I woke up this morning not feeling all that good. I wasn’t sure why, I had body aches and felt
exhausted. I thought maybe a good sweat
would get it out. I suited up complete
with a hoodie sweatshirt and hit the road. I kept up a good pace running through
the exhaustion thinking the whole time that when I was done I would feel
better.
I finished my run, had a protein shake, and hit the
shower. Afterwards I felt worse. I had body aches and pains. It was a bad
day. I am not sure if I am coming down
with a cold or its just allergies from this time of year but whatever it is, it
sucks.
The rest of the day I parked myself on the couch and
watched football. I just felt like crap
and there wasn’t any getting better. It
had me thinking, if it was allergies, like what my poor dog Chloe has, what
causes it.
This is what I found.
Allergies are a hypersensitivity disorder caused by the immune system
and its reaction to normally harmless substances in the environment. Allergic reaction are an excess activation of
certain white blood cells called mast cells and basophils by a type of antibody
called immunoglobulin E. Responses can range from mildly uncomfortable to
deadly.
Daily Recap:
Matt: 33 minutes jogging
Kelly: TBD
Blog Thought of the Day:
They say that you should “feed a cold” and “starve a fever”
my question is: Why? No one really knows
but it dates back as far as 1574. Some
believe it has to do with old medical wisdom and that it refers to eating herbs
and drinking tonics. Remember that
during that time they still believed that most aliments were caused by the body
creating too much blood or other such nonsense.
I just found that interesting.
