As we grow up do we feel sick less often because of our improved immunities, or is it that we become more out of touch with our bodies? (lemm.ee)

When I was a young boy I would get sick pretty regularly (headaches, fever, nausea, the works). Now that I’m a grown man I rarely experience such extremes. Instead I find myself in more of a long term state of vague apathy and shittiness.

That makes me wonder if my immune system truly has improved, or if I simply lost touch with my feelings.

I don't get sick as often, but my head hurts and I feel like trash much more often.

Drinking enough water?

Almost never.

I have a solution for you

You're probably going to recommend I get enough sleep and cut down on stress too, huh?
