Ginger & Lemon Tea & Rest

Cristina Carlos-Supino

Just recovered from the flu, this years strain was particularly brutal, unfortunately there are no miracle remedies for the flu. It is lots of Fluids ! and lots of Rest !

For fluids, my go to is Ginger and Lemon Tea, simply mince or cut chunks of ginger and freshly squeeze lemon juice into a large mug, pour over bowling water and seep for 5 minutes. Now ready to drink.

Ginger and Lemons are filled with Potassium, Calcium, Iron, Magnesium vitamin C & B-6.  In addition to tea being rehydrating it is replenishing you with these much-needed nutrients.

As for forced rest, see it as a period for reflection.  I also caught up on pre-recorded documentaries that I hadn’t had a chance to watch, so I got fuel for the brain as well !,

Think positive thoughts although feverish and achy, I am somewhere convinced it contributes to a speedier recovery
