Ok, I don't know about any of you guys, but I was so excited when it rained this weekend! It hasn't rained in how long?! It doesn't matter...its been TOO long! The roads are clean, the air is clear, and the sky is so blue. It feels so good! The only bad thing about it is that I think I may be getting a bit of a cold. =( My throat hurts and my nose is a bit stuffy. I've also been getting lots of headaches. So there's been good and bad to the rain I guess. If any of you guys are feeling the same way, there's a few things you can do to help fight this bug off before it effects you too much.
1. Make sure you get plenty of rest. The more tired you are, the weaker your body is. It can't fight off sickness and infection if it's not strong enough to.
2. Make sure your Vitamin C intake is plentyful. Eat lots of citrus fruits and drink at least one glass of orange juice a day. Now, if you're like me, you take lots of vitamins. If that's the case, take extra Vitamin C and lots of Echinacea.
3. Eat right. Make sure you give your body as many power foods as you can. Give your body what it needs to help you fight.
4. Dress warmly. I know as a girl we like to wear our new cute outfit that we just bought at the mall this weekend. Even if it's not really as warm as it should be for the weather outside. Make sure that you wear lots of layers. If your throat hurts, keep a scarf wrapped around your neck to keep it warm. Wearing hats and super warm socks with boots is good too. This is because most of your body heat escapes through your head and toes, so keep those nice and cozy. =) It's even cold enough to need a coat at night, so be sure to have that handy.
This may seem cheesy and I know most of you have been told a million times what to do to fight a cold; but hey, I'm just here to help!
Hope everyone is doing well out there! Be sure to keep me posted and feel free to send me a message anytime for any reason at all. Have an awesome week! <3
