I wasn’t ready.

Who is ever ready for getting sick…..right?!?

Well, actually, I usually have some arsenals in my “medicine” chest for those few times a year when I feel something coming on.

That normally does the trick for me where I will go ahead and make tea with it and I might drink 8 cups of it over a period of the day depending on how I am feeling……but  by the next day, it is like nothing ever happened or just a couple days of residuals like having a deeper voice for example.

But this time was different than any other time.  I did not have it in my medicine chest and now I

totally regret not restocking.  

While I got over the brunt of it within a couple of days, I still am experiencing residuals and it has been over a week!  I am still getting a little cough which I am finding quite irritating especially because I love to talk! Ha ha ha!

I reckon, I have been burning the candle at both ends and in the middle temporarily so that did not help……and I did not miss a single marathon training session (I’m at the very beginning of my training), but still, I am soooooo not accustomed to being under the weather for so long and having a cough that lingers that long either.

Since I didn’t have my normal arsenals, I kranked up my vitamin C intake with some fresh, organic, locally grown lemons.  And when I say kranked up……I mean that I drank strong lemon water with no sweetener added. Pucker up kind of strong! The only thing I added besides water was some apple cider vinegar.  

If you ever make fresh squeezed lemon juice with a hand juicer, make sure you don’t cut yourself as that stings like H-E-double hockey sticks!  

After this whole experience, you can bet your patootie that I am restocking on Vitalized Immunity.  Not only does it give me the amount of Vitamin C found in the equivalent of 16 oranges in each fiz tab, but it also has a wonderful blend of immune supporting botanicals.  And, the cool think about making a tea out of it by dissolving in warm water is that it releases the orange oils which coat the throat as you drink it for a wonderful soothing experience.

Get yourself some Vitalized Immunity to keep in your Medicine Chest and, of course, staying healthy starts with a good foundation.
