My biggest concern there Snags.
Maybe we won’t know or ever know.
Touch wood.. I haven’t as yet got Covid or so far the flu the past two years.
I exercise nearly 3 hours a day , have a cold shower every second day and lay in an ice bath for 1-2 minutes once a week.
The worse I have felt is a ‘sniffle’ and sometimes a touch feeling of a ‘runny nose’.
Don’t know if it’s my Immune System, what I do ( as in the above ) or pure luck!
People ask me Stackey and the simple answer I give is ‘ I don’t know but just do”!Why?!?
Everyone says I’m nuts….
An uncle told me over 50 years ago (god rest his soul), to never have the water too hot when having a shower, and to always finish the shower with cold water.
He was my hero and I've taken his advice ever since.
I don't know whether it's just blind luck, but I very rarely get a cold, and it's never a bad one. I've also never been bed ridden with a real bad flu with fevers or body aches.
I should add, I do always have a bottle of rum handy whenever I feel the slightest hint of a sniffle
I gym 4 times a week only an hour but heavy weights. I burn most of my calories watching the game once a week where my resting heart rate is around 150 for 2 hours.
Ok you are pressing me now.
Addiction to exercise.
Cold showers after I train in the evening only 3 x a week.
Ice baths. Really no idea. Think it stemmed from watching SAS Australia and thought I will try that!

There are others like you & I Tigerman.
It must help our immune system!
I'm in Abu Dhabi, this reminds me of a funny/concerning Dubai thread on Reddit where a bloke was asking if he could keep a chicken on his balcony in summer. Some weird cats out this way but no I don't have any chickens.
I always feel good after a cold shower. I must get back into that habit.
If you can do it Snags.
I know it’s hard in Winter but with anything once you do it another of times it becomes easier to handle the feeling of discomfort.
I bet you probably can thank the Umps officiating our matches for reaching your peak rates.
FYI, Balmy just on Ch.10 News said Dusty could not get up for tonight but probably could have played on the weekend.
[Sorry to bring it back to footy]
There's certainly worse things you could be addicted to! Good on you.
Cold showers swimming in cold water and ice baths are known to increase immunity.
Scandinavians of old and Vikings were said to leave babies in the cold for short periods to toughen them and strengthen them.
Oh yeah my larynx ain't a fan of the umps either.I bet you probably can thank the Umps officiating our matches for reaching your peak rates.
