28 M. For as long as I can remember, I've always been someone that is constantly getting sick. All the way through school, it was terrible. Then in university, when I wasn't taking care of myself - no sleep, partying, bad diet - I was basically just in a constant state of sick, or recovering from being sick during cold season. Once I started sleeping right, and eating foods with more micronutrients, things weren't as severe, but I still seemed to get sick all the time. Even if I ate tons of fruit and vegetables, took vitamin d3, zinc, querctain, vtiamin c, and slept perfectly, as soon a September/October rolled around, I would start getting colds.

WELL, I took to this subreddit and found a 'hack' that has helped me fight off my first cold! The hack was nothing more than gargling with salt water and running a neti pot through my nose 3-4 times a day at the first onset of sickness. Last Tuesday I started getting a sore throat, and after doing this for just 2 days, it went away. Normally, this would turn into a sinus infection, and I'd be out for like a week! This is absolutely amazing! Obviously things like diet and sleep play a big factor in your bodies ability to fight an infection, but this is just absolutely insane to me. I don't understand how something so simple could do so much. Is it really that these two things help neutralize the virus so that your body doesn't have as much to fight? Absolutely insane. I am so grateful to have found this place!
