Avoid children

Wash hand regularly.

Being an introvert and maintaining a healthy diet.

Hand washing, distance from people, and willingness to wear a mask

Until last year i rarely got sick, "rarely" meaning maybe once a year and then only lightly. Since october/november last year i suddenly started getting sick almost once every month without any significant changes to any of the following:

• Social contact
• Diet
• Workout
• Sun/Outside time
• Happiness

Im the wrong person to ask for this obviously, because im still trying to figure out why im getting sick all of a sudden. The things i mentioned are probably still all valid factors tho.

• Avoid drugs (e.g. marijuana, alcohol, tobacco, caffeine)
• Get enough sleep (i.e. wake up naturally; no alarms)
• Regular exercise (primarily playing sports)
• Eat healthily (avoid sugar, avoid starchy food, eat lots of fatty meat and eggs)

• don't share food

• wash hands but avoid antibacterial soap

• get enough sleep

In my case, it's probably like that George Carlin bit about swimming in the Hudson. I am not a neat freak. I eat things I drop on the ground. Etc. It's like constantly vaccinating yourself against everything.

I just keep practicing most of the covid measures. When I am away I avoid touching my face, when I come home I wash my hands immediately, and I am also getting the optional vaccinations against influenza and the current covid strain whenever appropriate.

Doing this I haven't been sick for about 5 years now. Haven't even catched covid during the pandemic.

Growing up with dogs and sucking coins.

Immunities. I go outside and be exposed to the world, and I wash my hands.

When I do feel a sickness coming on I drop everything, crawl into bed, and give my body anything it needs to fight.. whether that's blankets or hot soup or cold cloths... and I sleep as much as humanly possible so my immunities don't have to worry about my conscious body while they're fighting.

I don't get sick more than once every few years. I do nothing special. I wash my hands, but probably should do it more. I am highly social, go to bars, have friends over, go to shows. I don't mask up anymore.

I'm 47 and I feel pretty much like I did at 20. I weigh the same, have more lines on my forehead and not as full hair, but I'm not bald.

Secrets? Lucky genetics, I'm sure. Of course, by putting this out into the universe, I'll probably get Hyper-mega Cow butt B7RQ Novel Toe Cancer.

Good luck with whatever ails you.

I used to get sick a lot, sore throats and colds at least a few times every winter and occasionally in the warmer months too. Since I started taking a daily multivitamin about 12 months ago I haven't really gotten sick since. I swear even hangovers aren't as bad these days. It's really remarkable, id recommend anyone give it a go.

Wasn't afraid of germs as a kid

Wash hands frequently

Sleep enough

Eat healthy

Avoid antibiotics unless truly necessary

I stay away from other people. Especially the sticky little snot goblins.

Sleep enough and not eat shit food for days in a row. If i get sick i have usually disregarded some of this.

I've always controlled my breathing in icky situations. Even before covid if I'm walking across the street from someone who is cough I'll even just do a full exhale and hold my breath until I can pass by extra distance.

That goes for in clubs, bars, the circus, the grocery store... the dog waste that didn't get picked up... really the list is endless

Otherwise I'm a pretty straightforward sharer and hugger, though I'm sure to wash my hands cause I don't like when they feel grimey.

I used to get sick all the time when I was in school. And then when I moved out on my own and had a full time job (providing over the phone tech support) I was sick quite often. I've also had periods in my life when I would go years without getting sick, but then about a year ago I've started using sick days again.

All of the periods of time when I was getting sick coincide with me not wanting to go to the places I' required to go (school, crappy workplaces, etc), and the periods of time when I wasn't sick I was enjoying my job and the people I worked with.

keep your fingers out of your eyes

I was my hands pretty often. I don't go crazy, just soap up and rinse.

I was a thumb sucker when I was a kid. I like to think that helped. There's no way anybody can get exposed to every germ that causes the common cold - there are just too many out there... but being exposed to as many as possible at a young age must help to some extent.

One year I got like 5 or 6 sinus infections. I went to an ENT doctor and they said "you have allergies". I take over the counter allergy meds every day, year round. No more sinus infections.

I can't remember when I last was "traditionally" sick (ie flu/cold etc) - however I also have a chronic autoimmune condition so I guess life is just taking a bit of pity on me.

Acquire one of those, and perhaps you too can have pity! I'm willing to trade but I doubt it'd be a fair trade...

I rarely get sick, but I'm not going to speculate why, and I wouldn't recommend taking advice from a thread like this. You can't really know all the mechanisms behind why you get sick or not. There are people who smoke two packs a day and are rarely sick, and I'm sure some of them attribute that to smoking.

If I'm traveling on trains/planes solo I wear a mask - every time I don't I then get ill 🤧 so it obviously works...

I wear a fitness tracker and keep an eye on my heart rate, you can often tell if you are actually coming down with something VS just being tired by looking at how your HR changes with exertion. If your coming down with something, relax, keep warm and eat well etc.

drink wata

Occasional plumbing work

Nothing like other people's shite and pish to boost the old immune system

5 second rule can be stretched

Eat local honey

Be lucky and have a good immune system

I don't stress about getting sick.

Eat mud pies and stuff off the ground

Exercise, sleep, and eat healthy.

Don't rub your face after being around sick people.

Wearing well fitted respirator masks, at least ffp2/N95
