Immunity Boost While at Home

Immunity boosting while at home if you have the coronavirus or not is something imperative as we are all learning. I will be adding links and YouTube videos so you can get some tips, cooking ideas and other ideas for you and your family. And besides, I can not come to your house and nurse you back to health if you get "Dat Rona".

I have seen many researched pieces that I want to share with you. Mainly because I am sure you are tired of seeing me click claking away at this computer to send nonsense.

The first thing you want to do to boost your immune system to better fight "Dat Rona" is. . .

SLEEP!!!!

Yes, I hope you read that correctly. If you are anything like me, your mantra is sleep when you die. That is not a good way of thinking right about now because you can better beat Dat Rona with some sleep. I do not mean 6 hours- how about 8 hours of sleep. UNINTERRUPTED SLEEP!!! I can not emphasize this enough. I have been getting a lot of sleep since I stayed home this past week. WHOO!!! My skin even improved. I look like I am 30 right about now! So, get your rest please. Can't sleep at night? Once you clean up your place from top to bottom or get into some exercises you will knock right out after that bath you take. Yes, I am recommending bath and caring for yourself because that will be the difference between a ventilator and just a mild sore throat.

The next is eating well! I am not necessarily telling you to go vegan like I did. ( Well, I am a vegetarian part-time- like one day a week.) But, try to incorporate more veggies into your system as many of them have nutrient-dense ingredients in order to increase immune cell growth which, hey, more soldiers to fight that nasty virus.

This article from healthline gives a great play-by-play of vegetables that will help that immune system grow

Work it out!!! There are too many exercise videos out there that you can easily upload and run with. I pulled some up on YouTube and it is insane the exercises that are on there. I think I want to try out the Zumba videos with Beto which are around an hour. My exercise schedule have been about the same with jumping squats added to my routine:
1 min plank pose
10 push-ups
10 triceps pull-ups off the couch
10 sumo squats
10 donkey kicks per leg
10 suicides
10 squats
This is not done all in one time- I have to cook, clean and do work online so this is broken up into three pieces.

This is all for now. I will post some links to other valuable YouTube videos and links to other websites in order to get you motivated because sitting in the house for too long can make you crazy.! Also, we have been doing gardening out on our deck and running in the yard. You still have access to your yard and decks right? Well, get out there and remember we are all in this together!

The Great Conjunction- Function: What does it all mean?

Image
 If you are living under a rock or not into Google, you most likely did not see this picture:  So, if you did see this and think: how cute! Let me click on this. You already know. So, today is December 21st which is the winter solstice. If you are in the Northern Hemisphere, it marks the astrological first day of winter is the longest night of the year. What you may not know is that two planets are aligned so it appears as if they are giving each other a "high-five". They call this a conjunction when planets are aligned. How cute, right? They have not been this close since 1663, so this is an epic event. So, you will be seeing something that Galileo saw when he devised telescopes. This event happens every 20 years but every 321 years or so where you can see it in great detail. Both of these planets are beautiful, not like Earth but beautiful. Now, if you are like me and live in an area of light pollution, most likely you will see a star and a planet. Here, in Chicago proper, ...

Where does the Time go?

Image
 I know where my time goes- into treating patients. I am loving this life of treating numerous and multiple patients. Maybe from the suppression of seeing accident and worker's comp patients.  That is really me treating- no Photostock/AI pictures! Side Note: This was created in February 2025. It was stopped and completed in April 2025.  With changes in the schedule, it has been difficult to maintain this blog. I am keeping current and will begin to have a schedule where I post once a month. Wish me luck!

Food, Air and Water Show and NAILS

Image
Today has looks very similar to yesterday- work out, eat when you can, read, clean, computer searches for jobs along with ideas and concepts. This morning I went for a run and it looked like rain so I shortened the run and went a little faster just because I did not want to be like the old guy in the tale "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" and get struck by lightning. Hubby somewhat shocked me today because he asked about the Air and Water Show. I asked why and he thought it would be good for both of us to go either this year or next year. I have always hated the Air and Water Show because when I lived two blocks from the lakefront I could never nap or focus because of the noise of the planes. One thing about living in the city I do not like and that is all the noise pollution. I have pretty sensitive hearing so at times my hearing goes out for a day once it went out for three days and when I say goes out I mean it feels and sounds like someone put cotton in both my ears...
