I work on a ship with 2500 passengers and 900 crew..people constantly coughing/sneezing germs everywhere. .the only thing that saves me is the fact that I work outside all day..breathing in that fresh ocean air and taking in that warm Hawaiian sun does wonders for general health and wellnes.

A while ago I read about some new research according to which getting sick is actually a sign of a good immune system.
Anyone know what I'm talking about? Can't find the article.

I haven't been sick in like 15 years and I don't take care of my health, eat like shit etc.

I feel bad for you all. I never get the flu. -Never had a flu shot either. It's been a long time since I've been sick. What I am most susceptible to if bronchial pneumonia. I've had it many times throughout my life. It knocks you out for quite awhile.

I generally don't worry about germs. The main preventative measure I take to not catch something is to wash my hands very often. I am convinced that too much germ aversion actually is not a good thing. It is better to let our bodies build up an immunity to germs. Too sterile an environment doesn't allow for this to happen.

I'm sick all the time... 1 kid in daycare, 1 kid in school, wife works in a hospital, and I work outside all year round. It's like the perfect storm of germs.

Do you still train? If so, how? It's been 4 weeks now and my cat can knock me over I'm so weak. Haven't felt like this in years.

If it's just coming on... Sore throat, stuffiness... Yes I still train and then see how I feel the next morning. If better, I don't miss. If it gets worse or I am full blown sick, I don't train. I can usually just miss a day or two. The days you are borderline and still train can suck sometimes, but a lot of times a good sweat actually helps.

Good luck.

You may be doing this backward. It might be more productive to take break as soon as you feel something coming on and knock it out before it takes hold. Resting gives your body the opportunity to put up a fight.

This thing helps if you keep it up and do it everyday. Use it while taking a hot shower. Also don't waste your money on the salt packets...Just use regular Kosher salt...

Well, I am not an expert (doctor) but as i mentioned earlier, I almost never get sick. If I feel something coming on, I medicate with some alcohol and rest. So far, this has worked well for me. I do have a certain level of experience since I am approaching 71 years of age this year and surprisingly have maintained a fairly high level of fitness....could just be good genetics though.

Everyone is different. Of course rest helps best... But that means longer times without workouts. So my system keeps me working out even if just slightly under the weather... Your advice is sound but his question was basically can you train if getting sick. Different interpretations.
