These are my recs:

Don't wet your hair or if you have to wash it, dry it immediately after shower, don't let it air dry or sleep with wet hair. Wear socks ALL DAY EVERY DAY until you feel you're out of danger. Drink ginger, honey and lemon tea waking up and before going to bed Eat all your day's meals on time. Cover yourself to go out (wear a jacket of sweater, unless it's summer. If it's summer hot where you are: try not sweating and then going straight inside spaces with a/c) Don't put a fan directly in front of you (it will make it much much worse) Shower early or mid-day. Avoid night showers or windy weather (even if covered). Try doing all of these until you feel you're stronger or sure you'll not get the cold/flu.

howdy. depends.

for colds: - the Persians say 'bookhoor' - it is basically a facial steam with essential oils. Take your kettle. boil water. Water in bowl, covered with towel. Pop in eucalyptus, tea tree and lavender essentials (or really anything for an easy breathe). 3 to 5 drops. Don't go wild now, this steam has a bbite. Put your face under the towel for 10 minutes and breathe in the steam. Do it daily until you're recovered. - as the Chinese do, I would avoid eating anything that is cold (e.g. ice cream) or drinking cold drinks with ice (sorry you can't have your iced matcha today) - if you have a sore throat, honey lemon will do you a delight! put some honey into some warm water and dissolve (make sure it's not boiling because it kills the antibodies), squeeze some lemon juice into the water and drink! if you're feeling extra ethnic, add turmeric and garlic to the mix prior to other ingredient. This occurs through a boiling process on the stovetop. - don't go out! also don't go near toxic people! because they will rain on your parade and rain is to be avoided when you are susceptible to getting sick3r - healing prayers <3 if you have the flu pls get your yearly flu shot! make sure you get it significantly way before the colder months arrive wherever you reside, especially.

Sleep and eating well

Immune systems rarely need a boost, they just need the tools to function a peak performance. The number one way to kneecap your immune system is to not get sufficient sleep. Flu vaccines have been shown to be dramatically less effective when sleep deprived individuals took them. Your body needs 7-8 hours, full stop. Supplements are a racket. Most are concentrated doses of micro-nutrients that your system immediately flushes because they're not in a form your body can absorb effectively. You get these nutrients best through whole foods. Want vitamin c? Eat an orange. Increase the amount and variety of fruits and veggies in your diet. Two side comments: Rain/getting wet does not cause colds. Neither does eating/drinking cold foods, another misconception I have heard. However, cold, dry air (like from an AC) does dry out our sinuses which makes us more vulnerable to cold viruses. Getting outside and drinking warm drinks (like the teas deardoveswings suggests with helpful herbs) will keep our mucus membranes hydrated and effective barriers against contagions. Finally, COVID is still around and we are in the latest wave. Avoid crowed indoor venues when you can. Wear a mask when you can't. Especially if traveling on planes.

Protesting

i have seen so many protests for palestine in the last few weeks and saw so many people not protecting themselves. here are some tips (this is all my opinion and not at all by a professional, if there even are professional protesters): (partially ripped off of tyrathetaurus on twitter) first of all: protesting is good. if you have the privilege to attend protests for a good cause, definitly do it. you can inform yourself for every protest in your city online, it really isnt that hard. just look for the protest, your city and than 2024, or whatever year. second: many countries have the right to assemble!! i know of USA and Germany. its a human right to assemble and protest. dont forget this! third: the police is NOT your friend! they are not there to protect protesters, they are there to make it more difficult for you. we have seen this in BLM protests, we are seeing this on uni and college campuses for palestine. whatever you do, try not to talk to police. 1. how to stay safe: - write phone numbers on your body, write your name on your body - DO NOT go alone to protest. always have at least one person with you. if you see someone alone, help them, stay with them, invite them to protest with you. - put your phone on airplane mode, disable Face ID and fingerprint, use a PIN-Code, change your phone case to a black one, if you dont have it already. - never take pictures of others with out their consent (this is self explainable). try not to take pictures and videos of people that could be easily recognised. - dont wear stuff that can be easily recognised. wear stuff that hides your face and hides your skin. - WEAR A MASK!!! not only can it protect your from diseases, it hides your face incredibly well. - DO NOT talk to anti-protesters and police. youre doing more harm than good. its better to ignore than argue. 2. what to do if stopped and/or detained by police; what to do if youre threatend with or under arrest - dont resist. they will attack you - make sure someone is recording you, the officer, and the situation - ask if youre free to leave. if yes, WALK AWAY - ask why you are being arrested. if they dont answer: ask for legal represantation - DO NOT give personal information, everything will be used against you. Your rights if youre stopped/detained: - you have to give consent for the police to search your stuff. if you do, everything will be used against you - police can pat you down if they suspect a weapon on you 3. what to do if you see someone being detained - film it. police cannot view or delete the footage - talk to the person, calm them down. they are likely nervous and scared 4. USE YOUR PRIVILEGE!!! help the disabled, help possible minors, find medics for harmed or someone having a panic/anxiety attack, help BiPOC if theyre harrassed, etc… 5. if you are a minor, you should NOT protest, unless your guardian or a trusted adult is with you. remember: DONT GO ALONE 6. if you cant participate, HELP THE PROTESTERS!!! drop off water, allergy friendly food and snacks, sharpies, cards with helpful phone numbers, masks, hand sanitizers, etc… 7. cant protest at all? BOYCOTT AND REPOST!!! doing even something small is ALWAYS better than doing nothing. inform yourself https://bdsmovement.net/ especially if you are a minor: reposting stuff online, telling and informing others about the situation and boycotting IS HELPING. please stay safe, go protest if possible, always help others.
