Fever, cough, colds, the flu, why does it feel like everyone is sick right now? Even though we’re holidaying in a post-Covid world, there’s still so much going around that can make staying home seem like the best option. This early rush of winter illnesses can make navigating the holiday season even more complicated. Here are some tips from our expert team that can help you prioritize your wellness and enjoy all the holiday season offers.
Holiday party foods, cocktails, and cookies are all part of what makes December the most wonderful time of the year.
“Even though it’s ok to treat yourself every once in a while, it’s important to focus on proper nutrition every month of the year. Sugar produces the ‘feel good’ neurotransmitters that temporarily boost our energy levels and enhance our mood,” said Carmela Zaragoza, PMHNP at bonmente. “Refined sugar can cause brain inflammation, cognitive decline, and a number of other health problems.”
Shorter days, increased periods of darkness, and cooler temperatures can zap motivation. Instead of getting overwhelmed by starting a new workout plan, focus on quick, manageable goals that get you moving. For example, go for a walk on your lunch break or practice yoga before bed. Find ways to incorporate movement into your day to benefit your mental and physical health.
