take a sick day with me

here are the 6 things I do anytime i am under the weather! what do you do when you need a sick day?

Rest: Rest is crucial for your body to heal. Try to get plenty of sleep and take short naps during the day if needed. Scientific studies consistently emphasize the importance of rest in the healing process!

Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of fluids like water, herbal tea, and clear broths to stay hydrated. Avoid caffeine and alcohol, as they can dehydrate you.

Get Cozy: If you have a fever, make sure you stay warm with blankets and appropriate clothing.

Use Humidifiers: Humidifiers can add moisture to the air and help ease congestion, especially if you have a respiratory infection. Numerous studies have demonstrated the benefits of humidifiers, especially when dealing with respiratory illnesses!

Avoid Stress: Scientific research consistently links stress and anxiety to compromised immune function. Try to minimize stress and anxiety as they can hinder your recovery. Relax, watch movies, read a book, or listen to calming music.

Stay Home: If your illness is contagious, it's essential to avoid spreading it to others. Stay in a separate room and use a separate bathroom if possible.
