Imagine your body is like a superhero who’s been fighting all day, at work, during traffic, while cooking dinner. When you go on vacation, the hero finally gets to relax. But that means it doesn’t have to keep fighting as hard. So when something small, like a cold or flu virus, comes along, the superhero might not be ready and gets sick.
Examples
- After working long hours, Sarah relaxed on her vacation and got a bad cold.
- Tom went on a tropical getaway but ended up with the flu after sitting next to someone who was sick.
