"How Some Women Never Get Sick"

CNN has released a list of reasons why some women never get sick.

1. Get a massage - most studies show that massage can reduce anxiety, blood pressure, and heart rate. One woman interviewed for the story gets a massage once a month and is able to avoid all major bugs, even while volunteering regularly at schools and juvenile detention centers.
2. Take a cold shower - cold showers help with low energy, migraines, circulation, and pain reduction. Some even argue that this is French women's secret to firm breasts!
3. Treat GI problems "gingerly" - researchers believe its compounds stimulate digestive secretions, improve intestinal muscle tone, and helps move food through the gastrointestinal tact
4. Lather up (a lot) - wash your hands!
5. Try a cold-blasting cocktail
6. Eat more garlic - rich in antioxidants that boost immunity and fight inflammation
7. Stay positive - "the brain communicates with the immune system"

Do any of you follow any of these regimens?
