Keeping Healthy

I never give it much of a thought. On our last cruise I came down with a cold after a week and a half. The last 3 days on the ship and the couple of days in NOLA my nose ran like a tap. Meh .. carry lots of tissue and drink lots of liquids and enjoy the trip.

I don't get the flu shots I usually don't get that sick and isn't it supposed to make you sick at first? or is that just others reactions.

I do my best not to get sick but last week I got Strep Throat and immediately went to the doc and am well on the mend now. I actually stress over being sick while on a cruise. It certainly would take the fun out of it

I get my flu shot in October, sooner if I am on a cruise that month. I make a special effort to stay away from anyone who is coughing, sneezing and blowing his/her nose in the weeks before a cruise. I take vitamins daily anyway. Did also get my pneumonia shots and shingles vaccine. Of course, once on the ship, you can't escape those who are sick who come to the shows or movies and cough throughout the event. My husband & I have on occasion moved to a different seat because a person sitting behind us had a hacking cough and looked flushed. If I have a bad cold & am coughing, I stay home or away from people. So far, I have not been sick on a cruise.

But it tastes better lol

I think there’s plenty of vitamin C in vodka… I mean, orange juice…

We've been taking Curcumin for a couple of years now, in the fall and winter and haven't had a single cold. Most winters when we lived in a colder area (Johngold's town) we always got colds. We eat really healthy, exercise etc., but these supplements seem to help.

I try and keep healthy before a cruise. If I feel something coming on I will take some Olive leaf extract and Zinc to boost the immune system. I also pack some of each for cruises.

ok something like supplements?

Vitaminies.....

Like Lucille Ball sold on TV?
