AIBU?
Positive autumn habits
C1239 · 24/09/2022 16:39
I really want to feel better in myself. Work is quite stressful, well I’m putting stress on myself half the time which leaves me feeling low on energy and half the time like I’m coming down with another bug of some sorts.
Now we are into autumn and there will be more colds etc in general I want to get fitter / healthier / be a more positive version of me!
For those of you feeling in a good place at the moment and who manage to avoid a cold every 5 minutes can you tell me your secret / top tips?
Am I being unreasonable?

When you're not doing something absolutely essential or fun, rest without guilt.
Walk outside for 30 minutes every day.
Eat a plant based diet with as many portions of veg as you can manage.
Avoid processed food.
Use garlic in everything you cook, double the amount in the recipe
Use cinamon and tumeric wherever you can.
Drink a pint of lemon water every day.
Take vit D and B12.

I wouldn’t mind wearing a mask but it seems literally no one does now and I know it’s silly but I don’t want odd looks!! I really want to try and boost my immune system
A high quality mask (FFP2 or better still FFP3) is a great way to stop unwanted bugs running you down.
i’d rather protect myself than worry about looking the odd one out, tbh!

Yes apparently, I don't think they can hold the string properly and so tend to go away disgruntled rather than risk losing the game.

Following this and liking all the ideas. I'm trying to walk and eat healthily. I have loads of spiders- do conkers deter them?
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Cooled boiled water, salt and bicarb. It's a bit weird at first but once you're used to it it's a revelation.

@MarsupiIami I'm intrigued by the sinus irrigation! Do you use saline?
How often do you do it?

Twice a day. I used to get bad sinus issues several times a year and it's stopped since I started.
