Catching a cold or flu is never ideal, but in addition to trying natural remedies and resting when you can, there are a few things you should avoid to help your body recover faster.
Here’s a list of things to steer clear of when you’re under the weather:
Sugary drinks, alcohol and caffeine: These can dehydrate you, which can weaken your immune system.
Smoking or being around someone who smokes: Smoke can irritate your airways, making recovery harder.
Not resting: Rest is just as important as medicine when it comes to healing.
Junk food and skipping meals: Proper nutrition supports your immune system, so don’t skip meals or settle for unhealthy snacks.
Unhygienic habits: Wash your hands often, and always cough, and sneeze into a flexed elbow to prevent spreading germs.
Not drinking enough water: Staying hydrated helps thin mucus and keeps you feeling better overall.
