Be the pinnacle of
health and wellness this holiday season
It
goes without saying that keeping yourself and your family healthy through the
holiday season in Wisconsin can be a challenge. When you combine chillier temps,
housebound days, year-end deadlines and pre-holiday preparation - not to
mention kids passing around colds at school like they’re playing “Hot Potato” -
you can end up spending the holidays under the covers.
No
matter how many inherent seasonal risk factors you face, there are ways to prepare for and get through
the season virtually unscathed. At Mower Insurance, we wish for you a happy and
abundantly healthy holiday season, so here are a few tips to help you stay well
and enjoy!
Consider
‘sticking it’ to The Flu. Flu shots seem to be available
at practically every drug store or pharmacy in Eau Claire and Chippewa
Falls. Discuss with your doctor the pros
and cons of flu shots for yourself and your family.
Get
some zzz’s. The holiday hustle and bustle can
interfere with normal sleep patterns, yet sleep is essential to health and
healing. Prioritize getting enough sleep - or taking a quick nap - despite your
busy schedule.
Fill the fridge. It’s easy to allow your
pantry to start looking like a sweet shop as the holidays near. Take care to
stock your refrigerator and cabinets with healthy snacks and ingredients for
balanced meals. Think fruit, nuts, lower-calorie snacks, veggies and lean
proteins.
Get
real. Emotional health is important, too,
so be realistic about what can be expected through the season. Just because
it’s the holidays doesn’t mean that Aunt Zoe and Uncle Andrew from Minnesota will
finally mend their rocky relationship.
Keep
moving. Despite
the many holiday temptations to just relax, don’t give in to being a couch
potato. Get to the gym or yoga studio, go for a walk in Chippewa, jump on the
treadmill or dance. The important thing is to just move!
From
the Mower Insurance Agency to you, we wish you a happy and healthy holiday
season!
