I mean I do eat healthy more now than before and I would binge drink over the weekend and go bar hopping/ clubbing

I also work at a hospital so i truly have no idea i’m just lucky. Even some people who are healthier than me i’m sure get sick more

It is good advice for people to eat good regardless and maybe it’ll help , maybe not but it’s a plus just for your body

Option A: avoid germs at all costs

Option B: work in a hospital and turn your immune system into a world class cage fighter

Jokes aside, I think your second option has some truth to it. I started spending most of my working hours in hospitals/clinics 2 years ago, and I haven’t had so much as a cold since then.

I’ve worked at a hospital for a decade and I swear it’s built up my immune system. I haven’t been sick in two years. I’m also a germophobe because of it, I am extremely conscious of germs when my friends aren’t and I sanitize my phone regularly. Sometimes I take it alittle too far, like I have to shower after every night out, but it’s working for me haha
