    Seven Habits of Women Who Don't Get Sick

    Nothing is worse than getting a cold or the flu. Sometimes it seems unavoidable, but CNN recently reported on seven habits of women who rarely get sick. I've highlighted some key points in this slideshow, so see for yourself what you may want to do, or pat yourself on the back for those things that you already do.

    i like emergen c and i wash my hands alot..and use antibactirial wipes for wiping down stuff when my kids get sick....i rarely get sick...but i do get allergies...but i can't think of the last time i've had a fever..or the flu..or even a cold..and with all three of my kids in school..i think thats a pretty good track record.

    I never ever get sick either! On this list I just wash my hands always after bathroom, or salsa lessons etc (but not like OCD!) and I drink a glass of orange juice every morning. Also I eat a very well rounded diet and I exercise 6 or 7 times a week. I haven't had even a minor cold and defi not the flu in over 3 yrs. Eeek- I'm afraid I'm going to jinx myself haha!

    I wash my hands so frequently that I need to make sure I always have lotion around -- need to make sure they don't dry out!

    I saw this in the recent Health magazine, and the lady that eats garlic everyday says she puts it in applesauce and it helps it go down easier. Still... can't get myself to do it. I was my hands frequently and during the cold/flu season drink the Emergen-C... I rarely get sick.
