Rest
The most important tip to recover quickly is to rest well. So call in sick at work and cancel your appointments. Of course it’s annoying but it’s very important.

Stay warm
It is important to ensure and maintain a good temperature in the environment. By making sure the temperature is comfortable, your body doesn’t have to work harder to stay warm or, on the contrary, to cool down. Turn on the heating when it is cold outside and wear warm clothes. For example, wear a nice sweater (herentruien) and socks (merino wol sokken) or stay under the warm sheets. Of course, it is not comfortable to wear
a neat long sleeve polo shirt.

Drink enough water
Ginger tea is not the only miracle cure, it is very important to keep drinking enough.

Fresh air
Going outside to get some fresh air is also incredibly important. Light exercise can also help to promote recovery. Think of a walk or gentle yoga exercises. Gentle movement improves your circulation, reduces stiffness and stimulates your lymphatic system. Polluted air has a very big impact on your health. And to think that the air inside the house is often more polluted than outside. Polluted indoor air can significantly reduce your recovery. Keep your windows ajar and make sure fresh air is always flowing into your home.
