Staying Healthy During the Holiday Season

/in /by

This time of year is very busy for most people, preparing for the holidays. More shopping, cooking, entertaining, and planning, though enjoyable, adds more stress to our schedules.

We all want to enjoy the holidays. Here are some tips that can make life easier.

  • Plan ahead, give yourself plenty of time to prepare for parties and entertaining.
  • Get plenty of sleep.
  • Create relaxing surroundings.
  • Plan spending.
  • Drink at least 16-32 oz. of water a day.
  • If you feel a little under the weather, try taking organic oil of oregano drops in a glass of water. I usually use 3 drops in 8 oz of water. It has helped me get rid of a sore throat. There is also a nasal spray with oil of oregano ( Xlear Rescue) that can protect you when traveling or during flu season. Oil of oregano is antiviral and antifungal.
  • Increase supplements such as zinc, vitamin C, and D.
  • Keep plans simple and be realistic.
