It\u2019s almost like it\u2019s happening to someone else and I get to watch it.\u00a0 The generic Benadryl (diphenhydramine) and Mucinex (guaifenesin) totally take the sniffles and cough away and catching up on sleep is awesome.\u00a0 In June 2010 I wrote\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/?p=9401\">What I do when I forget what I know<\/a>\u00a0that I was five days into a giant head cold before I remembered what to take for it.\u00a0 I lucked out this time.\u00a0 I remembered and looked for my blog post about it and sure enough, same symptoms.\u00a0 I caught it on the first day, and upped my vitamin C and D3.\u00a0 I know one reason that colds don\u2019t knock me down anymore is that my eating habits have changed.\u00a0 Bread was my final frontier, the final starchy, processed food\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/goddessgrub.com\/\">I stopped eating daily<\/a>.\u00a0 Now I have the occasional bread, pasta, rice crackers or canned soup maybe 2-3 times a month.\u00a0 Otherwise nothing from a box or package. Mostly I eat vegetables, potatoes, chicken, fish or turkey.\u00a0 I am convinced that the processed foods clog up the digestive system so it cannot do an efficient job of taking nutrients in from what I eat.\u00a0 So when I eat lighter, if a head cold comes up, it has a cleaner system to move through so will be over with much quicker.\u00a0 So far, so good.<\/p>\n<p>RELATED:\u00a0\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/goddessgrub.com\/\">Goddess Grub, My Healthy Eating Website<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div id=\"s-share-buttons\" class=\"horizontal-w-c-circular s-share-w-c\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer.php?u=https:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/i-caught-my-cold-just-in-time-healthy-eating-helped\/\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Share to Facebook\" class=\"s3-facebook hint--top\"><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?text=I caught my cold just in time, healthy eating helped&url=https:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/i-caught-my-cold-just-in-time-healthy-eating-helped\/\" target=\"_blank\"  title=\"Share to Twitter\" class=\"s3-twitter hint--top\"><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/plus.google.com\/share?url=https:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/i-caught-my-cold-just-in-time-healthy-eating-helped\/\" target=\"_blank\"  title=\"Share to Google Plus\" class=\"s3-google-plus hint--top\"><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/shareArticle?mini=true&url=https:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/i-caught-my-cold-just-in-time-healthy-eating-helped\/\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Share to LinkedIn\" class=\"s3-linkedin hint--top\"><\/a><div class=\"pinit-btn-div\"><a href=\"\/\/www.pinterest.com\/pin\/create\/button\/\" data-pin-do=\"buttonBookmark\"  data-pin-color=\"red\" title=\"Share to Pinterest\" class=\"s3-pinterest hint--top\"><\/a><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<script type=\"text\/javascript\" async defer src=\"\/\/assets.pinterest.com\/js\/pinit.js\"><\/script><a href=\"mailto:?Subject=I%20caught%20my%20cold%20just%20in%20time,%20healthy%20eating%20helped&Body=Here%20is%20the%20link%20to%20the%20article:%20https:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/i-caught-my-cold-just-in-time-healthy-eating-helped\/\" title=\"Email this article\" class=\"s3-email hint--top\"><\/a><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It\u2019s midnight and I just came in from outside, where I sat watching that beautiful full moon drift across the sky.\u00a0 It\u2019s almost directly overhead right now.\u00a0 I love following the cycles of the moon, it reminds me everything is a cycle and there is order to the Universe.\u00a0 Although I\u2019ve had a cold the [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-40760","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/40760","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=40760"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/40760\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":40761,"href":"https:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/40760\/revisions\/40761"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=40760"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=40760"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=40760"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
