"Do you know someone who never gets sick? You know, never a sniffle, a cold or scratchy throat--the person who hasn&amp;#x27;t taken a sick day the entire 15 years she&amp;#x27;s worked for her company. Amazing, right? These people do exist, and a brand new book out promises to tell us their secrets. I got an early look and wanted to share some with you... The Secrets of People Who Never Get Sick, by Gene Stone, is a fascinating book that takes a well-researched look at some of the most surprising things we can all do to ward of illness and infection. If you&amp;#x27;re looking for some tried-and-true ways to keep your immunity up this season, Stone offers the following: *Take a cold shower. Sounds crazy, right? But he says research shows cooler showers can help increase your white blood cell count (which can help ward zap illness in your bod). *Munch raw garlic. I know, I know--not exactly great for the breath, but research shows that garlic has powerful antimicrobial agents that can help keep you healthy. Tip: For better breath, crush the garlic first, and swallow it whole with a teaspoon of applesauce. *Your new fave cocktail: hot water with brewer&amp;#x27;s yeast. I know, gross. But apparently this combo has been shown to zap flu bugs, diarrhea, and respiratory infections. Who knew? *Make your drinks hot: Hot water with lemon (my new fave), tea, coffee--whatever--drink more hot liquids during cold and flu season--it can give your immune system a boost. Do you already do any of these?
