Heat heals



Heat heals, not to much heat, but the right amount of heat, heat kills bacteria, and I found this out kind of on accident.

I think maybe I had the stomach flu, something, I don't know, it's just like stomach kept gurgling, it just didn't feel right, even a slight bloating sensation, but no pain, hard to explain.

But I could tell it was bacterial orientated by kind of getting that 'cold' sensation in nasal, eyes, the usual signs of a cold, more mucus build up, you know, the normal way body tries to rid itself of invasive bacteria.

Well nothing was working, I even could not so much as take a sip of beer, instant reaction from body, which told me, or now tells me, bodies defense totally wrapped up in fighting off whatever it was fighting off and didn't have time to was cell soldiers on beer.

That aside and long story short, I finally, this morning, laid under a large pile of 'stuff', hard to explain, stuff pressed against my abdomen, stomach, which had been acting up, well as a result stomach area become really warm, almost hot, and then I notice that gurgle, ect, went away.

And then I realized 'Ye, that's right, bacteria don't like excessive heat.

In fact, I've heard it said a few years ago that that's why people get fevers, the body raises the temperature to kill whatever 'cold virus' is in the body, heat kills bacteria, that I guess have low tolerance for heat variance.

I heard, in that same discussion that the mistake many make is as soon as they see someone has a fever, they immediately try to lower the tempurature and I hear that's a big mistake, cause by lowering the tempurature to soon, than all that does is allow the invasive bacteria to live.

Do people die from fevers?, not really sure now that I consider the above, not sure if they're dying from the fever or from the cold virus and bacteria that's making them sick, all the fever is is the bodies reaction to the virus of fever being inside the person, and thus body raises the tempurature to try to kill the invading microbes.

=========================================================

Yes there's heat pads, but that's for muscles, but I wonder if there's specifically heat pads designed to deal with bacterial or virus infections?

I do know there's AVR virus killing lights..



But I think more designed to kill or disinfect surface areas in hospitals, Motels ect.

But not sure if there's one specifically designed for the body.

Anyways, I could write all day about this so better stop now, if at University could just request a $100,000 grant to study this further, but since not at a University, this idea won't go anywhere, but maybe someone will read it who is at a University and further study what was written how about how heat actually cures a person of the flu, by killing the virus that gives you the flu.

Just got back from doing more laps around park again, on way back from corner store just figured why not do a few laps.

I don't jog more than 20 feet at a time, but do 'fast walk', not in good enough shape to be able to jog more than about half the length of the field (I know joggers are laughing right now)



But I know my limits, and since not a professional athlete I can't risk injury, I mean no need to 'destroy body' during one workout, to prove what?

No, jogging is a hard activity, especially as one ages, and shouldn't be taken lightly, but I'm getting there bit by bit, again.

If you saw my frame, you'd be like 'You can't jog very long?', and sure, I may look thin, but I'm tall, and as such knees have to support a lot of weight with each stride, and if muscles aren't toned, a bit more weight isn't loss, than while jogging, could pull a muscle or something worse.

I'm in no rush, the main thing was for me to stop drinking so much, that was the main battle, which I doubt will ever completely be won, but do have it under control for now.

When I jog, I shouldn't feel any strain on any part of my body, I should feel almost weightless, that's when I'll know I'm back in jogging shape, cause been there before, and when use to be in jogging shape, I couldn't even feel my joints, and felt very light, springy type of light, playful type of light footed, bouncy, springy and all, I'm not there yet, and good circulation helps achieve that, when blood, which carries oxygen, is able to flow fully and completely to all body parts, including the brain.

So ye, I need a few more months of current exercising before there again.

I mainly can't wait for the 'face fat' to subside, I want that skinny face look again, it makes you look so much younger.

Sometimes I just think we all need to apologize to our bodies due to how poorly we treat our own bodies so often.

I need to give my body like a seperate name, a name of it's own, cause my soul and my body are like two different entities as far as I'm concerned..

Went to bed feeling sickly type of exhausted.

Before bed though, took some powdered vitamin C, mixed in with blendid fruit in blender, ate some almonds, and now this morning feel better.

Sometimes I eat worst, no all the time I eat worst, when on the job.

Cause when on the job and go to corner stores, like 'Gate', you know, gas station stores, and if they have a deli, and all that 'morning food' stuff that makes ya fat, I often give in and buy it cause it's just 'there' in your face, then add chips, and other man made food, and well you get the point.

There's so many ways to get sick, so many ways to invite stuff into our bodies that shouldn't be there.

But as long as in decent general health, it's usually nothing a good deep nights sleep can't fix.

Good sleep is vital to good or decent health, is why I no longer take jobs that either intrude in on my sleep time or have me getting up at awkward time that interfiers with bodies recovery.

The body recovers while asleep.

And at least with me, it's usually between 3-5 am where deepest sleep takes place, so any job that disturbs me between those times is a no no.

I will not let any job rob me of my health for some measly small pay check.

I may buy something like this soon and just have it like a wand over my body from time to time or when feeling ill.

I haven't eaten one single large or even small meal today, yet I still feel full.

Bodies going through some odd changes as of late, hopefully for the better, we shall see.
