No matter how robust someone’s immune system may be, everyone catches a cold from time to time. While there is no known cure for the collection of viruses known as the common cold, there are quite a few steps that you can take to speed your recovery if you do get sick:
-
First, stay well hydrated at all times. Liquids like water or electrolyte-filled sports drinks are ideal for keeping you hydrated, and drinking them cold may help keep your internal temperature down. Juices and vitamin drinks, especially drinks containing Vitamin C, may help fortify your immune system.
-
Get as much sleep as possible. Try to maintain regular sleep hours, and take naps as long as they don’t radically alter your normal schedule. Sleeping helps your body consolidate its natural defenses and may help you shrug off a cold more quickly.
-
Eat nutritious meals that contain vegetables, fruits, and whole grains, which can also help to strengthen your immune system. Take care to avoid foods that are high in grease, including fast food and, surprisingly, most types of chicken soup, which has leftover chicken grease capable of upsetting your stomach and slowing the recovery process.
Following these tips should help you recover more quickly and be back on your feet in no time. Fortunately, your spacious apartment at The Quarters is the perfect place for you to get the rest you’ll need to recover completely from a cold or other illness.
