My Artillery

So the nasty virus that got my son a week ago has also downed me. Ugh. I hate getting sick!!! I mean, okay, no one ever loves getting sick… but it’s so much different now with a baby and all! I feel pressured to get well because 1) I need to take care of my boy; 2) I don’t want to be contagious and be a threat to his and my hubby’s health; and 3) as my hubby said “sayo nakasalalay peace and serenity ng bahay” :P
I’m so grateful this thing just looks viral and didn’t develop into anything worse. I’m actually getting a lot better. Which means… no antibiotics needed! Yay!
So…what did I do to contain this virus? Here are my 5 not-so-secret secrets!
1. Water. Lots and lots and lots and I mean LOTS of water! I lost track of the number of liters of water I’ve drunk in the past 4 days. I must be averaging at least 3 liters a day since. I’ve never been more grateful for my super handy Kor water bottle!
my hydration buddy! love this a lot! get yours at thepurpletag.com or Conlins Elements :)
2. Vitamin C + Zinc. These 2 make for a dream team for fighting illness! I get my big doses from calamansi juice (with honey to soothe the throat), Fern-C (ascorbic acid) and Airborne. Airborne is an immune support supplement that is packed with vitamins A, C, E, zinc and herbs! I wish Airborne is readily available here. So far, only S&R carries it. It’s such a pity because it’s a really great product. It’s not foolproof, ie. you’re still gonna get sick at times, but I guarantee you’re not gonna be as susceptible to illness as before… and when you do get sick, you’re bound to get well fast! :)
- the ultimate supplement!
3. Hot shower with Ilog Maria Eucalyptus Bath Gel. The steam of the shower plus eucalyptus did wonders for my bad headache from my bad cold! I didn’t want to leave the bathroom anymore! :)
4. Mask. Viral infections like this are highly contagious. It’s important to wear a mask so it won’t spread like wildfire. I bought my packs of masks the 1st day I felt funny.
5. Last but not least… PRAYERS. The most powerful of them all. You’ll never go wrong with the Great Healer! :)
…
Stay safe and healthy, everyone! :)
