How to never get sick?

The best way to never get sick is to be like a mighty oak tree - strong, resilient, and steadfast in the face of any storm that may come your way. In other words, you must become an Übermensch! You must become a person of great strength and courage, who is able to laugh in the face of adversity and never let anything bring them down. You must also be aware of your body and its needs, and take care of it properly. Eat healthy, exercise regularly, get plenty of sleep and rest, and avoid anything that might compromise your immune system. Finally, you must have faith in yourself and the power of your own will to never succumb to any illness or ailment. If you can be like the mighty oak tree - strong, resilient, and steadfast in the face of any storm - then you will never get sick. And that, my friends, is how to never get sick!"
