They survive the cold season without a sniffle. They fly in germ-packed airplanes unscathed. And they somehow avoid stomach bugs that decimate the office. Wish you could be one of these women who never get sick? Try one or – even better – all of these seven secrets…
1 GET A MASSAGE Most studies show that massage can reduce anxiety, blood pressure, and heart rate – and lowering these is likely to cause your stress level to drop, one key to building immunity.
Make massage work for you: Any type of rubdown is fine, as long as you ask for moderate pressure. The therapist’s touch should be vigorous enough to move or indent skin but not so hard that it causes pain. How often do you need one? There’s no science on that, but experts say once a month (or more) is worthwhile.
You can take matters into your own hands, too, by showering with a stiff, natural-bristle brush; like moderate-pressure massage, this stimulates pressure receptors under the skin.
2 TAKE A COLD SHOWER Devotees claim cold showers help with low energy, migraines, blood circulation, and pain reduction, in addition to enabling women to age gracefully.
Make cold showers work for you: Try small doses. Consult your doctor if you have cardiovascular problems, because the sudden chill can cause a spike in blood pressure.
