It’s the worst feeling in the world: having to miss work or an important event because you’re sick and don’t want to spread your germs to everyone else around you. While it’s nearly impossible to be completely immune from sickness, there are things you can do to drastically reduce the chances of getting sick while minimizing the impact on your life if you do get sick. Here are 7 secrets of people who never get sick.
1) They clean their hands regularly
People who don’t get sick often focus on their health and cleanliness, which can help them stay healthy. This includes washing hands regularly to avoid the spread of germs, getting enough sleep to stay energized, and eating a balanced diet. Lack of health leads to a lack of energy, immune system breakdowns, headaches, stomachaches, and much more.
People who are constantly in good health feel better about themselves and this is reflected in their actions toward other people.
This group also has fewer doctor’s appointments because they are not constantly feeling like something is wrong with them.
They do things that make them happy: One secret to staying healthy is doing things that you enjoy doing so you can live life fully rather than just focusing on your illness or pain. Maintaining an active social life by hanging out with friends or volunteering at a charity event keeps us connected with our community while giving us a sense of purpose we might not have otherwise felt we had.
2) They don’t touch their face
1) They don’t touch their face. Do you often pick or rub your nose or eyes? You may be transferring bacteria from your hands to those areas and causing a cold. 2) They wash their hands. Cleaning your hands regularly can help you avoid germs that are passed by hand-to-hand contact and will also prevent the spread of illness to others, should you come in contact with them. 3) They cut down on contact with people who are sick. It is important to try not to get too close to people who are sick and might be contagious, like someone who has a cold or flu, so as not to catch their illness yourself. 4) They stay away from public places when they feel ill.
3) They are active
Being active is the key to staying healthy. The best way to stay fit is to do something you enjoy, whether it’s a hiking, biking, or swimming. You’ll be more likely to stick with it if you find a routine that works for you. Join a sports team, take a dance class or go on a bike ride with friends. You’ll feel better physically and mentally and reduce your risk of illness. They don’t let stress rule their life: Chronic stress has been linked to an increased risk of heart disease, obesity, and diabetes. Keep things in perspective by practicing yoga or meditation. They don’t smoke: Cigarette smoking has been linked to cancer, COPD, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and heart attacks among other ailments. Quit smoking today! They are careful about what they eat: Studies have shown that some people may be sensitive to foods like gluten and dairy – those who are lactose intolerant may notice a reduction in stomach pain when they cut back on milk products, for example. Experiment with different diets until you find one that works for you. If your food makes you feel good then keep eating it!
4) They have good sleep hygiene
A good night’s sleep is essential to maintain a healthy immune system. Sleep deprivation can lead to decreased immune function and more frequent illnesses. If you’re not getting enough sleep, try these tips for improving your sleep hygiene:
– Go to bed at the same time each night – Adjust your wake-up time so that it matches your natural sleep cycle (circadian rhythm) – Take a nap if you’re feeling drowsy – Avoid caffeine and alcohol close to bedtime – Exercise early in the day, not later in the evening – Keep your bedroom temperature cool (60 degrees)
5) They avoid sugar, dairy, and alcohol
Sugar, dairy, and alcohol have all been linked to inflammation in the body. Sugar and dairy can lead to skin problems and alcohol increases your risk for cancer. All three of these things contribute to an unhealthy lifestyle which is why it’s important to avoid them at all costs! I also recommend eating a plant-based diet: Plant-based foods contain high amounts of fiber and are packed with antioxidants that fight disease. When you consume too many animal proteins, like meat, you put yourself at risk for developing cancers or kidney stones. In order to maintain a healthy gut environment, make sure you eat plenty of probiotics through fermented foods or supplements. They improve gut health by preventing pathogenic bacteria from invading the intestinal tract and causing digestive issues like diarrhea or gas. Finally, make sure you get enough sleep each night because it has been shown that lack of sleep leads to weaker immunity as well as chronic stress levels–a combination proven to harm our immune systems over time!
I hope this helps!
6) They eat fiber-rich foods
Eating fiber-rich foods helps to keep your digestive system running smoothly and keeps you feeling full. Plus, fiber is essential for a healthy immune system. In addition, it can help maintain proper cholesterol levels and regulate blood sugar and insulin levels. Include vegetables, whole grains, fruits, nuts, and seeds in your diet every day. How often do you get sick?
I’ve never been sick! Okay, that’s not true but the last time I had something like the flu was back when dinosaurs roamed the earth – which feels like an eternity ago (it was about three years ago). You see, during those three years, I ate more salads than hamburgers and drank more water than soda pop. As a result, my immune system became strong enough to ward off any virus that came my way. And while this sounds too good to be true, there are some scientific studies that support these claims as well.
7) They stay positive
Emotionally healthy people are able to deal with stress in a way that doesn’t impact their physical health. So when they’re faced with a challenging situation, they can react in a positive way. This leads to a healthier life not just emotionally but physically as well. It’s also been proven through studies that positive thoughts create a healthier body and negative thoughts create a less healthy one. They take care of themselves: The majority of the time you don’t get sick because you have poor hygiene, it’s because you have compromised immune systems and open wounds on your body. They focus on their mental well-being: Your emotional state has an effect on your physical condition so taking care of yourself mentally it will allow your body to heal more quickly if it becomes sick or injured. They are active: Doing exercises like yoga or taking walks can lower stress levels and lead to better sleep which increases immunity against colds or illnesses.
