I have a cold and I can't go out and walk/go to the gym/etc. because I'm sick.

Any suggestions on eating healthy and losing weight while nursing an upper respiratory infection?

I wish I'd known this when my family was young during winter colds and coughs. I am going to try it myself. Share with young parents. Isn't life strange. When we had a lecture on Essential Oils, they told us how the foot soles can absorb oils. Their example: Put garlic on your feet and within 20 minutes you can 'taste' it. Some of us have used Vicks Vaporub for years for everything from chapped lips to sore toes and many body parts in between. But I've never heard of this. And don't laugh, it works 100% of the time although the scientists at the Canada Research council (who discovered it) aren't sure why.
To stop night time coughing in a child (or adult as we found out personally), put Vicks Vaporub generously on the bottom of the feet at bedtime, then cover with socks. Even persistent, heavy, deep coughing will stop in about 5 minutes and stay stopped for many, many hours of relief. Works 100% of the time and is more effective in children than even very strong prescription cough medicines. In addition it is extremely soothing and comforting and they will sleep soundly.
I heard the head of the Canada Research Council describe these findings on the part of their scientists when they were investigating the effectiveness and usage of prescription cough medicines in children as compared to alternative therapies like acupressure. Just happened to tune in AM. Radio and picked up this guy talking about why cough medicines in kids often do more harm than good due to the chemical makeup of these strong drugs so,I listened. It was a surprise finding and found to be more effective than prescribed medicines for children at bedtime, in addition to have a soothing and calming effect on sick children who then went on to sleep soundly
Polly tried it on herself when she had a very deep constant and persistent cough a few weeks ago and it worked 100%! She said that it felt like a warm blanket had enveloped her, coughing stopped in a few minutes and believe me, this was a deep, (incredibly annoying!) every few seconds uncontrollable cough, and she slept cough-free for hours every night that she used it.
If you have grandchildren, pass it on. If you end up sick, try it yourself and you will be absolutely amazed by the effect.

the problem is that last night i bought him soy milk and he did not sleep all night because he didnt drink it, he took one sip and doesnt want it. He hasnt eaten all day today beacuse he doesnt like it, he wants his regular milk. If i get him lactose free milk, will that be ok? or is it something else in the milk that gives him the allergic reaction. thank you.

ive had acne for about over 1 and a half years, i'm 16 and really hate it. im on antibiotics and have been for about a year and yet i feel as though it hardly has done anything in my eyes. its red, covers my cheeks and my chin with the odd bit appearing from time to time on my forehead. i have questioned latley if going on the pill will make it better as it is to do with hormones although diet aswell. i dont actully eat greasy foods such as chips, crisps or drink fizzy drinks, i in my eyes eat healthily like fruits,nuts,vegetables and try always to dirnk water. and yet it doesnt work so i question is it my hormones? can someone tlel me what to do!
