Seasonal Health Tips to Keep You Safe and Healthy

As seasons change, so do health risks. Here are essential tips to maintain your well-being during the colder months:

1. Protect Against Respiratory Illnesses

With flu, RSV (Respiratory Syncytial Virus), and other respiratory conditions on the rise, taking preventive measures is crucial:

• Get Vaccinated: Flu and updated RSV vaccines can reduce the severity of illness.
• Hygiene First: Wash hands frequently and avoid touching your face to minimize germ exposure.
• Mask Up in Crowded Spaces: Masks help protect against airborne illnesses, especially in high-risk environments​

2. Stay Warm and Dry

Exposure to cold weather can lead to conditions like hypothermia and frostbite.

• Layer Clothing: Wear breathable, moisture-wicking layers.
• Protect Extremities: Use gloves, hats, and warm socks to maintain body temperature.

3. Manage Seasonal Depression

Shorter daylight hours can lead to Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD).

• Light Therapy: Use lightboxes or spend time outdoors during daylight.
• Stay Active: Regular physical activity boosts mood and energy levels.

4. Prevent Stomach Flu and Norovirus

Highly contagious during the colder months, norovirus can cause gastroenteritis.

• Disinfect Surfaces: Clean frequently touched surfaces with a strong disinfectant.
• Practice Safe Food Handling: Wash hands thoroughly when preparing meals

5. Maintain Skin Health

Cold weather can lead to dry, cracked skin.

• Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water to keep your skin hydrated from within.
• Moisturize Daily: Use thick, fragrance-free moisturizers to lock in moisture.

6. Eat Seasonal and Nutritious Foods

Boost your immunity with seasonal fruits and vegetables rich in vitamins and minerals:

• Citrus Fruits: High in Vitamin C, they strengthen the immune system.
