Always Battling Some Kind of Bug?

Are you constantly battling some kind of bug? Maybe it’s the stomach bug or a nasty cold or flu that you just can’t seem to fight off?

That’s not cool! You shouldn’t have to live your life with a tissue box and hand sanitizer under your pillow or mapping out where the nearest restrooms are everywhere in town. Your body should be able to fight these things off, but it can’t do that if you’re not giving it what it needs. Germs are everywhere. Believe me, I know. I work in a GYM! Germs are unavoidable. I touch sweaty people (that’s how much I love you) all day long. I am around you and you are around kids and kids are around sick kids…the germ chain goes on and on and on. It’s life.

Guess how often I get sick? Never. I honestly don’t know the last time I was legitimately sick with even a cold. And that is because I have built a strong immune system and continue to give my body what it needs to fight off the funk. I say all of that to encourage you to think about how often you get sick. If you are constantly not feeling well- even if it’s a constant headache or stomach ache or the sniffles- then it’s time to look at your plate. What are you putting into your body and how is that affecting your health? A lot of times we think our plate only affects how we look and we justify by saying we’ll work harder, but it goes so much deeper than that.

When you are healthier, you are automagically happier- wouldn’t you agree the world needs more happy people?
