Our immune systems are compromised after 2 years of lock down. And as an Added Bonus (a Feature, not a Bug!) they injected a lot of us with poison.
I, myself, had a bad cold in January of 2020. No illnesses since, but I get a lot of fresh air and sunshine and have always had an everyday cold in the Spring of the year, usually around Easter. Like clockwork.
I like to think that my body re-boots itself by having those colds. I just chug the NyQuil and sleep for a few days and then I’m fine again. *SHRUG*
When I worked in an office & stayed home (mostly in the house) on weekends, I caught my share of “bugs” in the winter, mostly sore throat/cold combos. Miserable.
Then I took up hiking - I was in the mountains all weekend, hiking both days. Lots of fresh air, COLD air, seemed to really clear things right out. I was rarely sick after that. I also was afflicted with SADS ... being outside all weekend, every weekend (seriously), took care of that. The sunlight was angled steeply and ‘weak’, but just being out in the light was helpful. Bumped up Vit D big time & that helped as well.
The more time outdoors IMO, the healthier I think people tend to be, at least that’s how it is for me. Heather’s signoff on the DarkHorse podcast is “be kind to the ones you love, eat good food, and get outside”. Simple, but effective from my experience.
works for me
chug the “NyQuil” ...
You misspelled “Vodka”...
