Holiday Health Tips

Happy Holidays!  We hope everyone is enjoying the season!  Here are some tips to keep you happy and healthy!
1.  Reduce your stress - if all the season's advertising is overwhelming you, silence your phone, turn off your TV and car stereo.  Check your e-mail and phone at only certain times of the day - most of us look at our phone over 50 times a day!  Yikes!
2.  Move your body - go for a walk (without electronics), studies show that just a few minutes in nature can improve the functioning of your immune system!  Remember - nature is all around you!  Find a patch of grass and have a seat, close your eyes and just listen to all the sounds around you. 
3.  Wash your hands - and try not to touch your face.  You get most infections through your nose, eyes and mouth.
4.  Get some sleep - listen to your body; when you need to rest, rest!  Turn off your devices (including TV) two hours before bedtime and try to be in bed asleep before 11:00pm (you can do it!)
