"Cold weather is creeping in on us and with that, unfortunately, comes the cold and flu season. Besides being a sanitizing warrior, there are other things you can do to stay healthy this winter. Staying active, getting a proper amount of rest, and eating balanced meals are just a few ways to stay in great health. Adding more antioxidants and vitamin C to your diet this winter is also a smart choice."
I can usually tell when I'm about to get sick because my throat starts to feel scratchy and dry. Never fails. I was drinking liquids all day to soothe my itchy throat. I hate getting sick. I usually do once or twice a year and with the weird weather we've been having lately, I'm not surprised. To kick this viral infection outta my system asap I've been taking generic cold relief tablets/lozenges and different home remedy cures all day and night. I am a firm believer in the honey/lemon/ginger tea route AND good ol' Vitamin C. Anything else is usually just extra work and often times not needed, but...
I.REFUSE.TO.GET.SICK. So here we go...
Day 1
First thing I popped into my mouth this morning the minute I sat down at my desk. Dissolved quickly but tasted pretty gross.
Drank two cups of hot coffee immediately afterwards which does absolutely nothing for a cold, but dammit it tastes good. I can tackle anything with a good mug of joe first thing in the morning. God bless coffee. :)
Throughout the day I munched on some crystallized ginger candies from Whole Foods. Unfortunately, I only packed a few in a little baggie. Definitely have to get more of this delicious and beneficial confection.
Vitamin C regimen...fool-proof.
Finally, to end my night...a soothing cup of hot tea...my favorite...
Wish me luck these next several days. Here's to kicking this annoying cold from the get-go before it decides to run its full course!
