Holidays are the most wonderful time of the year, but they can also get quite hectic. All the stress and the commotion of getting ready for the holidays can wreak havoc on your immune system, so we prepared a brief guide that will help you keep your health in check while enjoying the festivities.
No Overindulgence
Most people go overboard with food and alcohol during the holidays, but it’s important to try and keep a balanced diet. Try to avoid processed foods and eat vitamin-rich fruits, veggies, protein, and whole grains.
Avoid Spreading Germs
The risk of colds and flu is much higher during the holiday season, so it’s important to avoid spreading germs by washing your hands regularly, especially after being in a crowded setting.
Stay on the Move
Most people are less active during colder seasons, but staying on the move can help you keep your immune system in check, so consider exploring some fun winter sports with your friends and family.
Proper Sleep
Sacrificing sleep to make time for all the holiday activities is a common mistake, but it’s important to give your body and mind enough time to rest after all the commotion.
Try To Distress
Managing stress during the holiday season is also crucial. Set realistic goals for yourself, avoid overcommitting, and turn to your personal self-care rituals if things get tough.
