Yesterday, I woke up with a cold - a sniffling, my nose will not stop running type of cold. I have my old regimen that happens when a cold starts and I swear that it kicks the nasty thing out of my system in about two days.
*Day 1 - Oh no! I have a cold. When this happens, I typically stay in, rest up, read a lot, and do not do any strenuous exercise or running. I pop vitamin C pills like no other, and drink copious amounts of green tea and water.
*Day 2 - I feel a little bit better! I still am sniffling but I feel like I could at least go for a run or do something to sweat out the toxins. For example, today I ran 3 miles when I woke up and sweat like I ran 10. During and after the run I started to feel even better. The key for the remainder of the day is pushing the vitamin C and liquids again.
Day 3 - Repeat - I should be mostly cured and feel like myself.
This is my holistic approach to sweating nasty colds out of my system! It works for me at least :P)Also, some yummy chicken noodle soup is always a nice added touch. Tis the season of colds.
