 10 times a week and stop munching on snacks from costco. dont eat meat and eat only home cooked food.
I don't eat snacks. But yes, I eat out daily. The instapot I got during the holidays is still unpacked! Thanks for the suggestion.
ur problem is not immunity your problem is lack of nutrition and that is due to outside food. outside food is cheapest quality, stale, devoid of nutrition, overcooked and lot of added fat and sugar but NO nutrition.
Just start running. Running is one of the few ways to improve immunity
Definitely agree with this. I hardly fall sick and I run almost everyday for 2 miles
You need Chyavanprash
Dude haha. Didn't think anbody will mention this. I did get it from the Indian store and have it once in a while. Didn't help. I'll continue taking it though.
It should be Dabur chyavanprash!
How happy are you in your life? How excited are you to wake up each morning? This will have a MUCH greater effect on your ability to fight off diseases than the vitamins. I was constantly taking vitamins, using daylight lamp (I live in Seattle, we don’t get sun in winter), I went to the gym religiously, etc, etc. Kept getting seasonally depressed and sick (flu/cold) a few times a year. Now my focus is on staying excited and happy about life. I don’t take vitamins, I don’t exercise, I don’t use daylight lamp. As an experiment, I tried to get sick by going outside in -10C wearing shorts multiple times a day until I can’t feel my hands or feet anymore, but I don’t get sick, I don’t get depressed. I haven’t gotten sick in 2 years.
I'm fine. It is when I fall sick that all the insecurities and anxities com back and I lose the will power to fight. I know what you mean though: I strongly believe in the mind body connection.
Well then it sounds like you have emotional issues/beliefs/?? to work through. Maybe try that?
Better diet and start working out. Working out generally helps improve your overall health. Cardio, weight lift and etc.
Thanks. I do lift weights (at home) but I've noticed when I push my body a lot it increases my chances of falling sick. So I stopped pushing myself too hard.
Any cardio? I was in the same situation as you and had just accepted that I get sick more often than other people. After I picked up running to help with overall fitness, I realized I had stopped getting sick every other month. Try to alternate light and heavy workouts to avoid pushing yourself too hard.
