What is Man Flu? – Is it real, what are the symptoms? The poor male of the species starts to get a little bit of flak for their throat tickles and sniffles at this time of the year. Yes, it's the season where the dreaded ‘man flu’ rears its ugly head. We see the stereotypical view that poorly men all over the UK, and elsewhere, are teased for staying up in bed, while poorly women carry on with their day-to-day lives. But, is the male species justified in taking time out to help their bodies recover from winter bugs – is ‘man flu’ actually real? Is man flu real? The answer is, surprisingly, yes! Scientists have discovered that men have weaker immune systems than women. This leaves them more susceptible to harsher bouts of flu and viruses! The winter season brings the usual coughs, colds and for some, the more serious flu. Many of us will battle through and sit, sniffling at our desks, while others will admit defeat and retire to bed to try and nurse themselves through the worst of their illness. Some of us are considered more infamous for taking to their beds than others, namely men, suffering from ‘man flu’. Man flu is the illness that apparently turns tickly coughs into chronic chest infections and minor headaches into full-blown migraines. For all the teasing though, it looks like the men of Britain, and elsewhere, may have something to moan about after all – man flu is real! From my own viewpoint, I have been suffering from constant Banging headaches, tiredness, aches and pains and snotty nose over these past few days! Here’s the science bit! Man flu scientific study A study, conducted by scientists at America’s Harvard University, revealed a surprising revelation about the role of oestrogen in immune protection, this hormone actually helps to strengthen our immune systems. Men, of course, don’t possess the level of oestrogen that women do, which is where they fall down when it comes to their ability to fight cold and flu viruses. The lack of oestrogen actually makes men’s immune systems weaker, which in turn means they not only contract viruses more easily than the fairer sex but feel the effects more seriously!

There I was, up a little dirt road, teetering on the edge of a 300 foot drop in Swaziland, on the brink of death, the hire car just one foot from the precipice, and all I could think of was how to get the hire car back in one piece, as they would be really upset!! It’s amazingly banal sometimes what you think of when you are put on the spot! It wasn’t my life I was concerned about, just some piece of machinery. Life can change in an instant and things can take a totally different path to what you had planned or wished for! Luckily I survived, but my thoughts and wishes for my life then became more important and I swore to do something with it that would make me proud! You see the Circle of Life has many ups and downs. It’s how we react and what we do with this topsy-turvy world that marks us out as change makers! I am reminded of these words that have forever stuck in my mind, about life’s ups and downs. From the lyrics of “Windmills of your mind” “Round like a circle in a spiral, like a wheel within a wheel Never ending or beginning on an ever spinning reel Like a snowball down a mountain, or a carnival balloon Like a carousel that’s turning running rings around the moon Like a clock whose hands are sweeping past the minutes of its face And the world is like an apple whirling silently in space Like the circles that you find in the windmills of your mind …” — [Noel Harrison] So take the Windmills Of Your Mind and make them your own, and strive to do the things you set out to do when you had your vision of your future!!

I have been out in the wilderness for several weeks or so! First my mother dying on Boxing Day and making me think of where I am in my career and life. Now my brother is suffering some serious Kidney problems and that’s another strain on where I feel I am at this moment! However, I am slowly getting back to where I feel the best and happiest and that is Hypnotherapy! So getting back to basics and enjoying what makes me tick and makes me love helping others Supercharge Their Confidence is where I belong! I shall be posting more of the work that I do, and include some Hypnotherapy sessions that I do with permissions of course, and lots of uplifting and thought provoking stuff! So I am back and onwards and upwards!!
