Why Some People Never Get Sick

We all know someone that never takes a sick day, right? It's not that they're a work-a-holic, it's just that they NEVER catch whatever's floating around the office. How in the heck do they do it? Stumbled across a book by Gene Stone called The Secrets of People Who NEver Get Sick, which profiled 25 people who have successfully fended off illness their whole lives. Here are a few of their tips:

Nap! Lack of sleep compromises your immune system and triggers stress. The best time for a nap is between one and three in the afternoon

Friends. Having friends and making new friends seems to increase self-esteem, which in turn, supports the immune system.

Cold Showers! Cold water may increase the body's natural antioxidants

Brewer's Yeast. Packed with B vitamins, protein and trace minerals, it's good for overall health.

Lifting Weights. Pumping some iron may reduce the risk of heart disease, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, colon and breast cancer, depression and diabetes.

It's not what you DO on Valentines Day, it's what you DON'T do! Here are some hints (insert blog address)

Valentine's DON'TS!

What's more important on Valentines Day - What you do, or what you DON'T DO? For guys, it's most likely the latter. Yahoo! posted a list of "things to avoid at all cost on Valentines Day."

#1 DON"T have huge expectations - It's not about how much money is spent, it's about the little things.

#2 DON"T fight with your lover - Call a truce and don't sweat the small stuff on Valentines Day

#3 DON"T sit at home if you're single - Gather a group of friends and head out to a restaurant. If you're alone, go shopping or get a massage.

#4 DON'T Compare - Don't get jealous if your girlfriend got two dozen roses and you got a single stem. It's not fair to take something like that out on your partner.

#5 DON'T make excuses - It's a Hallmark Holiday, but go out and celebrate.

That's half the list, you can read the other half here

EDITOR's NOTE: Allow me add one more -- treat your partner special throughout the year and you won't have to GET STRESSED OUT ON VALENTINES DAY! Thank GOD UP ABOVE that I'm married to a woman that looks and laughs at Feb. 14th as a day we're SUPPOSED to express our love for each other. If you need a cue, that's sad. Rant over....

Did You Know...

If you're intentionally looking to raise a stupid child, feed him a diet high in fat, sugar and processed foods. According to a new study, eating habits as young as three shapes the brain performance as they get older. A processed food diet at three is directly associated with lower IQ at the age of 8 1/2. All the details are here.

Joke of the Day

A man trying to understand the nature of God asked him: "God, how long is a million years to you?"

God answered: "A million years is like a minute."

Then the man asked: "God, how much is a million dollars to you?"

And God replied: "A million dollars is like a penny."

Finally, the man asked: "God, could you give me a penny?"

And God said: "In a minute."
