Ihave been getting sickabout every 3 months. Delvelops into pneumonia most of the time. My Dr says most people my age?

Yes, as people age their immune system does seem to become more susceptible to colds, flu, and pneumonia. Even younger individuals with health issues (diabetes) can be more susceptible to these too. Here are some tips that might help.1.

Wash your hands often and try to avoid touching your face as much as possible 2. Carry Lysol Wipes in your handbag and when you go shopping wipe the handle of the shopping cart before you start your trip through the store 3. Don't share drinking cups/glasses or eating utensils with others 4.

Replace your toothbrush every 3-4 months 5. Sneeze into your elbow not your hand, and even if you use a tissue you should still wash your hands 6. Try to get plenty of rest 7.

Include vitamin C in your daily diet (8 oz of Orange Juice) 8. If you smoke, try to stop or at least decrease I keep a can of LYSOL on hand and I spray the faucets, doorknobs, refrigerator handles, remote control, keyboard and mouse and phones on a fairly regular basis. Even if you live alone these surfaces can still become contaminated.

When I go out in public if I hear people begin coughing I usually avoid them like the plague.

The thing about anti-biotics is that they are very harsh on the body. In an attempt to cure you, they kill everything good and bad. That said, you can't blame a doctor trained in the AMA to do anything different besides prescribe the known treatment for your illnesses once you have them.

If this is a re-occurring pattern I suggest you look into preventative care and try to ascertain the root cause. Do you have a job where you are around a lot of sick people? Do you eat a healthy diet?

Do you practice yoga or meditation? Are you overweight or do you smoke? There are countless factors that you can look into, I suggest if you really want to stay healthy, make all the changes at once.

About three years ago when my husband left me I quite smoking, started exercising, lowered my stress, changed my job, took up a hobby, started a meditation practice, changed my religion, and changed my diet. People ask me how I lost weight. Honestly it was all of these things or any of them, I couldn't say.

I sleep better and rarely get ill.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
