I have become more of a germaphobe at my work..I think since the swine flu became a real worry. When I interned in the hospital, I was the same way. It's funny cause we don't even touch the patients like the nurses, but still, being in that environment all day doesn't help. I am pretty good with sleep. My problem is that I end up sleeping in more on the weekends and get off track for the week. They say its best to wake up around the same time everyday. I have to work on it. Thanks! Great post!

I work in the dental field and I am always sanitizing and wash hands. I have to say I need to get more SLEEP. I probably get about 5-5 1/2 hrs most of the time. I like the elliptical machine as my exercise I feel great after!! Great info!!!!! I work in the dental field and I am always sanitizing and wash hands. I have to say I need to get more SLEEP.

I gotta say, I am anything BUT a germaphobe, and I never really get sick, ever! The last time I was sick was a few weeks ago, and it was just that I lost my voice. It was the first time in over a year. I had two roommates in college who were both germaphobes, and were sick all the time. I really think if you are too careful about germs, you can become resistant to all of the products you use. And by exposing yourself to more germs, your body learns how to defend them. As for the nutrition, exercise, and sleep, it's crazy how they all come together to really have a huge impact on immunity. I think sleep is especially important. I try to get 7.5 to 8 hours, and when I don't, I'll be sure to take a nap or at least go to bed extra early the next day. Favorite type of exercise? elliptical! I love it. FANTASTIC post!
