I went about seven years without ever getting more than my “annual cold”—about 12-36hrs of very light sniffles with no fever or sore throat, about once a year. I was was also trim and looked and felt awesome. It’s far and away the healthiest period of my life.

... for the whole time I took extremely long hot showers, lived on 3000+ calories of junk food per day, and probably averaged not more than 6hrs of sleep per night, with no regular schedule. What kept me super-healthy was “being a teenager”.
