For a Healthy Fall/Winter Season
Enjoy the seasonal produce - apples, squash, cabbage, kale, carrots. There is a lot our region has to offer. Get your flu shot. Wash your hands often - ‘tis the season for germs! Enjoy the outdoors - the cooler temperatures can make it more enjoyable to be active outside. Plan ahead for the holidays - planning will help reduce the stress. Plan an activity after indulging in holiday meals. Stay hydrated - even without the summer heat it is important to drink water. Get enough sleep - aim for 8 hours a night. Be prepared when traveling - keep a shovel, blanket, food, and water in your vehicle. Plan for extra time to reach your destination.
