Act quick when becoming sick!
After a month in to school it's the time of year when we students start to become sick. We have to make sure we are taking care of our body's immune system. I recently just came down with a sore throat, lost my voice and have a temperature. Thank goodness I live with 30 girls who are here to take care of me. One thing I found to help a sore throat is to drink warm tea. If you are coming down with a fever (which I also found out I have) take some cool rags and lay them on your forehead. Works every time! The best thing you can do if you are feeling under the weather is to just simply sleep. College kids aren't getting enough sleep as it is, but catching up on sleep makes the body recharge and back to conquering the day. Always be drinking fluids they help tremendously! I hope none of you have become sick as I have, but if you do, take these tips and get your body back to normal!

Rest is definitely important. It's basically the root cause of all health.
ReplyDeleteI'm kind of surprised you didn't mention vitamins D and C, however.
Also, I'd be kind of curious to know your opinion on zinc.

I agree with all of these tips! Whenever I feel like I'm getting sick, I load up on fluids and try to get tons of sleep. Have you ever heard of Elderberry juice? I've been taking it for 3 years, and haven't had a bad cold or the flu since. Sometimes I get a runny nose or occasional sore throat, but it never gets very bad. I am a generally healthy person, but I think elderberry has helped a lot.
