Healthy but still get sick??
« on: September 02, 2006, 10:29:30 AM »
How's it possible for me to get sick EVERY YEAR for the past 2yrs when i'm very healthy? I eat good clean food, good carbs, good fats, good protein, etc.

(current bulk diet)
Protein - turkey, beef, steak (sometimes), chicken, salami, tuna, protein shakes (100% whey amino - once a day, sometimes twice a day)

Fats - i get it from my food when i eat in large portions

Carbs - potatoes, brown rice, white rice (sometimes), 100% whole wheat bread, pasta

Greens - I eat it sometimes once a day or have a fruit (yes i know i need more)

Supps - BCAA (taking during workout), Ultra Fuel, multi-min vitamin, glucosamine, chondroitin & MSM and that's really it? I mean i havent used any other supps for the past 3-4 months.

Now mind you i eat the healthiest outta everybody in my family and i'm always the 1st person to get sick first? I was at my Dr. 2-3 weeks ago. I had my bloodtest taken and urine sample taken. Everything looks good according to my Dr., everything looks clean. I work in a public sneaker store i deal with 100ppl a day, i wash my hands couple of times a day. I mean....really the question is as healthy and reguarly that i exercise i still get sick that quick?  ??? I understand people come in with their germs but again as "heatlhy" as i am should i tend to get sick this quick? I'm pretty sure when my family leave the house, run into people with germs they dont tend get sick?

I know something is wrong here, there's just something wrong with the picture. I dunno if any of you guys went through the samething or been in the same situation? I'm setting up a Dr.'s appoint because i just feel its ridiculous that i keep getting sick for the past 2 yrs now everytime we go into the cold season. It's really frustrating and embarassing and really not helping out as far as "oh i eat so healthy, i exercise regularly" and still tend to get sick that easy as soon as i bump into somebody with germs? I mean really what's the deal

I'd appreciate any advice from you guys or anything that i should keep in mind to ask my Dr., or any specific tests i should bring up to his attention. I'm sitting here and i've been sick for the past 3-4 days and again its not even WINTER jesus christ 

Thanks

There's potentially one of your answers.
Secondly, FREQUENT hand washing especially in your line of work.  Wash your hands immediatly when you get home so you don't contaminate everything you touch in the house.
Also, you might want to try an immune system booster during the cold season.  Wellness Formula is my favorite (alittle expensive).  Use it correctly, and don't when you don't need it.   Airborne seems to work well too, but you have to use it the instant you feel something coming on or it doesn't really do it's job.

Thanks for the valuable feedback, but do you think there might be something wrong with my body medically?
