Sick again and home with the cat and some trusty daytime TV? Does it seem that you barely have enough time to catch your breath between sicknesses before you’re on to the next one with the whole new fun filled line of exasperating symptoms? Don’t feel alone, we all get sick some times and our immune systems can have quite a time trying to catch up once they’re down.
Drink More Water
From headaches, to bloating, to constipation, water can fix just about everything that could be wrong with us. We need water to survive.
We need it more than anything else so it’s very important to get enough of it and get it often. You don’t necessarily need 8 glasses of water every day to stay healthy and feeling good but you should drink as much as your body tells you that you need. Some people only need a few glasses a day, some drink over a gallon. Just make sure you are getting enough. Try drinking one glass before and after meals.
Stress and Sleep
We all have stress and we all fail at getting enough sleep from time to time. It can be very
habit forming and soon in times of extreme stress you might find yourself naturally staying up later and later just because that’s what your body is used to. It is very bad for you to cut down on sleep while feeling stressed. Stress takes a lot out of us physically and mentally. It is important to get adequate rest when facing some tough times. Try a relaxing bath or read for a while. If you are like me and that just doesn’t cut it, try drinking a glass of wine or taking some valerian root. Valerian root is much less harmful than any sleeping pill and also works very well. Make sure it doesn’t interfere with any other medications you may be on.
Vitamins
I don’t believe in taking vitamins and thinking it’s going to fix everything. It won’t. You will likely just get rid of them in urine as soon as you have to go. If you take vitamins the right way, you will be much better off and can reap some of the wonderful benefits they store. Make sure to eat several healthy meals a day. Include whole grains, fruits and plenty of dark green veggies. Kale and broccoli are excellent. Also, try to add as much garlic into your meals as possible. Garlic is wonderful for your immune system. Once you are eating right, you can add your vitamins into the meals and stand a better chance of absorbing them.
