The other night, I had a fever. You know, the kind of fever that makes every moment last forever, that pains your whole body just enough to deprive you from all forms of sleep and makes you sweat like a long distance runner? Well, I had that. Yet, it was pretty much all gone 24 hours later. The fever, the runny nose, the sore throat, all gone.
It made me think that that fast immune response had to do something with the healthy habits I accumulated over the years. So here is a very incomplete list of some of the things that have helped me to stay in top shape for the past 2 years. Of course, feel free to add to it and make it better!
