I am currently sick with the Flu that has been going around Penn State, so here are the top five things that helped me heal fast and effectively.
- Chicken Noodle Soup
-
Warm chicken noodle soup is my favorite thing to eat when I’m feeling ill because it always helps clear my throat quickly.
It also has several health advantages, like hydrating and relieving congestion. Chicken noodle is the finest recovery approach, especially because of its delicious flavor.
In State College, I love to go to Panera and get chicken noodle soup in their bread bowl for a little additional carbs.
- Tea
-
In addition to being quick and simple to produce, tea has several health benefits and a variety of flavors to select from when you’re unwell.
I prefer to add a teaspoon of honey when I’m unwell, which speeds up my recovery. When I am refusing to get out of bed all day, it’s nice to know how simple it is to make a warm cup of tea. Not only does it help me feel better quicker, but it also gives me a lot of drive to get through the day.
- Shower Steamers
-
Since not everyone at college has the luxury of having access to a bathtub, the next best thing I like to do is buy shower steamers or vapor showers.
This way, I can have my own private spa in my school shower.
If you’ve ever been really sick, you know how wonderful warm baths are, so in my opinion this is the next best thing. All you have to do is place the vapor tablet on the floor and your steaming healing shower will begin to aid in your recovery.
- Purchase a humidifier
-
It’s inevitable to get sick while in college, so the least thing you can do is be ready and take every precaution to avoid being sick.
Having an air humidifier in my room has been helpful to me; it not only improves respiratory health but also makes the air feel much cleaner and helps me sleep like a baby at night. I also turn it on when I get sick, and it greatly improves my breathing.
If you’re looking for a purchase that will help you recover from your illness quickly, this is one I can confidently recommend.
- Starbucks Medicine Ball
-
Starbucks medicine ball: I have heard from many people, and can say so myself, this is a lifesaver when you are feeling under the weather.
This is a drink at Starbucks that contains jade citrus mint tea, peach tranquility tea, hot water, steamed lemonade and honey. You take one sip and you are already feeling on top of the world. Additionally it is also filled with many immunity benefits.
I hope the next time you guys are sick, this is helpful and leads you to a nice healing journey.
