How NOT To Catch A Cold With ’Hamilton’ Star Darnell Abraham


Listen Later

Sick of being sick? A "Hamilton" musical star won't miss his shot when it comes to boosting immunity.

Darnell Abraham is starring in the international touring show as George Washington.

Abraham may play a founding father but he also doubles as a wellness guru when it comes to health. He's sharing the health hacks that keep him on stage night after night.

It starts with the basics.

Eat well, exercise and get sleep.

But there are immunity boosters he swears by including a near-daily drink he doesn't really like but feels has made him healthier.

"Immune health begins in the gut and kombucha, it's packed with probiotics, prebiotics depending on what type of kombucha that you get, and I have actually found it to be really helpful. I drink it like every other day," Abraham said.

He even has a photo tip to minimize exposure to germs without missing those Instagram moments.
