I used to get a really bad cold sore every two months. I've only had one in nearly three years after I went off
the rails on a ski trip a few years ago. I've had the flu once but I still surfed everyday except one, I could feel
I had it and I was tired, it just didn't hit me. I was under stress at the time.

I do feel the flu coming a few times a year but goes after 4 hours or so.

So avoid alcohol on RPD and stress.

This past week I felt something coming on, felt a little off. Then I went and ate some junk food and had a full on illness with weakness, diarrhea, etc, the very day after.

However, if you have one meal a day or 2 meals with a big interval between food, this is what a lot of people are calling 'intermittent fasting'. Probably going for a couple of days without wouldn't hurt..?

Post by: phatdave on July 22, 2009, 07:59:28 pm: -healthy relationships/social life (guess this would not just be less stress but more happiness!)
-breast-fed as children (very important, no?)
-potentially fasting (definately felt this one once before!)

good stuff.

I dont mean to sound unappreciative but 'healthy paleo diet/lifestyle'? I know that!! I was curious as to thing people might be able to quantify like the above that you might not recognise!

Your not even trying! :P

(I'm joking a little of course, i know the overall answer in simple :) )
