I've got a free blockbuster rental burning a hole in my pocket, as it were. anyone up to recommending some worthwhile titles?

Catherine recently posted, in a thread about immune system health, some thoughts that are worth preservation and publication here:

I think there are certain universal truisms when it comes to immune system health. And believe me, it is the silent superhero in our existence. Amazing what it does and what happens when it fails to operate according to its prime directive.

Truth one - do something that causes you pleasure each and every day. (it can be selfish or selfless - so long as it makes you feel actual physical pleasure)

Truth two - listen to your body - it will tell you when it needs iron or starch or sugar or salt. You will crave foods. Eat those things you crave. In moderation. Also listen to your brain and if your craving is marshmallow and chocolate on a constant basis consider looking into that. You don't need to know which things have which particular nutrients - your body speaks their language, it knows what it wants. Just listen.

Truth three - human bodies need rest. Listen to yours and rest when it asks you to.

Truth four - exercise it - the body likes to work.

Truth five - deal with your shit. Your immune system hates dangling swords and shadows. Sucks like hell while you do it and then you can move along.

Truth six - laugh.
