Day 24

          I have known for the last couple weeks that I was about to get sick, but today was the worst so far. I just felt off the whole day. It didn't help that I worked a double, but I was lucky enough to get off work earlier than usual. My first day of this year, my lesson was that sometimes we just have to take a break and take care of ourselves. Well, as someone without health insurance who works in the service industry, I don't get to call in sick. That doesn't mean I can't take care of myself. Even if you work everyday of the week, there are small ways you can do it too. Sleeping when possible, eating healthy, and working out are the best things to prevent and care for sickness, even the common cold. Drugs mask the signs that you're sick, but they also inhibit your body's way of fighting sickness. So, doing what is good for healthy living is also doing what is good for getting healthy! :)

Lesson:

Natural is better.
