5 Tips To Feel Better When You Have A Cold
Winter weather means the common cold is more common than ever.
Getting sick can zap our energy, which often takes a few weeks to recover. You can try your best to avoid anything going around this year by nourishing your body with immune-boosting foods.
But if you do catch a cold, there are a few tips and tricks you can follow to get your energy back—you'll feel like yourself again in no time.
5 Ways To Get Your Energy Back
1. Immunity Shots
Try a small but intense dose of vitamin C with shots made from ginger, orange, turmeric, and black pepper (or make your own). It'll boost your metabolism, give your body the antioxidants it needs, and help with inflammation.
This box has a three-week supply for great value and endless immunity.
2. Hydrate, Hydrate, Hydrate
We all know to drink our water, decaf tea, and electrolytes, but did you know your skin also takes a hit when you get sick?
A refreshing face mask, quenching cream, or thick lip balm can make us feel a little more revitalized.
3. A Good soup
Nothing says being sick like soup. Add bone broth into your soup base for extra vitamins and minerals and a feel-good boost. Add ginger or garlic for even more antibacterial power. For a vegetarian option, use miso paste diluted in hot water—it's rich in probiotics!
4. Nasal Spray
Breathing can be a challenge when you have a cold. Congestion can really affect your sleep and overall energy. You need to get rid of excess mucus in order to totally rest and repair.
Using a nasal spray with a saline solution is our go-to. Salt water helps dislodge anything trapped if your nasal passageways, which means you'll be breathing better in no time.
5. A Comforting Bath
If you need more energy, you have to take time to relax. When we catch a cold, we often don't stop or try not to let it interfere with our daily life because it's, "just a cold." But your body needs rest in order to recover. A warm bath with Epsom salt will reduce pain and inflammation in your body.
