Here's my greatest tip - quit travelling.

Seriously.

I worked out everyday in my previous life as a road warrior. Since I started travelling I am not in bad shape, but not in the best shape of my life either.

That worked for me, also! Cutting out the business travel, anyway.

Expense accounts are bad for your body. And really bad for your liver.

Since I quit with the business travel, I've lost quite a bit of weight and am in great shape. I drink 90% less top-shelf liquor and eat about 95% fewer lobsters per year, but I'm happier and healthier overall.

I also have fewer minor illnesses - I think more due to being in better shape and spending less time either tired or worn down from the "business travel lifestyle" (e.g., hung over) than from anything related to airplane germs.
