Hectic Holidays Bring Health Hazards

The hectic holiday season is here and along with it comes stress from travel, overeating, overdrinking and the obvious financial pressures. Cold temperatures can increase blood pressure and make blood more likely to form artery-blocking clots. Coughs, colds and flu are more common in winter. Holiday stress can cause chest pain and trigger heart attacks. Eating too much or too fast, drinking too much, gaining weight and too much salt can all harm your health. Travel can boost stress levels; can cause lapses in medication schedules and delays in seeking care.

Skip alcohol because it is a depressant. Laugh aloud to relax muscles and boost circulation. Don't create a financial burden on yourself. Remember what's important such as family, friends and beliefs.

The demands of the season are upon us and all the socializing, shopping, decorating and feasting can turn this time of the year into a stress fest that can adversely affect your health.

TRY TO PLAN AHEAD and make those travel plans early; this will help decrease anxiety.

SCALE DOWN your expectations.

MANAGE YOUR TIME, so that you have extra time in case of last minute changes.

TRY TO RELAX. Deep breathing exercises will help.

EXERCISE. If you have a routine try to maintain it through the holidays.

DOCTOR'S MINUTE. "Depression and overindulgence are two more factors of poor health during the holidays. A healthy balance in diet, exercise and attitude are of utmost importance during this season." -- Dr. Ronald Lubetsky M.D.

We here at ER Urgent Care hope these tips will make your holiday season happier and healthier.
