As the holiday season approaches, the excitement can often lead to our health routines taking a back seat. But maintaining wellness doesn't have to be overwhelming. Small, intentional steps can make a lasting difference, allowing you to enjoy this joyful time to the fullest.

Physical Wellness

 

Stay hydrated and maintain regular meals to keep your energy levels up. Simple movements like short indoor walks or morning stretches can be beneficial. When traveling, packing healthy snacks and maintaining a consistent sleep schedule are key. Try tips like drinking water before coffee to make mornings easier.

Flu Wellness

 

Did you know flu season peaks between December and February? Last year, there were over 47 million illnesses and significant hospitalizations, so prioritizing vaccination is essential. It's not too late to get your flu shot, especially for children, seniors, and those with health concerns.

Mental Wellness

 

The busyness of the season can take a mental toll, with 79% of U.S. adults feeling stressed. Remember, self-care is not selfish. Simple practices like a 10-minute solo walk or journaling can help. Don't be afraid to say "no" to extra commitments to preserve your wellbeing.

Wellness is a wonderful gift you can give yourself and your family this season. Even small changes can lead to big benefits. We wish you a joyful, restful, and healthy holiday season!
