HOW DO YOU TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF IF YOU ARE SICK?

These are something I do when I get sick : Eat Very Lightly Or Not At All - With most illnesses, the appetite is diminished. This is a natural response of the body. Energy is needed to fight off the "bug" and the body doesn't have the energy to process food. Give your digestive tract a rest! Eat Raw Garlic - If you can stand to chew a whole clove, that’s great, otherwise, chop the garlic up and put it on top of any food you like (not sweets or dairy.) Put the garlic on after you cook the food, as heat destroys most of the beneficial properties. Try these: steamed greens (collards, kale, Swiss chard) with olive oil and garlic on top, dip bread into olive oil with chopped garlic and black pepper in it, or cook some pasta and sprinkle chopped garlic on top. Drink Plenty Of Fluids - This is standard good advice. You can clear the toxins from a "bug" out of your system with large amounts of filtered water and herbal teas. Fruit juices are not good choices as they have a high concentration of sugars in them. If you do choose to drink fruit juices, dilute them with more than half filtered water. Get Rest As Soon As Possible - Many people ignore the early warning signs of illness and keep working until they "drop." You will take longer to heal if you allow the illness to get a foothold. If you feel a sore throat, headache, congestion, etc., coming on, take it easy. If possible, take a day off from work. This may prevent you from having to take three days off later on.

Most people with the flu have mild illness and do not need medical care or antiviral drugs.
If you get sick with flu symptoms, in most cases, you should stay home
and avoid contact with other people except to get medical care.
If you are in a high risk group and develop flu symptoms, it’s best for you to contact your doctor.
Remind them about your high risk status for flu.
Health care providers will determine whether influenza testing and possible treatment are needed.
Your doctor may prescribe antiviral drugs that can treat the flu.
These drugs work better for treatment the sooner they are started.

For me, sleeping is the better way to take care myself when I have a flu.
- Stay in bed and keep calm and quiet. Use the strength your body has to fight the illness,
rather than waste it trying to do laundry or go to work when you're sick.
- Take frequent naps. Sleep is the best way for your body to heal. Turn off the
television and turn off the telephone. You'll feel better after a nap.

The important thing to remember when you are ill, is to take care of yourself first. Do not worry about other people or their problems. You became ill for a reason; now you must nourish yourself and sleep as much as possible. Drink lots and lots of fluids. It is okay to be lazy when you are sick, because if you do not take the time for yourself, you will take a lot longer of a time getting well again. Taking care of yourself now will actually help your family in the long run. Frequently take your temperature. If you are running a fever, use Tylenol and cold compresses to gently pull your body temperature down and regulate it. Even though with the fever, you may be freezing cold and just want to warm up, do not take a hot or warm bath. Taking a hot or warm bath can cause violent vomiting and even a blackout. Just bundle up and lay in bed reading or sleeping until you are able to sweat out the fever.

Taking care of our health is always important, but it's critical when we're ill. Whether we have a cold or the flu, there are things we need to do in order to help our body recover in times of illness.
