already I know you don't want to get
sick
I mean who wants to wake up in the
morning with a hundred two degree fever
nausea body aches I have all the tips on
how to not get sick right here more
socks when your feet get cold your
entire body gets chilled even your nose
and mouth what your body's doing is
protecting you from losing heat by
redirecting blood to your vital organs
but that's bad because now you have no
immune protection in your nose from the
viruses and bugs that live there
year-round more honey
I hate the term superfood all that is is
a word created by marketers to make
money but the food that comes closest to
that term is honey
not only does honey help control your
cough as good or better than some
over-the-counter cough suppressants but
it also has antibacterial properties
there's such thing as medical grade
honey that's used to help wound heal
when antibiotics aren't working so
instead of white or brown sugar throw
some honey in your tea bless supplements
say I need those broke actually no you
don't it's never been proven that
vitamins will prevent you from getting
sick all that is is marketing hype
designed to sell you these and all
you're doing is flushing money down the
toilet literally because you pee them
out more

there have been a few interesting
studies that have even surprised me
about getting hands on getting massages
having sex those things seem to have
boosts of the immune response so it's
not unwise to get cozy during winter
time less stress stress can really get
the better of you if you let it I said
no phones see what I mean when your body
is stressed it creates something known
as cortisol which is a stress hormone
that actually hampers your body's immune
response so relax meditate a little take
a chill pill more exercise exercise
boosts your immune system not only does
it improve your white blood cells and
the antibodies which fight off all the
viruses and bacteria within your body
but exercise also prevents your body
from releasing stress hormones exercise
with light or moderate intensity and do
that even if you're already sick as long
as you don't have a fever less alcohol
no thanks despite you feeling warmer
when you're drinking alcohol your body
temperature is actually dropping which
can hurt your immune system and its
ability to fight off infection Oh drink
the alcohol kill the germs no it doesn't
complete myth busted done no kill it if
you're sick or getting sick do not drink
alcohol it'll only hurt your immune
system disinfect your phone and your
digits yeah I'm looking at you you poop
on your phone bacteria that normally
lives within poop lives on your digits
and on your phone and forget poop
bacteria think about all the places that
you put your phone down all day on the
table on the floor it's covered by
viruses and bacteria listen normally I'm
not so anti bacteria I don't believe
that we should be killing bacteria all
the time because there's such thing as
good bacteria but in this case sanitize
your hands and your phone more water
it's so important that you stay hydrated
because when you don't have enough water
your body isn't able to maintain your
immune system flush out toxins and when
you're sick your body loses more water
than usual
more sleep it's the cheapest and most
effective thing out of all of these tips
when you don't get at least six hours of
sleep the amount of natural killer cells
Falls by at least 50%
and they're your first line of defense
to kill the bugs that can get you sick
and I'm not trying to scare you here if
you get less than six hours one night
that's fine but if that becomes a
chronic problem a long-term problem and
you build up sleep debt that's when
infection can really set it more flu
shots you know more people getting flu
shots not you getting more than
wonderfully whatever the flu shot is our
biggest protection against the flu
everyone that's older than six months of
age yes that includes you should get the
flu shot there are very few exceptions I
want to put this thing to rest no you
cannot get the flu from the flu shot
yes there can be a coincidence and you
can get the actual flu from somewhere
else but not from the flu shot remember
it takes two weeks for the flu vaccine
to actually kick in oh not afraid of the
fluids the same thing as a cold no it's
not the flu virus claims over 30,000
lives per year in the u.s. less
antibiotics some of you think that when
you have the common cold or the flu and
you'll take antibiotics that you'll
recover quicker that is not the case
antibiotics work against bacteria not
viruses which is what common colds and
flus are by taking antibiotics you hurt
the good bacteria that's within your
stomach causing diarrhea and other sorts
of problems within your gun also when
you take antibiotics unnecessarily you
raise the chance of something called
antibiotic resistance which is the
creation of something called a super bug
there you go just a few things to keep
in mind but remember if you do get sick
from time to time it's not a problem in
the long term it just makes your body
stronger stay happy and stay healthy
check check check check check not
all when you don't get that sleep guess
what you don't have that optimal
function stress can really get the
better of you if you let it
I'm waiting dude if Y unless you're
gonna go like so how is this Peugeot
getting things like massage getting
things like massages there have been a
few studies that have piqued
even my curiosity there have even been a
few studies that have piqued my
curiosity so hey you know it's okay to
get sick from time to time in the long
run it's gonna keep you healthier and
more refreshed and whiter teeth
