The holidays are known for taking a toll on our bodies. Between the chilly temperatures, onset of flu season and the overabundance of sweet treats at every turn, it’s easy for physical, emotional, and mental health to fall to the wayside.
As the holidays kick into full gear, it’s important to prioritize your health so you can start 2023 off in health and happiness. Below are our top three tips to help you stay well this Holiday Season.
- Stay current on your exams, screenings and vaccinations. Ask your doctor what exams and vaccinations you need and when to get them.
- Manage stress. Support your mental health through exercises that help relieve anxiety and worry, such as mindfulness, meditation and journaling.
- Eat well and stay active. It’s easy to overindulge during the holidays, but try to limit unhealthy foods as best you can. Eating nutrient-rich foods can help you manage energy levels and boost your mood.
The holidays are a perfect time of year to enjoy time with friends and loved ones. But they are also a great time to celebrate and protect your well-being and improve your health.
