STAYING HEALTHY DURING THE HOLIDAY SEASON
STAYING HEALTHY YEAR ROUND
The year 2021 is coming to an end and a new one will begin in the days to come. So much has happened in 2021. Some of them are good, exciting, wonderful and others are not too good (sad, upsetting, troublesome and unbelievable.) This is a time of year to enjoy, be with loved ones, reflect on the year that is about to close and make plans for the new year. Hopefully being active and leading a healthy lifestyle will be an important plan for the year ahead. Research has shown that by leading a healthy lifestyle you can help reduce your risks for heart disease, cancer, strokes and diabetes. All it takes to increase your chances for a long and healthy life is your decision to take charge of your lifestyle. Here are some of the things you can do.
• Be active – walk; exercise; if possible, take the stairs instead of the elevator.
• Eat lots of fruits, vegetables and whole grains and little or no fatty foods.
• Don’t smoke and limit your alcohol consumption
• Go for annual medical checkup. Take advantage of preventive screenings and immunizations like flu and pneumonia shots.
• Pay attention to your mental health – ongoing sadness, loss of interest, anxiety, feeling overwhelmed, changes in sleep pattern, loss of appetite, excessive crying, irritability and so on. If you experience any of the above-mentioned symptoms, please contact NYC WELL at 1-888-692-9355.
