In Fluenza

So it seems to me that many people are starting to get sick, just as the weather is turning--for some--the most enjoyable. This includes myself. But I am really dissappointed because getting sick is the least favorable thing of fall and winter.

And with all Hallows Eve just behind us, I know most people are looking ahead to Thanksgiving. So lets all discuss certain ways in which we can avoid the Flu.
Starting off our crazy count down:
10. Actually get the flu shot.
You all should do this, even if you think it contains nothing but mind control hormones.

9.Run away from it like its a zombie
Statistics show that a regiment of daily exorcize will actually help the immune system by strengthening the heart

8.Drink the greater lakes
Evidence shows that a large intake of liquids will speed up your recovery if you do get sick. So drink up.

7.Invest money in Chevron
Aiding large petroleum companies helps speed along the process of making vaor rubs. Plus that extra cash return could always help...

6.Plan a trip to Florida
Yes, it is just as cold in the Sunshine state but consider the fact the Florida is also the Orange capitol of the United States. Mmm all the vitamin C

5.Get more sweet meats
David Katz, MD says that eating more brightly colored fruits high in anti-oxidents will boost your immune system naturally.

4.Get down with the sickness
Consuming probiotic bacteria not only helps to keep your intestines running smoothly but they also crowd the immune system, making the chance of viruses and other bacteria taking hold a thing of the past.

3.Take the Dawn challenge
Often, washing your hands (fore 20 seconds) is the most effective way of combating germs. If you cant do this one you should buy those mini hand-sanitizers (alcohol based). They are inexpensive if you get them at a 99 cent store.

2.Say yes to the Clean air innitiative
There is evidence that when someone sneezes the air around them is imbued with germs. So you should turn your head away from them for at least 10 seconds.

And the number one tip for not gettings sick?

1.Drink beer and have sex with your sweet heart
In one study, non-smokers who drank beer a few times a week were less likely to get sick.
And in another study, from Wilkes University in Pennsylvania,  said that students who had sex more often had more of the germ fighting antigen Immunoglodulin A. So get out there tiger and go get 'em.
