  • Guys it's not that hard to prepare for the winter season, but you know what it is hard

  • to prepare for? Man flu season.

  • Viewers outside of the United States might be more familiar with this British slang term

  • 'man flu' but no matter where you live you might be familiar with this anecdotal observation

  • that when men get sick with the flu or simply a cold, they tend to get sicker for longer--I

  • don't feel so good--Some women might also report that their husbands or boyfriends also

  • seem to be a bit whinier about their sickness. Symptoms of man flu tend to involve excessive

  • grumbling, moaning and requests for soups. But there is a new study out of the Stanford

  • University School of Medicine suggesting that in fact men might be biologically inclined

  • to yes, come down with man flu. Why did I do to deserve that? What these Stanford researchers

  • specifically looked at was how men and women responded to an influenza vaccine and they

  • found that it was most effective in women and men with lower levels of testosterone.

  • I want pizza rolls. That hormone which has naturally elevated levels in the male body

  • versus the female body has anti-inflammatory effects. Oh anti-inflammatory that sounds

  • like a good thing. Actually if you have some kind of infection or a virus or some kind

  • of bacteria that's attacking the inside of your body making you feel really bad, that

  • is stopping that inflammatory immune response that will then attack that bacteria or whatever

  • is infecting your body. I think I'm dying. It appears that estrogen might be doing us

  • ladies a big old solid because it seems to benefit that inflammatory process. Evolutionarily

  • speaking, mothers needed to be strong and healthy to take care of all those babies.

  • Hah. So if you're a lady that might be frustrated that a guy in her life is coming down with

  • a bout of man flu--I can feel all of my bones--remember that the female body might be able to weather

  • sickness a little bit better than the male body. But guys are also less likely to go

  • to the doctor compared to women, which means that by the time they're actually in bed and

  • sick they might be really, really, really sick. You ever have Nyquil dreams? They're

  • so messed up. So is man flu real? Well so far the research is on your side guys. Or

  • on man flu's side. I don't know whose side man flu would actually be. But what do you

  • think about man flu? Have you observed that women tend to get well faster, have you observed

  • that men might be a little more dramatic in their sickness? Vice versa, are women simply

  • making all of this up and we are actually the cry babies when it comes to sickness?

  • Let me know in the comments below and hey if you're watching this and you're under the

  • weather, you might have the flu because it is peak flu season, I hope you get to feeling

  • better. Stay hydrated. And watch lots of my videos. That's doctor's orders.

Guys it's not that hard to prepare for the winter season, but you know what it is hard
