Perhaps it is the west coast winter damp, or maybe it is just because the kids are spending so much time inside this time of year? Whatever it is I feel like I am surrounded by little beings filled with the lurgy.
What is a Lurgy?
It is the coughing, sniffling, feverish, vommiting, night sweats, clammy skinned bugs that surround my children from November through to February.
Every day someone comes home with a new symptom they are complaining about. Sore throats, painful ears, stuffy noses, headaches, and so much more. It is like a pick-a-mix of seasonal illnesses in our family.
And I can NOT get sick.
I don’t have the time, and with everyone else dropping like flies, I just can’t. There is too much to do, and someone has to act as the human blanket, and make the mugs of cup-a-soup.
So, I prepare my defences.
I line my little soldiers up, one beside the other and get ready to build my walls against the bugs and bacteria that will play havoc with my holiday schedule.
By keeping my body filled with the vitamins and minerals it NEEDS, I am better able to fight off the bugs when they come!
Add to that LOTS of fresh air and exercise and a healthy diet and a (possibly) compulsive hand washing routine and I have been able to stave off the bugs for the last few weeks! Even with my dude using me as his human blanket!
I keep the kids boosted when I can as well! The Orange Naturals ND shakes are specially formulated to give YOUR kids the nutrients they need! They are chock full of greens and superfruits such as with broccoli, parsley, kale and antioxidant heavyweights like acai, goji and blueberries, and come in chocolate or vanilla.
Served cold they are the perfect healthy snack for a sick kid with a sore throat as well!
Healthy food, lots of exercise, regular hand washing and keeping my body filled with the supplements and nutrients it NEEDS this time of year all help! And don’t forget to get a good nights sleep as well!
