Eating Healthy and Be Active During the Holidays!

With balance and moderation, you can enjoy the holidays the healthy way. Choose fresh fruit as a festive and sweet substitute for candy. Select just one or two of your favorites from the host of tempting foods. Find fun ways to stay active, such as dancing to your favorite holiday music. Be active for at least 2½ hours a week. Help kids and teens be active for at least 1 hour a day. Following holiday celebrations, thoughts often turn to the New Year and getting in shape. The federal 2008 Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans can guide and motivate you to get active. Regular physical activity over months and years produces long-term health benefits and reduces the risk of many diseases. Staying in control of your weight contributes to good health now and as you age. So this holiday season, be aware of what you’re eating and stay physically active.

National Influenza Vaccination Week

National Influenza Vaccination Week is scheduled for December 4th to 10th. This national observance was established to highlight the importance of being vaccinated. It is important that we take special precautions to avoid getting sick because the flu can spread quickly (especially with so many social gatherings during the holiday season). If you haven't received your flu vaccine, take time to get it this week.
