Women may be drama queens in their homes but when the man of the house gets sick, they are the worst patients. They even out do their children in terms of complaining and whining.
It is a weekend, and as usual I look forward to exploring the first few weeks of spring out in New York City, but no sooner was I thinking when I saw my hubby in his favorite chair looking very pensive. At first I thought he was mad because of something I did, but when i saw him squirming and saying “aray! aray!” while moving his body, I knew there was something wrong.
I guess the band tour with my son just took its toll on him. Maybe. But then again, you know that your physical body is not as vibrant as it once was. And the confirmation is manifested when you hear about your friend’s parents dying or that your contemporaries children are getting married and having children of their own. Now that is some verification that you are approaching middle age or if not in it .
Recently I have been an advocate for natural remedies when it comes to the regular viruses. Especially now that spring showers of pollen are causing allergies and the bipolar weather of sunshine mixing with wintry chills is the purpose of many fevers and chills. Drinking lots of water, vitamin C from fruits - lemons, oranges and tons of ginger in soups or juices are but just a few of the remedies. But when hubby says it’s not working, he then asks for a quick fix,--an instant gratification of ‘white man’s medicine’ in the form of ibuprofen or acetaminophen tabs.
Our bodies are our temples, and unless we take care of it, it cannot take care of us. Being conscious of our eating habits is a form of control that we can adapt in our everyday lives. I am saddened by the fact that the eastern world (especially where I come from) has been so influenced by the western world. The fast food generation is taking the lives of our children and sooner it will be manifested in their health in the forms of obesity and man made diseases.
Food is the cause of many forms of diseases and unless we re-educate ourselves about what comes into our mouth, food will also be the solution for it.
Okay......so I guess my husband is awake and whining again about the typing noise I’m making...have to go. And if all the white man’s medicine, natural remedies doesn’t work, maybe tons of cuddle will help..now that’s a woman’s medicine for her man!
actually, this is what my hubby tells me all the time! but i beat him to it by writing about it...hahahah!!!!
