    Having Sex Helps Up Your Immune System
    Before you feel that telltale tickle in the back of your throat or experience that first sneeze, try some of these weird ways to keep your immune system strong so you can avoid getting sick in the first place:

    1. KISS (AND WHILE YOU'RE AT IT, HAVE SEX)!
    Yes, kissing can help you fight off colds and flu. By exchanging bacteria back and forth, you are actually enhancing your body's natural defenses and boosting your immune system.

    2. LISTEN TO MUSIC
    Research has shown that those same sex-boosted IgA proteins also rise when listening to music like jazz, bluegrass or soft rock for 30 minutes.

    3. WALK REALLY FAST, BUT DON'T RUN!
    Research has revealed that a brisk walk- 45 minute walk, four or more days a week can improve your immune system and minimize sick days.

    4A. GET HOT
    Studies show that, similar to drinking lots of water when you're sick, sitting in a hot sauna can detox a cold right out of your system.
    4B. GET COLD
    According to Dr. Kneipp, known to have discovered the curative powers of water when trying to overcome his tuberculosis, daily 30 second slow and controlled walks through 6 degree Celsius water can improve circulation, digestion, breathing, immune function, and minimized arthritis and insomnia. First submerge the right foot into the water (since it's further from the heart), and walk like a stork- pulling each foot completely out of the water between steps (in order to create a mild hot cold to warm effect).
