Another important thing is to make sure you are getting adequate nutrition. Whole foods with lots of nutrients. Viruses enter healthy cells, take over the machinery to replicate themselves, and then blow up the cell to release more viruses. You have to fuel your immune system and metabolism to replace all of the dead cells lost in the battle. I usually exercise if I just feel a little puny. If I have a fever or am totally wiped out, I just rest. I might have to tone down the intensity a bit, and I make sure to try not to cough/sneeze in the air or on stuff, just out of courtesy to other gym members. Remember, your metabolism is increased slightly when you are sick, so you will be just fine if you stay on track. Feel better!
