Recovery, Reminicing, & Running

The temperature keeps on fluctuating. Sinus allergies have been on most everyone's mind (both literally & figuratively 😂). Sinus infections, or for the medical savvy, sinusitis 😊. Keep up on nutrition, fitness, sleep, & overall general wellness; take care of yo'self & these infections don't stand a chance of sneaking up - heck, sinuses don't even stand a chance of flaring if we'd all keep up on all these things just our bodies require & demand of us. We just squeeze a bit more from our bodies than we probably should on most occasions, so our bodies talk to us, & therefore there are these times when these allergies come a-calling reminding us of our vulnerability.

I'm all for natural remedies 😁😍😂. And now that I'm not exactly sleeping ten to twelve hour nights allowing my body to stop yelling at me while I "naturally" cure myself there's some time to reflect & consider the few things I did in order to naturally get myself back into decent health.

I happened to make homemade soup from scratch the day before I began to not feel as well as I expected myself to be feeling. High in protein. Chicken soup. Chunks of ground beef. Scrambled egg dumplings. Oh, and lots of veggies too 😋😍😂.

And I slept. And when I woke up I enjoyed it. I enjoyed that there weather outside those doors. I laced up, & I headed on out. I pounded that pavement. (Sometimes a hiking trail is a viable option too.) I got my sweat mojo going on. It felt great. I stretched (always stretch kids, always stretch! 😂). I felt great.

And I did feel great ... after ... I kept taking care of myself & eating well. I kept pulling out my extra tall mug & enjoying this at least once a day (typically twice 😋😂).

I got myself some potassium. I got mine as a complete snack. Remember kids when preparing to eat a banana cut one from the general grouping, or re-wrap up the top after pulling one away. This way the bananas take longer to age. This kinda explains it too. I got my banana peeled back & I got some of this out & "dunked" each bite. 😋😍 Pure YUM! 😍😋 The snack fills the belly quite well as potassium often does. The banana's potassium is also known for naturally nursing head pressure. If there happens to be any residual headache, the banana's peel can be pressed directly against the forehead in order for direct impact of the peel's potassium.

And I used essential oils too. I used a few I've taken to while I shower. This is one that many reviewers spoke highly of in the comments. Depending on what pressures the sinuses are affecting, this could also be a great, natural, way to go.

Getting back out & pounding the pavement though, that really seemed to be my major magic show. Even going on a hike wearing a pair of these would've made for something really great. Being back in the outside air is how my breathing pattern relaxed & normalized back to a normalcy; resting made the true difference.
