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!

Be honest… Is your fear currently stronger than your desire? If so, that’s okay. Awareness is step one. In order to succeed, your desire must become stronger than your fear of failure. Comment: FEAR or DESIRE 👇

When I first went self employed about 36 years ago, I seriously lacked self confidence. I had been made redundant and hadn't got a clue how to be self employed or how much to charge etc. As a result I undercharged but still felt as if I was charging too much. So when customers asked how much they owed me I would say things like "I'm afraid that's £200" which left the door wide open for them to ask me for a discount. I eventually learned that by saying very confidently "It's £200" it left no option for the customer to ask for a discount, they just paid. That boosted my confidence no end.

I have found that my self confidence has built by mixing with the right people. If you want to be successful at anything, mix with people who are already successful a what you want to do.
