SICK

DODGE

Sometimes being sick sounds like a nice way to get out of a long to-do list. But then as soon as you get sick you're like why did I ever wish that because you still have to cross things off and you just feel crappy doing it. So don't wish to get sick and don't get sick. Here's some friends that might assist you. 

ALSO side note: your body is working really hard for you. It's at war. Fighting for you. So don't make it extra hard for your cells to gear up. Eating foods that are hard to digest will just put more strain on your already weak cells. When you’re sick, it might be smart to eat food that are already mashed up. Smoothies are usually the ticket for me. 

Garlic

garlic is a very fond friend of mine. Garlic does so many amazing things for you it would be stupid to write a list. BUT I will have you know, they can help prevent getting a cold/sick by so much!! I've read that eating a garlic everyday can reduce your chances by 80%. Which is a lot. Now I don't really know how accurate that statistic is because I personally did not perform the study, but even if it's half true, that's enough for me. 

Garlic can add flavor to your cooked food. Add it to the sauce pan in whatever you're making. Another good way to get daily amount of garlic is eating picked garlic. You might think "wow you're really weird". Which I am. But believe me or don't: picked garlic is delicious. You can make it or buy it. I eat about 4 cloves a day and I think they do a tremendous job. Thanks garlic. 

ginger 

ginger is another really powerful little guy. Especially in the sick department. Ginger can prevent you from getting sick or help you get better faster. So take your pick. It's an anti-inflammatory so it can calm your whole body down. 

Drink some ginger tea when your feeling down. It will help soothe a sore throat it the snap of a finger! (maybe slightly longer)
