Staying Healthy for the Wedding

I taking a daily vitamin every day. And was trying to stay active at least twice a week during the wedding planning process (though that proved to be kind of hard the closer it got to the wedding)

I had weight loss surgery a few years ago, and because of it I have to take several vitamins and supplements for the rest of my life. I have added probiotics. I also have been drinking a lot more water, and i've been working out 3 days a week for several years, but now i've added walking too...it's good for my mental health and good mental health helps keep me from feeling rundown.

I got super paranoid two weeks out from the wedding. Leading up to the day, I was on multi-vitamins, allergy medication, and Airborne. Any time I felt the dreaded tingling on my lip, I pre-emptively applied cold sore medication. I instantly medicated when I felt under the weather to try to push it down. In addition, I was following my make-up artist's guidelines on drinking lots of water and cutting sodium from my diet. 🙄

I take Airbourne immune system vitamins they seem to work, my FH is sick right now and so far I have seemed to avoid his cold. I take them year round. Also working out at least 3-4 days a week and eating healthy!

Prior to the wedding, I was eating super healthy but also taking a women's multivitamin every morning and drinking a ton of water. I washed my hands several times a day and disinfected my phone and desk every single week.

Currently taking a multivitamin, B12, and airborne. I had a few sick kiddos during summer school so immediately upped everything. So far so good, have to get through till Friday!!!

Probiotics definitely help (with just about everything in my opinion), but adding a good vitamin D supplement and vitamin C would be most helpful. You can also take an echinacea to really boost your immune system both as a preventative and if you find yourself coming down with something to help you get over it quicker. Other than that, lots and lots of water, healthy food - stay away from sugar as much as possible because it will really weaken your immune system, and as much rest as you can possibly get.

When I get sick, it's usually throat related so I go to the doctor asap to test for strep. That way if it is, I can get rid of it faster!
