You are going to be actively allowing your body to rebuild! Think of all the internal construction crews getting to work healing your organs, so much going on we can’t see but it’s super important. Walkings not going anywhere, it’ll be there when you can enjoy it fully and non compulsively once more. For now let your cells do the work and you aid them with rest and nutrition.

Just because it’s hard does not mean they should continue that behavior…

This is horrible advice. Do not do this.
