So I don’t really know if this is brag worthy or not, because in my eyes it was actually extremely UPSETTING, but I was able to follow my healthy snacking task for the week. Now, the reason I was able to follow my task did not come out of good will, but because I got the flu. Therefore, I have to be honest and say I’m not sure I would have been able to control myself under regular circumstances. Anyways, due to my very long and ill week, my mother encouraged me to snack on fruits and healthy cereals to help regain my strength.
I have to say, everyone must take the severity of the flu seriously! I was planning a trip to New York for weeks and the day I was supposed to leave I was summoned to my bed for the week. Instead of strutting my stuff as a version of Yasmine Bleeth from Baywatch on Hallow’s eve and doing my annual shopping exercise, I was cooped up in my bed with peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and three seasons of family guy. Everyone needs to realize the importance of healthy eating and an active lifestyle and understand that it can help strengthen your immune system. I have a very weak immune system and thus when I get sick, it really affects me. Part of the reason may be that I don’t eat enough protein, vitamins or get enough of the right nutrients and because of that I don’t have enough immunity to fight off germs. I will say that I can’t attribute my flu to my bad eating, it is flu season. But it definitely makes me wonder if I paid more attention to my nutritional intake, would I have gotten as sick as I did?
Here are some healthy eating tips I came across because Quaker oats, oatmeal squares was one of the cereals I was snacking on.

I would like to retake on my task of healthy snacking for this week because everyone’s eating habits are different when they are sick. Stay healthy everyone!
