Talking about pandemic: MrsMac and I stayed all winter up at the cabin and neither one of us got a cold or the flu.
What did we do:
> I did not work in a closed environment work space with a bunch of other folks,
> Washed our hands every time we got home from a visit outside the redoubt,
> Popped 3,000 iu's a day of D3,
> Ate a lot of food from our garden in the usual 1/3-1/3-1/3 ratio of; veggies, starch and protein,
> In my case, drank alcohol in moderation - Many days going without a drink. When I did drink it was mostly my hard
cider or wine,
> Didn't take a shower every single day. Tended to take one 2-3 times a week, and
> When invited to peoples houses for the holidays - If anyone in their family was sick, we made excuses and didn't
accept the invitation.
Similarly, the previous winter (2013-14) we did not get the flu either - Only a very mild cold. Lasted each of us, about a day. We followed a similar regiment.
How did you fare?
