sick.

Yes. Literally, I am. Oh, I don't know. I just have the colds and flu that always come and go. It's not pretty, but..oh, well. That's life. All of us have these 'minor setbacks' that would slow us down, but we always pick ourselves up when they're over.

Anyways, I was just thinking of a few things for us to religiously do to prevent these situations from happening. Just thinking. :)

First: Take Vitamins. Being in a modern world, we do not acquire our daily nourishment by killing the pig ourselves -- we now buy them from the groceries or the public market. So to take a capsule full of multivitamins (especially with Vitamin C) a day is always, always something that we can rely on getting the nourishment we need.

Second: Drink Water. Our body is two-thirds water. If we do not drink liquids, it creates an imbalance that leads to infection, sickness, starvation, so on and so forth. So it's very important for us to drink water every day. Six to eight glasses would be good.

Third: Eat Right. Just like the first one. Proper nourishment makes us healthy. Aside from the daily vitamins, it's also critical that we eat the right kind and amount of food, drink the right fluids, etc. They didn't create the Food Pyramid for nothing, right? The regimen is to monitor the right amount of nutrients that should be taken into our body.

Fourth: Exercise Regularly. Our body achieves balance if we monitor everything. The food we eat, the fluids we drink, and of course, the amount of exercise we do. It doesn't mean we do it every day. But if this can be done regularly, we would be one step closer to being the perfect immune organism that we have always wanted to be.

I can't think of anything else. But I think those are the basics. Honestly, I admit that I myself do not follow these religiously. That's the reason why I'm sick today. Although it wouldn't hurt to abide by these, of course.

It's always good to know that we are healthy. For us to say that we are safe and sound. It's one reason for us to be on the look out for our future. What do you say?
