Countryside Health Facts

Tony just came back from spending 2 weeks out in the countryside with some Mongolians from Eagle TV.  So while he was gone he learned a few interesting health facts that you might have never heard before.
   Wearing clothes to bed makes you colder, if you wear pajamas, you get goose bumps!  The guys kept asking Tony if he was alright because he was wearing pajama pants to bed.  (Yep, there are lots of funny things jumping around in my mind here, but I am just going to leave them alone)
   SO on the same vein, they also believe that wearing gloves makes your hands colder and hats, of course, make your head colder.  In defense of my own hat and glove wearing defense, I can't tell you how many Mongolian men I have seen with their ears completely or partially gone from frostbite.  I will just risk cold fingers and ears and keep wearing my gloves and hat.
   Anyway, another man told Tony he thought he knew why foreigners had more chest hair than Mongolians was because Foreigners shower more often, and the hair gets watered more!  Never mind the fact that I also shower every day......
   Speaking of bathing, Did you know that bathing too often gives you a cough.  It is preferable to bathe no more than once or twice a week.
   And NEVER drink cold drinks...  Drinking a drink containing ice is a sure fire way to have a sore throat. 
   Enough for now, don't want you to get too bogged down with all this health information, I will have to do this again to tell all the healthy benefits of camel urine and bear claws......bet you can't wait.

Do you feel like you're swimming upstream?! It's all funny, but then sad combined with the superstitutions and all. Stay strong. Your family is doing a wondrous thing!

The chest hair fact made me laugh! I will have to be sure and share these health facts with Kevin. He will get a kick out of them.
