You feel bad enough that your mood is sour and existing is a little harder, but not sick enough to be restricted to your bed. It sucks to be in that in-between, which is why I\u2019ve compiled my top 3 \u201chealth hacks,\u201d as I like to call them, that have absolutely no business making me feel better, and yet somehow they still do.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Thirsty with a sore throat or weak stomach? Try mixing ginger ale and lemon-lime Gatorade! I like to call this my \u201cUranium Drink\u201d (as mentioned in my other article!), but it genuinely does make me feel better when I drink it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Next, try listening to your music just a little bit more quietly than usual. Sometimes a small volume change eases a headache I didn\u2019t even realize I was suffering from! Soft audio input will help serve as a distraction without stimulating your brain too much.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Finally, I\u2019ve found that doing simple logic puzzles while I\u2019m not feeling the best helps me stay sharp and focused, so I don\u2019t succumb to the brain fog that can happen when sickness starts.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hopefully at least one of these tips will help for at least one person!
