Colder weather is here, and the leaves are changing colors in the throes of autumn. ClaimLinx is ready to celebrate the harvest, Thanksgiving, and upcoming winter holidays. In today’s blog, ClaimLinx discusses autumn wellness tips to keep you and your family healthy as the year comes to a close.
Boost Your Immune System
Fall time means allergies, colds, and flu. Boost your immune system by eating healthier with more fruits and vegetables loaded with vitamins and minerals. Wash your hands more often and carry plenty of hand sanitizer with you to prevent the spread of germs. Since you might wash your hands more often during flu season, invest in a bottle of quality hand lotion for softer skin. Support your immune system by drinking plenty of water and getting seven to eight hours of sleep per night.
Maintain Food Safety
Fall time means Halloween, Thanksgiving, holiday parties, and plenty of delicious food. Maintain food safety practices by cooking food thoroughly and to the correct temperatures, and keep food prep surfaces clean to prevent cross-contamination. ClaimLinx believes food safety is an important part of ensuring healthy and enjoyable family gatherings.
Head Outside
Fall brings gorgeous scenery thanks to beautiful leaves. Entire hillsides sing with red, orange, yellow, and brown hues during autumn. Bring out the warmer clothing before taking a hike, jog, bike ride, or drive to enjoy the signs of the season. Getting more sunlight during the fall increases your vitamin D, which improves your mood and helps your body function properly.
Maintain a Routine
Your routine faces several challenges in the fall months. Kids have sports practice, school recitals, and teacher-parent conferences. Family members might come in from out of town, or you might travel for the holidays. Children also have days off of school for holidays. All of these events could end up disrupting your healthy daily routine.
Maintain your routine by planning for healthy living in advance. Prep meals on the weekends, maintain a regular sleep schedule, find time for fun activities, and get the kids in bed at the right hour every night. Even when Daylight Savings Time ends, you can still keep the same routine despite less sunlight during the day. ClaimLinx expects that a regular routine makes you healthier and more productive in everything you do.
