hi guys..
honestly how often or seldom do you get sick??
now a days people are very busy in striving hard to have money in order for their family to survive..
stress and luck of healthy way of living are the main things that people encoutered
in their work..
people are more focused to work and have no time for themselves already..
we must always need to be aware of our health..
money is useless if we often get sick...
medicines now a days are very expensive..prevention is better than cure..
honestly do you still have time to rest ??how many hours do you sleep in one day?
are you very pressured at your work??
how do you relax yourself???
and how often do you go to the doctor???for check ups...
do you cure yourself rather than going to the doctor??
going to the hospital just cost us another expense!..hmmmmmmmm...
what do you think??
hope you keep posting!
cheers!

Thanks to the Almighty God that I seldom get sick.
I try my best to follow the proper meals and eat more
veggies than meat. If I can suffer a slight pain I
emmediately find wayus and means to cure it. I will
use a herbal medicines than branded ones. I want to save
for all of the basic needs in our daily living is so
high and expensive. Trying to save to face the challenges
in our life.

Sick?? Depending on how serious it is.. hehe ^_^ I guess it's been years since i last saw a doctor with medical prescription.. haha =D But i do get some occasional colds and small coughs though.. haha =D So is that considered being sick?? hehe
Getting sick can be from many reasons, and does not necessarily means stress ^_^ Even the most healthy human being can be sick as well.. It all depends on our health and immune system to the air around us ^_^
Relaxation is important too, as it helps us in soothing out the pressure etc ^_^ And i dun like doctors too.. haha =D My way of self curing flu, is thru running.. lol =D Though not recommended, as one can die from it, but it works for me as always.. haha =D

It's ture that nowadays people just dare not to be sick. We have to pay a lot of things , the department loan, raising kids, monthly food . We don't have time to have a rest otherwise we will lose our job . At the same time we don't have enough or extra money for our sickness . It turns out to be bad cercle. We are working hard with less rest we might be easy to get sickness but we just cann't afford to cure sickness. What a sad situation !

Hi acie, what you say is very true. People are so busy with their daily routine that many a times one neglects one's health.In my case since I have now given up working full time, i find that I am not stressed, so take care. I am lucky to have had no major complaints except headaches siunce 2 years or so. I dont fall sick often and seldom go to a doctor. I have not visited a doctor for a long time now. But I need to go to a dentist pretty soon since my wisdom tooth is giving me some discomfort - all the best acie and have a great weekend

because of youngth.i would seldom get sick.it is fortunate thing for me.although i seldom get sick.but small problem often trouble me.for example head-ache.i often trouble by it.i have check up but have no problem.i dont know what it happen around me.maybe i should think about keeping my health.because of work and presure and lazyness.i dont be willing to do exercise.so this small problem often trouble me.as what you said.i should notice health and do exercise and relax myself in my life and do more meaningful thing to avoid this small illness trouble.

Hi Acie,
As far as i remember, last year i only got sick twice. It was summer of 2009 after we had our company's outing and after a series of out-of town trainings. i seldom get sick. if i apply for sick leave in the office more often it's due to my migraine. yes, i always suffer from terrible migraine.

Well, lately I rarely get sick, but I caught a slight cold short ago. It's winter and I'm not invincible, so I guess it's normal 
But yeah, it's true that doctors and medicines are expensive. I try to sleep 8 hours a day but it's not easy, as I'm busy. Fortunately no pressure at work, and my method of relax is to sleep

to be frank ,i am the one who seldom get sick.but i get a headache now .
and indeed , i don't know if that could be sick -- put on the weight quickly.
when i started working my weight put on quicly ,maybe because i often focuse on work these days ,and i even have a break,just sit front of cumputer .
yes,i think it is the time for me to reduce the weight,lol.

i dont get sick too often, i get sick rarely but maybe a few times during the year, i get headaches sometimes for concentrating too hard, if something was bothering me or if i was angry my whole body would heat up.
I try to relax myself by punching something or sometimes i just sit down and just let off steam.

I seldom get sick in recent years but when I do, it takes awhile for me to recover. Like the cough I have been having since Christmas, it took a whole month for me to recover. I think I take okay care of my body. I agree with you that there is so much going on in life that it is hard to just slow down and just relax.

I used to never get sick. A flu was a rare thing for me, only getting one every two years or so.
Then I got struck with glandular fever and was prone to catching anything, I caught a cold every second week for a few months.
When the glandular fever went away my immune system was very weak so I now have to go to the doctor every three months to keep it under check. However they said I should be over it soon so fingers crossed.
When you are healthy you never realise how important good health is, it's only when it;s taken away that you know.

I get sick occasionally due to the fact that I eat properly and do regular exercise. I sleep about 7 to 8 hrs. in a day. for minor problems i prefer home remedies.

me too acie_21..im lucky i have a very strong immune system. i dont get easily sick..mild fever every 2-3 years. not mentioning, i havent gone to the hospital for a long time for a health related problem. i think its way back 13 years ago. i seldom get flu's and colds, once a year. but one thing thats bothering me is my sinus and stress problems. but i can handle those things. i think its because im physically fit, try to eat healthy foods, fruits and vege's. if i eat something thats not so healthy, i followed it up after with fruits and teas, and the next day, i eat healthy foods to cover up those i ate the other day. so you should try to take out those toxins and the lipids in your body, exercise, jog, take vitamins and eat a lot of fruit and vege's.. ;)

Argggg :(( well..lately in the past few months I'm getting sick too frequent. A couple of years ago I was health wise the strong one in my family. My husband would get sick all the time and I wouldn't get whatever he had or fight it off quick. I don't know if it is stress(trials and tribulation I'm going through hehehe)or maybe is that my kids are in school now and they are bringing all the germs and passing it on to me. They are very close and affectionate with me so their germs are my germs :(
