There are parties to attend, relatives to visit, dinners to cook, gifts to buy and wrap \u2013 all within the span of just a few weeks. While these activities serve a greater purpose in celebrating with others, they still can be taxing on the body and mind. One of the primary reasons for this is that it\u2019s more difficult to balance the rigorous holiday schedule with our own, and as a result, our health tends to go on the backburner.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<h4>A study out of the Chartered Institute of Environmental Health found that someone is 100 percent more likely to catch a cold on a plane than in regular daily life.<\/h4>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The consequences of pushing ourselves to \u201cdo it all\u201d during the holidays can become more severe with age. Without taking the proper precautions, seniors can experience everything from mental exhaustion to physical illness. Fortunately, there are steps that they can take to preserve their health and ensure their holiday season is full of comfort and joy.<\/p>\n<h3><strong><u>Tips for Staying Healthy During the Holidays<\/u><\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Dress appropriately<\/strong>: Even if it\u2019s for less than five minutes, having protection against even mild cold temperatures is imperative. Seniors should wear layers of light, warm clothing, along with gloves, scarves, and hats. In extreme cold, seniors should avoid going outside altogether.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Combat germs and the flu<\/strong>: It isn\u2019t just the holiday season; influenza gets the spotlight this time of year as well. To help reduce the risk of getting the flu, seniors should wash their hands frequently throughout the day, with soap and warm water (for at least 20 seconds) and use hand sanitizer while in public. Although the best time to get a flu vaccine is in mid-October, getting one in November and December can still help with risk reduction.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Stay active: <\/strong>If the summer sun inspires us to get out and exert energy, the gray overcast skies and snow do the exact opposite. Keeping a consistent workout schedule can be difficult during the holidays, but dedicating at least 30 minutes to moderate physical activity (with physician approval) can help keep the immune system strong.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Eat wisely: <\/strong>What goes better with good company than good food? There\u2019s always plenty of rich foods and snacks to enjoy at holiday parties. However, seniors \u2013 especially those with existing health conditions \u2013 may want to think twice before overindulging so as not to create or worsen any short-term or long-term health problems. Seniors should opt for healthier options whenever possible, even if it\u2019s just taking from the veggie tray instead of the bowl of chips.<strong><br \/>\n<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Get plenty of rest: <\/strong>With the holiday season representing such a unique opportunity to spend quality time with loved ones, there\u2019s an ever-present temptation to do <em>everything<\/em> and soak up as much of the time as possible. However, it\u2019s just as important that the time that is spent together is quality time, and to that end, seniors should make sure they are well-rested. They should maintain a consistent sleep schedule (allowing for 8 or more hours) and take breaks throughout the day.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Keep the immune system strong before flying<\/strong>: The last thing anyone wants to do before a flight is more prep work. That being said, giving the immune system a little boost before flying can help reduce the risk of illness and exhaustion. In the days leading up to air travel, seniors should do whatever they can do de-stress, even if it\u2019s just practicing meditation or taking soothing baths. This will add extra protection against the plethora of germs from fellow passengers.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center\">Related Article: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.comfortkeepers.ca\/calgary\/blog\/cold-weather-falls-are-avoidable\/\">Cold Weather Falls are Avoidable<\/a><\/h4>\n<h3><strong><u>Comfort Keepers<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> Can Help <\/u><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>At Comfort Keepers<sup>\u00ae<\/sup>, we understand that hope, joy, and purpose are all central to senior wellbeing \u2013 especially during the holiday season.
