It turns out, that’s not a rude way of dismissing someone. It’s a way to help someone boost their immunity! That’s because being out in nature exposes us to essential plant oils that have anti-microbial compounds. And when we inhale them, those chemicals keep us healthy by increasing white blood cell levels. So go take a hike. An hour on the trails once a week will do the trick.

Next time you see someone hacking up a lung, do a double-take. Why? Just looking at a sick person may boost your immune system.

Canadian scientists asked 28 study participants to view photos of people coughing and sneezing… and then they tested their blood. The result? Their white blood cells contained 24% more cytokines – the proteins that improve immune response. They believe it’s an automatic defense to help you keep from catching whatever the sick person’s got.

Get a foot rub! University of Miami researchers found a 10-minute foot massage stimulates acupressure points… Which energize the white blood cells that destroy invading viruses on contact. Don’t have someone around to massage your feet? Put a couple cans of food or tennis balls on the floor, and gently roll each foot back and forth.

Why? Because studies show that having healthy emotional habits also improves your physical health.

•Avoid the blame game. Adults who point fingers or get vindictive when they’re angry are 31% more likely to develop heart problems. According to the study at the Columbia University Medical School, adults who discuss their anger directly and try to work things out have no increase in anger-related heart disease.

•Be a “glass is half-full” person. A new study from the University of Kentucky in Lexington found that optimism helps your body fight off cold and flu viruses. The immune systems of volunteers responded more aggressively to germs injected into their skin on days when they felt more hopeful…and less so when their moods were more pessimistic.
