If you want to stay on Santa’s good list, remain in your spouse’s or family’s good graces, or just want to keep out of a holiday emergency room, these holiday tips may help! Just a few simple adjustments to your routine and thinking might make your Christmas brighter and less painful.
- If you are facing balance problems or instability, make sure that you don’t risk falling by carrying food or drink, or trying to navigate a crowded line at the Christmas buffet.
- Arrange furniture in a pattern that is comfortable and won’t block you in or cause tripping.
- Wear comfortable shoes over the design that fit your feet and provide stability.
- Schedules during the holidays can throw our timing and medicine regimen off, with various events that may pop up. Try to use a reminder app or timer to keep a consistent flow of your medicine.
- Drink your water and stay hydrated!
- Watch your alcohol intake and eat a balanced diet.
- Avoid too many late-night parties or staying up for Santa! Get your rest and don’t lose opportunities to get exercise. Do not overdo it.
- The holidays are about friends and family, don’t stress about gifts given or gotten. Watch and maintain your stress!
- Maintain your medicine supply so you don’t run low or out. Stock up so you don’t have to live in the pharmacy.
- Practice gratitude and give thanks for what you have.
We hope these holiday tips are helpful and contribute to a healthier holiday season for you and your family.
