After I wrote yesterday’s post I got to thinking. Yes, cancer treatment side-effects have had a big effect and yes, it’s quite depressing to realise how membrane-thin my good health is.
But.
In my cupboard, there are tubs of vitamin C, zinc, and cod liver oil tablets, all of which have been unopened since about 5 days after I bought them, months ago,resolving that I was going to start Looking After Myself Properly.
I know that rinsing my mouth with hot salty water reduces the pain and the chance of ulcers, but I’ve got out of the habit about that too.
Another week has gone by without booking the yoga and/or pilates classes that I have been claiming to be desperate to do for the last six months at least.
So, yes, cancer did some damage. But I could be taking better care of myself. I’m starting today: I’ve taken the supplements and had a cup of hot water and lemon instead of the second tea.
What else can I do to protect my health? What do you do to take care of yourself?
