There is nothing worse for your immune system than processed sugar. If you are ill, avoid it at all cost.
Processed sugar increases inflammation in your body and has a negative effect on your immune system.  This response may only be temporary (after eating lots of sugar) but still, if you want a quick recovery, avoid refined sugar and focus on eating healthy, wholesome foods instead.
You may not have a big appetite during a cold, but when you take time to eat, make sure you choose nutrient-rich foods full of vitamins and minerals. If you live with somebody, ask them to make you a nutritious soup and a mixed salad. Chicken soup is well known to help with a cold and remember to eat as many zinc-rich foods as you can. Skip the dessert.
We get a cold when our immune system weakens and is unable to fight off various viruses. That often happens when we are overworked and haven’t had a good night’s sleep in a while. Although stress is also a contributing factor (and a bad diet).
One of the best things to do when you have a cold is to get some good sleep and rest. Try and have an early night and make sure you are off work to give your body a chance to recover.
When your body is rested, your immune system will be stronger and will be better at fighting off any viruses.
So these are the things to try if you want to get rid of a cold fast. For me, the quickest way to get rid of a cold is by supplementing with Bee Prepared capsules and drinking lots of herbal teas. I also try some other things mentioned in this post but I am not keen on eating lots of garlic!
What do you do when you get a cold? How long does it take you to recover? Can you get rid of your cold as fast as I can?

I know that you're a painter and that you've had a successful online shop for a few years. Can you fill us in on your background as an artist and tell us a little about yourself?
First let me say, hello Victoria, hello AGTeam and blog visitors! It's an honor to be participating in this interview with you and I'm a huge fan of your work.
Making art has always been in the cards for me and it was clear when I was just a young child. I studied painting at the University of New Hampshire and the University of California Santa Cruz (graduated in 1999) and I've been selling my work online since 2005.
It appears that most of your work is vividly colorful abstracts, some derived from the landscape, but you also have a highly geometric focus. What is the context of your work? Do you have any set ideologies as a painter (formalist, expressionist, etc)?
My only real goal with painting is to be true to myself and to be free to explore new directions and voices. These voices all vary, and you can see that reflected in my work, but I think they all come together and interact with one another in a way that makes sense to me.
Who are some of your influences, whether they're painters, sculptors, musicians, poets or 'none of the above'?
I love the Abstract Expressionist movement as well as the Fauvist painters. Some contemporary painters that I admire include team members Mary Ann Wakeley and Kendra Zvonik and you, Victoria. I also love Elis Cooke, Martha Marshall, Meghan Henley, Jean Hutter and Aisyah Ang - all of whom are also on Etsy. Truly I could go all day listing names, this is just a sampling.
Do you work spontaneously or is there a set time that you devote to the paintings on a daily/weekly basis?
I have mixed luck planning to paint. Most of the time it happens spontaneously and once it has begun it dominates my life and takes over for a four to five day long ongoing session. Then I come up for air, reconnect with the world and wait for the next cycle to begin.
How do you stay current, or is that important to you. Do you visit galleries and museums on a regular basis, or travel to view art and cultural events?
Because I'm in such a rural area and I tend to be a bit of a hermit/homebody, the internet is my primary portal into the world of current art. It's also the season. Once Spring comes, I'm more apt to hop on a train to NYC or drive up to Boston for a day in the city, appreciating art and culture. The end of winter is rather gloomy here in New England.
Some artists suggest that the studio is too private for them, that they require a social forum for their work. Does networking with other artists and developing community have much bearing on your life as an artist and if so, how does it inform your work and process?
I need to work in a private space. I have a studio in my backyard that I work in and it gives me such joy to be surrounded by the peace of nature. Connections to other artists, many of whom are online, keep me grounded and connected to a larger sense of community.
Exhibiting in galleries and museums - are you involved in showing your work in brick and mortar galleries?
I have in the past and would like to focus more attention on gallery exposure in the future. The last year or so I've slowed down with shows and focused more on my online business but I feel like that isn't enough for me anymore. I need to get more work out there in the flesh.
Any long term goals for your painting or art?
I'd like to remain flexible and open to new ideas and techniques and keep challenging myself. I'd like to keep pushing the scale working on larger and more ambitious paintings. I'd like to return to the figure just to see what my take is on it now after working abstractly for the last ten years. I'd like to create a large scale series for a gallery exhibit and make that a reality. The most basic goal I have though, is to just keep painting for as long as I am able.
Anything else you'd like to add?
It's been a pleasure. Thank you Victoria and thank you to the Artisans Gallery Team!

Many thanks to Victoria for giving me thought provoking questions and thank you Jill for including it on the blog! You can ready my long winded version of the interview on Victoria's blog (oh how I can go on and
