I really think that going out dancing is one of the best things I can do for myself when getting over a bug. It doesn’t sound like the usual cure, but it seems to work for me. I figure it’s something along these lines:<\/p>\n
First off, I’m not goofy enough to go out when I’m feeling my worst.<\/p>\n
Secondly, I move enough when I dance that it goes a long way to working out the stiffness and soreness in my muscles from that wonderful full-body ache you get when fighting off a bug. Short of having a professional masseuse at my beck and call, dancing seems to be the best way to get rid of that.<\/p>\n
And lastly, the exercise forces me to breathe deeply enough that when I do have to cough, I’m more likely to get a good, from-the-bottom-of-the-lungs cough that actually does some good, rather than just shallow little hacking coughs that just aggravate things.<\/p>\n
Now, keep in mind that I Am Not A Doctor (I just play one in our nation’s hospitals).<\/p>\n
But it seems to work for me.<\/p>\n
