Encore malade !

Encore malade !

Je ne sais pas ce qui se passe quand arrivent les fêtes de fin d’année mais ça fait deux années de suite, qu’à peine en vacances, un sale truc me tombe dessus. L’an passé, c’était une grippe carabinée (la faute à la douche extérieure de notre Airbnb alors qu’il faisait 5 degrés), et cette année, j’ai succombé à un rhume le lendemain de Noël. Je pensais que je jouais de malchance mais à la réflexion (une fois mon esprit un peu moins embrumé), je me demande si ce n’est pas la façon dont mon corps réagit à une surdose de travail. Chaque année, en automne et en hiver, mes collègues arrivent en reniflant au bureau et le plus souvent, j’arrive à passer entre les gouttes… Sauf qu’une fois que j’ai vraiment la possibilité de me détendre, mon corps arrête de se défendre contre ces virus dégoûtants … et se relâche complètement. Se retrouver complètement à plat l’espace de quelques jours, ça a ses avantages et ses inconvénients. J’ai beaucoup dormi, beaucoup regardé Netflix… mais qui a envie de passer toutes ses vacances au lit avec le nez qui coule et une migraine lancinante ? J’espère qu’en 2018, je serai capable d’éviter cette déconfiture totale en prenant mieux soin de mon corps tout au long de l’année.

  • I had the exact same problem for years…. always sick when I stop working for a few days, and even worst on vacation overseas, when my daily diet is not the same. I started taking probiotics 2 weeks before and during my time off work, and haven’t been this sick ever since !

  • Great advice Elodie! I just ordered some new probiotics yesterday, so hopefully that will help! xo Emily

  • My husband gets sick every single time that we take a vacation. I’ve learned to just build a few extra days into our vacation to make up for it. I totally believe it has something to do with finally resting after working so hard.

  • Same here! Well, in fact I always get sick during my holidays. I guess my body says: ok, now I can break down. And it breaks. My doctor has told me to try echinacea, let’s see what happens…
    I hope you are feeling better now!

  • I definitely think that extreme temperatures or changes in temperature (in winter for instance going outside to the freezing cold and then going inside places where the heat is very high) and stress make us more vulnerable to getting sick.
    As Elodie said, probiotics are great for this (and I take them every day regardless of whether I’m sick or not :). I also recommend to eat foods that strengthen the immune system (e.g. mushrooms) and a supplement of echinacea!

  • Et s’il s’agissait juste d’accepter le fait que la maladie est naturelle.
    Aujourd’hui, attraper un rhume est un aveu de faiblesse, un disfonctionnement.

    Cessons de vouloir toujours être performant tout le temps.

  • Hi Emily !
    First of all, Happy New Year !
    Always have on you Ravintsara essential oil, and as soon as you get cold and/or tired, let’s apply some inside your wrists and scrub them both together ;-)
    Have a nice day

  • Oh poor you! Hope you feel better soon!

  • Oh poor you! Sounds pretty annoying :/ My friends get sick every single time, too! Not sure how come. Hope you feel better soon!

  • Hello Emily
    I also love to travel and I am aware of the different bugs or viruses I might get. However, I have been sheltered by Vit C ( few grams daily), vit D3 and probiotics. They are supporting your immunity and make your experience a better one, despite the 40dg shower temperature. Actually the cold temperature is another immunity booster ;)
    Cheers for a healthy and happy NY!

  • The same thing happens to my partner. Sometimes I think our body gets « comfortable » with the environment we create over time, and when that changes, it gets thrown off.
    Wishing you a happy and healthy new year, and hope you are feeling better already!
