Between Christmas and New Year, my daughter unexpectedly decided to come home for a week.
She had been under a lot of stress, and she has been sick for the most part since Thanksgiving.
She needed to come home to heal.
Do you remember the Dr. Mom commercial? It was for cough syrup I think. The commercial said basically that Dr. Mom can heal anything. Tall order sometimes…
We had bad weather coming, so she was only here 5 days. In that time, we ate fresh real foods, with lots of vegetables and raw garlic. Drinks of choice were water, orange juice and V8 Fusions.
I got her back on the vitamin regime. We take a multi-vitamin, Vitamins C, E, D, Calcium with Magnesium, and Zinc, and Fish Oil. Being older, I also take garlic and CoQ10.
We relaxed, ate, and talked for most of that time – laying low. The dog needs exercise, so we always have a little exercise built into our lives.
She went home calm and healthy.
Here’s the thing.
This isn’t just a get well ritual. This is a keep from getting sick in the first place ritual. It’s also the recipe for staying thin.
Recipe to stay thin and healthy –
- Eat well
- Take your vitamins
- Hydrate wisely
- Relax
- Get enough sleep
- Get some exercise daily
Remember that stress can affect your immune system too. Simply taking the time to prepare and enjoy a fresh healthy meal does more for your health than you can imagine.
If you haven’t yet signed up for the free Mini-Course, Wake up in Control – you should do that now. It will help you start your day so that you have more control of your life. That will reduce a lot of your stress too.
Maybe I should open a Dr. Mom healing center. The FDA would love that one, wouldn’t they? 😉
