In 2008 I was consuming as much entrepenuriship content I could (while building my first company). For obvious reasons I ended up watching a Tony's presentation. He was sharing a lot of stories about Zappos and in the end he talked about their Culture Book (a book entirely written by Zappos employees, with no editing).

Immediately after watch it I sent an email directly for him (at the time a CEO of a company that would be sold to Amazon for 1.2B 8 months after) asking if I could have a digital version of the book since I was living in Brazil. For my complete surprise I received a response in less than 1 hour just asking for my address. One day after I received a physical copy of the book, signed by the very own Tony Hsieh. He even invited me to visit Zappos offices if I ever were in Las Vegas!

Today I woke up with this sad news. Definitely, a huge loss to the world. I'm sure you'll always be an inspiration to many.

Rest in peace Tony Hsieh, A big fan

Okay about the mortality rate. What about the hospitalization rate? Is it low enough to do not break the health system ? And about the smokers? diabetics ? Cancer patients ? And about the old one already hospitalized ? The kids ? And about the 0.3% that will dye ? How many young people will die in a old population ? And about the doctors and nurses extra exposed to the virus from different people?

Maybe not the answer you are expecting, but the true way is to expose yourself to diseases.

D vitamin may help: you best get it by exposing your naked skin to sunlight.

Yeah . Nice add. I believe I already was exposed to differents diseases. I grew up in a third world country. Also, I did a exchange program in a multicultural US University where I had contact with different people from around the world.

I will try to expose more to sunlight , arms and legs. I spend all my day indoor.

My wife has an auto immune disease and we have both switched (through progressive stages) to the Wahl's Protocol. I've never felt healthier and her symptoms are improving--she's also on disease modifying treatment, so we're doing this in addition to medication, not instead of it.

The Wahl's Protocol is designed for cell and brain health, so it may be exactly what you're looking for.

See Dr. Terry Wahl's Ted Talk here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KLjgBLwH3Wc

It's encouraging that you've had good result from staying hydrated. I think it makes sense.

I've learned the hard way the importance of mental health as someone who had unfortunate pleasure of getting shingles in late 30s.

The first thing my doc asked me when I suspected shingles; "are you under a lot of stress?"

I nearly broke down and cried. I realized killed myself over work for nothing. For what? Never again. My outlook changed since then.

fefb · 6 years ago
Absolutely. Mental health has a big influence in our body and immune system. I work a lot in this moment of my life, but my exercises, books and relaxing times are mandatory in my week.

And some days of the week I avoid to be with a lot of people for a long time. I don't know, but for me after a meeting or group work I fell drained.

Eat lots of fruits and veggies. try to make 50% of your diet fruits and veggies. the other 50% should be Whole grain, beans, nuts/seeds.

if fruits and veggies don't sound appealing, it's usually because someone's taste buds have been blasted to death with artificial ingredients. but, if you get off all that stuff for a few months, your normal taste buds should re-emerge.

Fasting has been shown to have countless numerous benefits that is extremely powerful for many purposes.

Be Careful with Supplements. in the US they are COMPLETELY unregulated. They could put whatever they wanted in there, even if it contradicts what's on the label. You don't need supplements in the first place. Just eat food. Nature's food already has everything the body could ever want. humans spent millions of years adapting to Nature's food, there's nothing better out there than that.

Thanks. I believe I can improve my diet with more veggies, fruits and grains. My diet has a lot of animal protein .

Yeah supplement market in US is crazy. I am another country where I buy from a great source when I need to complete my diet.

> [...] that drinking a lot of water make the difference for my general health [...]

Anything that you eat or drink will affect your "general health"; from your gut bacteria to the pores on your skin. Water and caffeine-free herbal loose-leaf green are both very healthy in this regard.

Others have mentioned diet, sleeping, stress management, eating lots of fruits/veggies.

I'll add: Get regular, consistent, intensive exercise. Preferably something that targets your larger muscles (your legs/glutes) and your core. Doesn't matter what it is. Some people swear by Rippetoe's Starting Strength, but you choose what you like.

"Immune system" is a holistic term. Making sure your heart is healthy and strong, your bones are healthy, your gut is healthy, and so on, all contributes to your immune system.

Supplements are supplements. They're nice to have but they can't replace a diet that you can depend on every day. And they can't replace breaking a sweat during exercise either.

Nice thanks. Yeah exercise is great. I started work out when I was a teenager, 12 year ago. Lifting weights is a pleasure for me, I have a strong body. However, it is so normal in my life that I do not have a "basis/notion" to compare . About coffee free teas, I believe I can help my body decreasing my caffeine daily dose. It will help my sleep. Thanks again
