Since I apparently have the immune system of a plague-ridden, Renaissance-era Victorian child, I find myself rather ill with a hell of a bug, not even one month after overcoming a different sort of cold virus. It’s more annoying than anything, and also rather inconvenient, but seeing as it is that time of year for … More These are the best foods to eat when you’re sick (part two)
I have come to the conclusion that my immune system hates me. I say this because I had just barely gotten over a nasty bug that held on for just about a month, only to be hit with yet another one days later. Life is just grand, isn’t it? As a result of my disdain … More These are the best foods to eat when you’re sick (part one)
I figured I could extend the topic of how to go about avoiding sickness into two separate posts, so here we are. In yesterday’s post, I explained how oregano oil and sweating are two things I swear by that help to lessen cold and flu symptoms when they decide to pay my body a visit, … More What do you do to ward off illness? (part two)
These past few weeks have been quite literally plagued with sickness for my family and me. I started to feel not so great about two weeks ago, and rather quickly and ever so generously shared my sickness with my dad. He, in turn, gave it to my sister, who then gave it to my mom. … More What do you do to ward off illness? (part one)
Sickness is not exactly something we wish to experience. No one particularly enjoys being ill for obvious reasons, so it makes sense that most of us try our best to keep our immune system defences up in hopes of warding off any harmful bacteria that yearns to make its way into our bodies. Unfortunately, though, … More Feeling a cold coming on? Stop it in its tracks with this
Today marks day three of the plague, and if this shit doesn’t sort itself out sooner than later, I think I might have to see a doctor. I keep telling myself tomorrow will be better, only to be severely disappointed, and I don’t know how much more of this I can handle before I literally … More Here’s what to eat if you have Norovirus
I had a relatively severe eating disorder when I was in high school. I was officially diagnosed with Anorexia and Binge eating disorder once I began my recovery, and I recognize now that I also had Orthorexia, however, the term had not yet been coined when I was ill. I have lost count of how … More The danger of of using medical terms loosely
Spring may officially be upon us, but the weather here in Ontario, Canada, isn’t exactly reflective of this as of late. In fact, I’m pretty sure this period of time is when a lot of us fall victim to the cold, miserable grasp of a variety of delightful colds and viruses, and chest infections are … More Here’s how to tame a chest infection (part two)
Alas, the time of year has come in which quite a few of us find ourselves feeling a wee bit under the weather thanks to the common cold, flu and other delightful viruses.

In case you haven’t noticed, COVID-19 is, in a way, here to stay. Since it made its grand entrance earlier this year, we have undoubtedly felt and noticed the lasting effects of its influence, and I’m not exactly sure how we will ever revert to what we once perceived as normal until a reliable and … More Coping with COVID-19 long-term
As we are all more than aware, the state of the world right now is questionable. Negative news seems to be coming at us from all angles, and with the amount of unfortunate news seemingly increasing with each passing day, it is easy to understand how and why we might be feeling a bit down … More Finding positives amidst chaos
As of late, we are hearing a lot about a recently-coined term known as social distancing in the wake of COVID-19. Social distancing involves all of us maintaining a safe distance (roughly three feet) from others while out in public areas to slow the spread and potential transmission of the Coronavirus, and it’s something many … More Stop being a selfish idiot and practice social distancing
It’s never fun to wake up with a cold. You open your crusty eyes, roll out of bed and feel your body aching. Your head is pounding, your sinuses feel like they’re filled with cement, and your throat feels like you’ve swallowed a white-hot poker. Chances are you have a bug of some sort. Cue … More At-home cold remedies that actually work
