So how can we keep our family healthy during this time of year? Here are some tips from my family to yours!:
1. Take a multi vitamin! I have found my daughter's get less cold when I have them taking a children's vitamin than when they don't use them. There are many different forms of vitamins available, like regular pills, chewables, gummy or even a powder supplemetnt.
2. Get a balanced diet. Eating a healthy diet and including fruits and veggies are key to good health. By eating right, you are giving your body the nutrients it needs to fight off illness and keep your immune system up and running!
3. Stay active! This will help you stay healthy not just now but in the long run. Leading an active lifestyle results in fewer serious health issues, especially as you get older!
4. Clean!!!! Be concious of things like germy counters, door handles, etc. Wash down counters daily with a disenfecting spray or wipe to keep germs off food. Wipe down door handles, light switches and other things that are in constant contact with hands to prevent spreading germs.
5. And speaking of hands!! Make sure you and your family are avid hand washers! This is one of the best ways to prevent spreading germs. But it isn't always enough, you should use a hand sanitizer as well that is alcohol based to truly get rid of all those icky germs.
6. Cover your mouth when you cough or sneeze. And do it with your elbow, not your hand. This keeps you

ReplyDeleteMy tip is to NOT schedule too much. Sometimes we get so excited for a trip or vacation that we plan a lot and then it becomes a burden to do it all. So, I say plan just a couple of things and leave plenty of time for those unexpected pleasures ... or simply just taking a breath and relaxing.

Following you via Google Friend Connect under Romapr and my tip for travel is to bring small but entertaining toys for the kids. Plus books, magazines etc. for us adults. This helps keep us stress-free and happy. When I am stressed, I tend to get sick easier so stress-free travel is something I strive for. Thanks!

ReplyDeletei'm following on GFC ("carmen") and my tip for staying healthy on the go is to pack good-for-you snacks that travel well, like trail mix (limit the chocolate!), peanut butter & jelly sandwiches, lightly salted pretzels, plenty of water, apples and bananas. not only will this keep you from having to pull over and buy fast food but it'll also save you $$$ too!
