Post-sickness care is so important but we don't really talk about it much. We may be feeling better but your immune system worked its butt off and needs some supportive care.
#
After being sick I always try to give myself as much supportive care as possible. Which means creating (yes, CREATING) down time in my days to rest, nutrient dense foods and supplements to support my system.
#
Since this time I also ended up on a round of antibiotics I'm also focusing on adding more pre and probiotics into my diet. Not to mention oregano oil, vitamin C & D to support my immune system.
#
And water! I don't think I realized how little water I've been drinking in the winter months until I focused on getting it in. Now that I realized it, I realized I hate drinking water in the winter... but that's another post.
#
Anyways. I've also started making this random little drink as a treat. Bear with me, because it is random.
#
@califia blueberry kefir mixed with equal parts @foragerproject plain kefir, a sploop of chia seeds and a dash of cinnamon.
#
See? I told you it was random... but SO good.
#
So your turn. What are some post-illness supportive care things you do to support your immune recovery? Share with us in th comments below.

I'm baaaaack!
#
Or close enough, which I'll take.
#
There's nothing like spending 12 days on a couch sick to really kick off the New Year, eh?
#
While it's not how I anticipated my 2020 starting, it's ok. And if yours isn't quite off to the idyllic vision you had for it, it's ok.
#
The new year is just an arbitrary marker. You can pick up whatever it is you started whenever you'd like. So tomorrow, it starts again for me.
#
In the meantime, I've used 2020 to watch what seems to be nearly every show ever made. When I asked what you recommended you overwhelmingly recommended Cheer. When @nomnompaleo gave it her thumbs up as well, it was a done deal.
#
And man, it did not disappoint! I was feeling sorry for myself sitting on the couch and this documentary about Navarro cheer was just what I needed.
#
I laughed, I cried, I donated to Jerry's Go Fund Me... which I've linked in my bio for you to do the same if you're so inclined.
#
So maybe 2020 didn't start off quite up to your expectations but there's still 331 days left to get shit done. 💛
