I have a NWR question - how do you stay healthy? I never used to get sick, but I've already had 3 colds this flu season and don't know what to do to stay healthy!! I eat right, exercise, drink tons of water, wash my hands all the time, but I can't take this!! I've had two colds this vacation alone! So, what do you do to stay healthy and cold-free? Help, I can't take this!

You are right about stress - it definitely wears me down. I need to make my health a priority. Thanks for the good vibes - I need them! We were going to get so much wedding stuff done over this break, but instead I was sick the whole time. Blech. STRESS!!!!

vitamins and getting enough sleep. I can get very stressed and sleep deprived and that's when I get sick. Listen to you boady and give in when you need rest.

Wish I could help you out on this one Carla, but I'm battling a nasty cold now as we speak. I usually don't get sick until I rest though. When I'm working and running all the time, I guess I don't have time to get sick. It's when I have time off that I get sick! Guess I can't take anymore time off of work!

i just heard that taking vitamin d is also really helpful (actually, according to the doctor i heard, MUCH more helpful than vitamin c). supposedly in the winter we're severely lacking in vitamin d b/c of the lack of exposure to sun...and that does bad things to the immune system. so i'd try that maybe? hope you feel better!!!!

Re: NWR: Advice needed
This is good advice - I need to get more sleep. Laura, I'm totally in the same boat. Its like, when I let myself slow down for a minute I get sick, hha. Not when I need to be at work. I can't take sick days after being on vacation for 1.5 weeks!!
I'm definitely getting to bed early tonight and taking vitamins. Keep the advice coming, if you have it, TIA!!!
