Get Over your Cold in 3 Days!


It is that time of year again, make it easier on you and get over your cold quick!!
I got a really bad cold on Sunday my throat hurt so bad I could not even talk. Everyone told me that they had the same thing and it took weeks to get over. Well I was 100% back to normal by Wednesday. Here are the steps and tools I used to heal so quickly.

Now some of these are obvious solutions but I think it is nice to be reminded and that if you actually fallow threw that you can heal quicker!

  • Lots and Lots of Sleep and Rest! I slept probably 10-15 hours a day/night. Stay down I know it is hard but it is better to spend a couple days on the couch then weeks of feeling crummy.
  • Lots of Liquids which this actually gets a little tricky... I believe that Gatorade and Juices actually can make you worse... Those are just chemicals and sugar that you are putting in your body and added sugar to your blood stream is going to make it harder to let your body rest and sleep.WATER is key
    • Lots of Hot Water with Lemon and Decaffeinated Herbal teas! I prefer Acai, Peppermint, and Green Tea. You should be drinking every Ten Minutes
  • Lots of Soup! Try and make it as homemade as possible. Now homemade broth has many steps so I prefer Bouillon cubes. It taste better and all you have to do is add it to boiling water. Instead of noodles try and add White beans and Vegetables. 
  • Vitamins!!! If you already have vitamin regiments then keep with it! I take a multivitamin, calcium, vitamin C & D. 
  • Keep Moisturized! Humidifier helps moisturize and flush all the bad out. If you do not own a humidifier then take a pot fill full of water and let water boil. Then safely place your head over pot into the steam. Another great way to moisturize is to take  Q-tips and put into Mineral Oil then gently use on nose and ears. Sounds funny but it will really help. Warm wash cloth. When lying on the couch take the time to rest a hot wash cloth on your eyes.
  • The lasting I do is I actually own an Earthling Sheet www.grounded.com. This mat has done wonders for Seth and me! Better sleep, quicker heal time, and less sore muscles. If you live in warmer weather you can outside and walk on the grass or sit in a lawn chair and place bear feet on grass for 20 minutes. Please only do this if you are in very warm weather!  
So those are the steps that I took and I believe to make you Happy and Healthy and over your cold in 3 Days!!!

Healthy Life= Happy Life
