I'm am exceptionally healthy, can't tell you when I last had a cold. Haven't gotten influenza since about 1974, and no I don't bother with a flu shot but I an not suggesting you also skip them.

Okay, so I had a heart attack three years ago. Got a stent, was told that while the one artery had been 100% blocked, they cleared it out. No other artery had any build up of any kind.

I honestly think the main reason I am so healthy is that most of my life I've made sure I get plenty of sleep. It makes a huge difference. I know that genetics and personal health history also matter, but if you're not getting enough sleep, there are consequences.
