If there's one thing
that I'm proud of, it would be my health. All these years, I haven't been
confined in a hospital except for the two nights when I became a mom. Despite
having a good health record, I can't say that I'm physically fit and in tip-top
shape because I don't set aside time to exercise except for the brisk walking
and climbing of multiple flight of stairs whenever I commute to work once a
week. I don't even eat a well-balanced diet and worst, I easily give in to junk
food, chocolates and cold desserts because it's my way of rewarding myself and
staying sane.
And because of that,
I would normally get a sore throat and later on worsen to cough and colds. I
hated that feeling because it makes me unproductive and uneasy. Fortunately, I
have a personal 'doctor' to turn to, my mom. She would always prescribe me some
Chinese cough syrups or those black pills. She discourages me to drink
commercialized cough syrups or Ambroxol-type of drugs unless it's really
serious or prescribed by a professional doctor.
As I get older, I
discovered some effective tips that helped lessen my chances of getting a sore
throat. I see to it that I follow those tips religiously especially now that I
have become a mom, I can't afford to get sick. And I'm sharing my secrets to
you here.
