I grew up in a culture or family setting that it was normal to just to work through sickness and never take time to rest and recover. No one ever said, "try drinking more water." Every cold I had developed into a sinus infection that would last for weeks until I went to the doctor to get antibiotics. I was always so miserable. It wasn't until my mid 20s when I figured out for myself that I might need to take a day off work when I get sick and drink some water. Magic cure! I haven't had a sinus infection since. I'm sick for like 2 days and recover quickly. Just sleep and water... who would have thought?

Really appreciate this article!
