Alternative Medicine

The cold season is in full swing and it's not even Winter yet!

Our family was laid low back in March and took the entire month to recover, what with runny nose, coughing, stuffed head and aches & pains, and as it was viral, no effective medicines were available from the doctors.

I know anything that doesn't require a prescription is viewed sceptically by some as "alternative medicine", and less effective than a pill, but since when did good food, adequate sleep & restorative exercise become "alternative"?

If you're currently down with a cold or flu, do pay special attention to your health and general well-being.

Eat plenty of fresh foods, especially leafy greens and try a couple of whole oranges each day (no, the juice is not enough, you're just drinking sugar).

Get enough rest & sleep; don't just try to push through if you're really sick, no one at your workplace wants the germs and you're way less productive trying to think and work through a head-cold fog.

Unless you're achy throughout your body, try to maintain a reduced exercise program; even walking every other day will maintain the fitness gains you've made this year.

There is a time for everything and when you're sick, it's taking care of Self time.
This too shall pass and you'll be right back into loving the busy-ness of your life, with a greater appreciation of how truly important good health is.

You have made an amazing difference in this past year, for your health and the rest of your life.

You have made a commitment to your Self that is bringing benefits you may never have imagined, as well as the one's you notice every day.

You are stronger, fitter, healthier, better than you were a year ago.

YOU are the person in charge of making this happen!

Keep Getting It Done!!
