Being sick is not fun at all

The Secrets of People Who Never Get Sick ~ by Gene Stone, 2010, health and fitness, 212 pages

Who does not want to be healthier?  The author wanted to find out what might actually prevent him from getting sick himself.  This book tells the stories of twenty-five people who each possess a different secret of excellent health — a secret that makes sense and that Stone discovered has a scientific underpinning.  There are:
  1. food secrets — take garlic and vitamin C, eat more probiotics, become a vegan, drink a tonic of brewer’s yeast.
  2. exercise secrets — the benefits of lifting weights, the power of stretching.
  3. environmental secrets — living in a Blue Zone, understanding the value of germs.
  4. emotional secrets — seek out and stay in touch with friends, cultivate your spirituality.
  5. physical secrets — nap more, take cold showers in the morning.
There's a lot more, as you can see from this photo of the contents pages.  The stories make it personal, the research makes it real, and the do-it-yourself information shows how to integrate each secret into your own life, and become the next person who never gets sick.

  1. The topic of my Monday Musing post was a Mozart Concerto, HERE.
  2. On TWOsday, I posted two photos my two daughters sent while traveling to visit me, HERE.
  3. Wednesday's Word was "parasocial," HERE, pre-posted long before my daughters came to visit.
  4. I didn't post while my daughters were here, so that's it for my blogging week.
