Sometimes the best thing you can do to your body as a Sickle Cell Warrior isn't a pill,a doctor's visit or even a green smoothie (which you love most ๐๐ฅฌ)
It's REST.Simple glorious ,guilt-free rest!๐โจ.
Living with Sickle Cell means your body is constantly working overtime.๐ฉธ Those red blood cells are already on a tough journey,so giving your body time to recharge is like sending it on a mini vacation -without the packing or the
airport stress๐
Rest is important because;
~It reduces pain episodes, when you're tired, your body is more prone to stress which triggers crisis.
~It strengthens your immune system;sleep helps fight infections that can make Sickle Cell symptoms worse.
~It boosts energy because feeling like a superhero starts with feeling human first!๐ง.
~It supports Mental Health because Rest isn't just for the body- yourind needs it too๐ง ๐.
Tonight if anyone calls you lazy ,tell them you're not sleeping-You're on advanced Sickle Cell Management!๐โจ
Go ahead,grab your pillow,put your phone on silent and let your body beal itself,one nap at a time๐๐ค.
