Healthy Food 4 Healthy Life ( What can I take when I get a cold or get sick?)

Annie and I have been living in the KETO and CARNIVORE LIFESTYLE for over 5 years.

We have changed our LIFESTYLE and use food to maintain our health. In doing so we have decided to share our experience with you. We also provide FREE RESOURCES on our facebook group.

Hello fellow followers and Carnivore and Ketovore family friends and those who are searching for answers to a HAPPY HEALTHY LIFE!

Face it we are human even if we have the perfect diet eat all the right foods at some point we will most likely in our life catch a cold. I am talking about a common cold not a disease or stronger sickness.

Even if we take every precaution and avoid contact with all other humans (come on ) we all know it is impossible. If you got kids, go to a job, or just enter into society us humans seem to carry germs and spread them around.

However you are attempting to live a Happy Healthy Life so what can you do?

Recently I ran into this issue the sickness set in  on me and it attacked me in coughing, mucus, and a runny nose.

I would go a few weeks and it would finally be beaten, but then due to kids being sick, my wife and I trading germs, and staff being sick at my work it returned several times. Each time it seemed worse. A common cold can last from 7 to 10 days and the effects of that cold can go on for weeks. Getting enough rest, drinking plenty of fluids, making sure your body is getting the right nutrition, and getting enough rest can help fight off these sickness spells. However if like us you have a busy life and medicine is the fastest cure though I am not a fan of meds myself.

There are many cold medicines on the shelf at most any store. Do they contain Sugar?

YES MANY OF THEM CONTAIN SUGAR!

Many of the liquids or flavored meds contain sugar. This is why if your diabetic you need to really pay attention to the med your taking and if your living a Keto, Ketogenic, Ketovore, or Carnivore LIFESTYLE you will need to pay attention to the meds you take as well.

READ THE LABELS often sugar is not listed but if you check the Carb Heading and it says ZERO this has indicated the med has no sugar in it.

TAKE A PILL instead of liquids but in my case pills seem not to work as well on my body.

TALK TO YOUR DOCTOR OR HEATH PROFESSIONAL about other options.

You can try to boost Vitamin C, drink plenty of liquids, get lots of rest, sip warm drinks. Many health professionals recommend honey however it is not part of the Keto or Carnivore Lifestyle. 

Face it there is  NO CURE FOR THE COMMON COLD however if you get sick it is important you stay in your HEALTHY LIFE STYLE.

Having build a stronger immune system will help you fight off colds more often. 

This is the first time I have gotten sick in nearly 4 years.
