i think that illnesses are our bodies way of telling us we need some rest. i know, that in my case, this is true. i seem to be on the edge of some sort of pneumonia at present. i am on two types of antibiotics but i am not sure if they are helping at all. hope you feel better real soon!

It sounds like you are really in tune to what your body needs. Yes, get those doses of Vitamin C and lots of water (I need to follow my own advice). Vitamin C is not only good for colds, but it is the one nutrient we can take that will help fight cancer. Vitamin C rocks my world. I sure hope you feel better soon, and get the rest you need.

Becoming ill is definitely the bodies way of saying 'I need more rest'. You're right on track with water and vitamin C. Also, warm liquids for your throat if it's beginning to hurt- hot tea- peppermint with honey, I'd suggest. Honey soothes and aching throat. Chammomile is also very nice. Don't put in refined sugar if you can help it because sugar feeds viruses so it's best to avoid while you're ill. Feel better!

If you eat healthy, have a healthy life style you don't need extra vitamine C. BTW your body is not able to store vit. C so if you already eat what you need a day the rest you will pee out. For the rest.. many people do have the flue and they all go on, especially if they have responsibilities for other or have to take care of others. Mothers for example. Never a free moment. And you know what? They all survive it. So how come you need extra rest? Perhaps you should sleep instead of being on the internet or?

Remember that whenever you get stressed, your immune activity level goes very low. In this situation, you are most likely to catch viruses and bacteria and since your immune activity is low, you will definitely get sick because your immune soldiers will not be able to kill the bacteria and germs. lack of sleep also causes the immune activity level to go down.
