I used to get sick at least twice a year, usually at the change of the seasons (around November and April). I tried many things (multi-vitamins, vitamin C, echinacea, Omega 3, etc.), and then my mom introduced me to resveratrol, which I take 250 mg every day. Now I hardly ever get sick. Give it a try.
I get a cough once a year like clock work. During September when weather changes and allergies start to act up. The mucus drainage irritates my throat and I cough. I keep coughing eventually I damage my throat and it becomes a issue. Really annoying.
Not as I recall.
But when I was a kid, they didnāt belong to the Twizzlers megabrand, so that may have changed.
Not to sound too much like a hippy, but city people need to get out in nature. Work all day indoors, drive inside a car, eat inside a restaurant, exercise I side a gym etc. Drop the gym and head to a forest, instead of a park. The billions more electrical charges j. Forest, the diversity and ever-changing everything really does wonders.
I eat shit, never excercise for the purpose of gaining health. But Iām always outside. I feel.colds coming on, flu etc. Even food poisoning now just lasts a short time, 12 to 24 hours, and my body fights it. Iām ashamed to admit how.lousy I eat, but.I feel because Iām out in real environments a lot my body has the ability to fight them. I used to live in a polluted city area for 8 years. I would be sick in a serious way 10 or more times a year, hospital 2 to 5 times. Used to be quite serious. For a 4 year stretch I would wake up nauseous and sick for a few hours every single day, even tried other countries hospitals to figure it out. My diet hasnāt changed much, but my outdoor lifestyle has and so has my stress level. Work and all that is essentially the same. I put great faith in mingling with a healthy environment to become healthy.

Yeah I think youāve got a point. The pollution I suck in nearly every day almost certainly has something to do with my decreased immunity. Itās just really hard to manage that because I live and work here. The best I can do is get a good air purifier for my homeā¦
Or city people live in high population density areas so they come in contact with other people carrying virus and bacteria. Many people have viruses and bacteria in them and donāt look and feel sick and can easily pass it on to others with lesser immunity or just their body doesnāt fight that particular strand well or possibly the virus mutates so itās easy to get sick.

Youāre too young or too stressed, your immune system is just not up to the task.
I think my untreated anxiety issues might be a bigger factor than I realize.
Iāve lived in this pollution for decades, and I never get colds. I think a lot of it comes down to heredity. Some people just have naturally stronger immune systems.
This may or may not be the issue. Are either of your parents especially susceptible to viruses?
Hygiene is also important when it comes to viruses. Wash your hands a lot, especially under your fingernails, and donāt touch your eyes, nose or mouth with your fingers.
Yup, like I said its years since I last got a cold but I get a ton of allergies !
Itās like cavities. Growing up my cousins would brush their teeth 10 times a day, morning, before bed, after meals etc. Floss and use mouth wash. They would just still get cavities. Me I brushed probably once a day in the morning as a kid and never had an issue, zero cavities.
Can someone please tick the solution box for this?

Maybe I have the worst of both immune systems. My dad doesnāt get sick very often but when he does it always knocks him on his ass. My mom gets little bugs here and there but rarely anything that makes her visibly ill.
Iām a very germ-conscious person, maybe to a fault. I wash my hands often and well. I guess Iām just unlucky!
Iām curious on if you eat much meat? I find many women to under eat meat and iron intake, itās especially important for women because of monthly cycles they have. You donāt have to eat meat but it takes effort to get the nutrition if you donāt.
You live with cows so how would you get sick?

How about people that āeatā finger nails?
I actually go out of my way to eat more meat and other iron-rich foods like spinach for that reason. Also because Iāve been trying to build more muscle. But there seems to be conflicting data on meat and immunity; some things Iāve read say that eating too much meat will actually lower your immune system.
