Health Lessons You Learned As An Adult... Post As You Wish..

[Spacescifi]

I will go first.

There is with few exceptions any dietary or nutritional guide that will work for everyone. It is necessary to be in tune with your body, and seek out the foods that make it feel well or healthy.

I was feeling ill for days, coughing with a feeling of congestion, and a burning sensation in my chest when I blew my nose or coughed hard.

So I ate oatmeal today and what do you know?

I feel less congested and I'm not blowing my nose constantly nor coughing constantly anymore. My nose is not even running anymore.

I almost cannot believe oatmeal... mere oatmeal, DID all of that!

Now in my case I can do this because I have no allergy to oatmeal and I also have no issues I am aware of with gluten.

So when you are sick, remember the foods that helped you in the past, and you could also do research, but honestly for me the most reliable guide for what is good for me is how my body reacts afterward.

I've found that listening to my body is crucial. Recently, I was battling congestion and a persistent cough. Surprisingly, oatmeal provided relief—my congestion eased, and I stopped coughing excessively. It's amazing how such a simple food can make a significant difference! For me, oats work because I have no allergies to them or gluten. It's a reminder to trust what works for you individually, rather than following one-size-fits-all rules. What health insights have you discovered that guide your dietary choices?

Hot mess like the oatmeal warms the nasopharynx, and makes the snot be produced less.
The snot stops flowing down into the throat, stops infecting and irritating the throat, the coughing gets more rare.

The more snot stays inside the nose, the less snot gets produced (as the dry mucous is irritated and causes the snot production as an antibacterial lubricant).

The baby cream, been put into the nose, works like artifical snot with antibacterial properties, it replaces the snot production and thus excessive coughing.

Also, the wet carton sheets with mustard, been put on the back of torso, and covered with towel, make the skin burning red, but help to stop the dry coughing. (Warning, don't forget to take them off in time to prevent the burns, and them clean the skin with wet towel, and don't put them against the spine and against the heart or big vessels.)

And the essential oil balm like the Vietnamese "Golden Star" onto and into the nostrils.

P.S.
Notice the first two photos.
The mustard carton also make the beard grow big before you take them off.

getting old sucks, and it starts to suck sooner than you think.

that said taking care of myself has never been a thing i did. i figured it would just make me live longer. i stand by this decision. if you haven't done anything of value in your first 40 years, you probably aren't going to in your second 40, and i'm just here, creating entropy. my advance directive says simply "use corpse for hospital pranks".

I've also heard it said that; Old age isn't for ------- (what we call little cats).

And on that note, don't smoke (anything) or vape.  COPD sucks.  Not being able to breathe, what it feels like, is nothing any of you will ever want to experience.

And once you start smoking you may or may not be able to stop. My dad was a pack a day smoker from the age of 12, and he was never able to quit as much as he tried. When he was in the hospital after his work accident he literally sat in his double room and watched the guy in the bed next to him die of COPD/emphysema. Still couldn't quit. Nicotine addiction is real. He told my brother and I over and over again: Never smoke. And I never did.

Just listen to your body's reaction. Go natural, and avoid pesticides.
