How long a cold lasts depends on many factors. Having any ill health is far more about your health than it is able the label of the problem. And your health depends entirely on how well your immune system is functioning. Your immune system is intangible. You can't see it, so you don't look after it. There is no outward sign that whatever you do harms it. It is only when you become ill, that you realise it is not as healthy as you would like it to be. Getting a cold is a minor problem. You're not going to die from it. But it does give you a gentle reminder that all is not well. So, instead of focussing on the duration of your cold, instead be thankful that you have had this reminder to look after your immune system better. Ignoring this may lead to a harsher reminder in the future. So let's look at how you can look after your immune system, so that colds just don't last long, if you get them at all. Your health is your best asset. Forget about money in the bank or investments. If your health is good, you can always make money. If your health is bad, you'll probably never live long enough to enjoy it. 1. Make sure you eat well. Limit junk food to an absolute minimum. Ensure your diet consists of homemade meals high in fresh fruit and vegetables. 2. There is a global epidemic of a vitamin D deficiency that is not available in pill form. It is only available on regular exposure to the sun, on bare skin. Ensure you get regular supplies. 3. A good night's sleep is essential to a healthy body. If you're not sleeping well, put measures in place to address this: record the late-night movie to watch another evening, let some of the housework wait another day, get home early from work and so forth. If you have a chronic problem with sleeping, see a homeopath, who can help in this area. 4. Exercise makes everyone feel better. It doesn't have to be fast or furious. It simply needs to be regular and something you enjoy. Walking the dog may be all you need. Don't force yourself to go to the gym if this isn't your thing. As long as you enjoy what you do, you'll stick at it. 5. Regular relaxing time, time out for you, meditation, evening classes that nurture you, etc can make all the difference to your health. Work takes up too much time of most people's days and this is really not what life is all about. Agreed, it pays the bills. But if it destroys your health, is it worth it? 6. Put measures in place to ensure your overall relationships at home and work are healthy. If this means drastic changes, so be it. Home should be where you can relax and unwind. However, sometimes problems follow you. Good homeopathic health care can help in these areas. 7. By far the fastest and healthiest way to return your immune system to an active and working part of you is by the use of homeopathic treatment. Serious or chronic conditions such as sleep and relationships are best resolved with a professional homeopath. But for minor issues, such as helping your cold on its way, you can learn basic homeopathic home prescribing.
