Stay Healthy during the Holidays

Remember to keep you vitamin C, Zinc and Magnesium levels up during the winter season. In the winter the weather is colder and we tend to be in doors and in closer proximity to each other which makes it easier for germs to spread, thus we have more probability of getting ill. Here are some clues to staying off the Cough medicine and full of action this winter.

1. Wash your hands more often: Through out the days we should be washing our hands 3-4 times. Increase your hand washing to 6-7 times, just to make sure we keep it clean.

2. Reduce Stress: Don't let the pressure of the Holidays increase your Stress. The holiday is a times of reflection fun and thanksgiving. It shouldn't feel like the worst time of the year. Don't worry about gift, in-laws, having the best party in the neighborhood, or any other non-sense. Just enjoy your family and let the season happen. Stay positive.

3.  Stay full of the right things: In the winter it is harder to seek out and find the summer fruits and vegetables we love. However they are out there. You may just have to try new stores. Stay full the vitamins necessary to keep your immune system riding on all cylinders.


Happy Holidays,
