A guide for health and well-being for you and your family. A Doctor’s Tips to Stay Healthy During Holiday Travel
Dr. Pescatore is sharing a few tips to help boost health for this season’s holiday travel.
Feed Your Immune System Cold and flu season ramps up just in time for the holidays, which means you may be more at risk of catching a bug. “Take precautions before boarding your flight -- wash your hands frequently, bring hand sanitizer with you and snack on antioxidant-packed vegetables like broccoli, carrots and sweet potatoes to keep your immune system “Air travel, long drives, less sleep strong,” says Dr. Pescatore. and added stress can weaken your immune system at a time Fend off Fatigue when you’re around more people The American Sleep Association and susceptible to illness,” says estimates that nearly 93 percent of nationally renowned natural health travelers experience jet lag and it physician and best-selling author, can be severe enough to interfere Dr. Fred Pescatore. with holiday and vacation plans. (StatePoint) More than 100 million Americans will travel this holiday season, according to AAA estimates. Holiday travel can seem daunting, between flight delays and bumper-to-bumper traffic. What’s more, it has potential health impacts, including leg swelling and increased risk for cold and flu.
“Sleep disturbances make you feel tired, nauseous and irritable -- not a good combination with holiday activities,” says Dr. Pescatore.
A peer-reviewed study shows that daily supplementation with the super-antioxidant, Pycnogenol (Pic-noj-en-all), reduces jet lag symptoms by nearly 50 percent. “Pycnogenol, a natural botanical

with a more moisturizing and therapeutic Calendula-based cream. The Calendula officinalis plant, or Garden marigold, has been used topically for generations to heal skin irritations. “A Calendula cream can provide an all-in-one solution to soothe many everyday skin problems,” says Dr. Madhère. She recommends a line from Boiron, an 80-year old French pharmaceutical company specializing in homeopathic medicines, which includes a cream and a heavier ointment. Calendula Ointment protects and heals rougher patches such as elbows and cracked heels, chapped lips and nasal skin irritations from colds. Both the cream and ointment are free of fragrances, dyes and parabens. To learn more, visit boironcalendula. com.
• Stay Active. Increased blood flow during exercise helps nourish skin cells. Sweating also helps flush toxins, helping skin look more radiant. Stay motivated by joining a gym or learning a winter sport. Just be sure to change out of clothes wet from snow or sweat to avoid itching, inflammation and cracking. Although nothing can replace exercise, massages can significantly help circulation, too. • Don’t Sweat the Small Stuff. If you’re relaxed and happy on the inside, it will show on the outside. Manage stress this season with activities such as yoga, pilates and meditation. For more beauty tips, visit Dr. Madhère’s website, TheNewAesthete.com. With some extra care in winter, you can enjoy beautiful, healthylooking skin year-round.

Acoustic Show WEBSTER - Singer/guitar player Cameron Sutphin will perform a solo acoustic show on Saturday, December 30, 2pm to 4pm at Booklovers’ Gourmet, 55 East Main Street, Webster. Call 508-949-6232. Donations will be accepted and CDs will be for sale. Cameron is originally from CT and currently resides in Nashville, TN. Like Woody Guthrie and Pete Seeger before him, Cameron Sutphin has been traveling around the United States performing classic country and folk music wherever he stops, as a solo acoustic artist. With his newly released Nashville recorded EP, Heartbreak Town, Cameron takes his songwriting and performance to a whole new level, this being his first full band and studio album. Transcending the genre of folk Americana, Cameron’s music echoes inspiration from singer/songwriters like Bob Dylan, Leonard Cohen and Neil Young – combining simple melodies and a lyrical intensity, while establishing a unique sound of his own.

Travel gifts for the holiday season Vacations create memories that last a lifetime. But across North America, surveys indicate that fewer people are cashing in on all of their vacation days. Some may be too busy to travel as much as they would like, while others might not be able to afford to travel. A gift of travel removes much of the expense of traveling and can serve as a catalyst one needs to go and explore. Escaping to warm climates can be just what the doctor ordered when winter weather sets in at home. Although that first snowfall can make for a picturesque holiday season, there’s a good chance that after several storms and navigating icy roads, a getaway to sunshine and sand can help beat winter blues. When gifting travel this year, consider these great places to travel in January and February.

Hello there! My name is Crystal. Do you think that is a pretty name? I am 16 years young and a cute Princess! Because I am so quiet and small, many times I am overlooked. Did I tell you how cute and cuddly I am? All I need is a quiet home with a warm lap to cuddle up in on these cold winter days, with an occasional scratch behind my ears and under my chin, and I would be in Heaven, with my quiet purr it will be nappy time for us. Another reason I am so small is that I have a condition called hyperthyroidism, easily managed. While you are scratching me behind my ears, all you have to do is put some ointment on the inner flap of my ear and I am good to go. When we wake up from our nap, we can then go fishing with my pole. Would you like to go fishing with me? Come meet me and we will. The CCC is in need of supplies, especially litter (Scoop Away), bleach, laundry detergent, dry and wet cat and kitten food (Purina/Friskies), paper towels, trash bags, and treats! Any help is very much appreciated! We are located at 289 Thompson Road in Webster and are open Thursday through Sunday 12pm-3:30pm. You can see more of our adoptable cats on Petfinder and Adopt-a-pet and we would love it if you would follow us and share our kitties on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com /pages/Community-Cat Connection/18375625177438. Please email us at info@ccatconnect.org for any questions!
