In Home Care Del Mar- Firstat Nursing Services Publishes Guide “Healthy Habits for the Holidays”

Dec. 20, 2012 - PRLog -- “Holiday time is wondrous and joyful, but it can also be challenging, hectic and stressful,” said Linnea Goodrich, president of Firstat Nursing Services in San Diego, CA.  “With added responsibilities, parties to plan and gifts to buy, it’s easy to become overwhelmed and stressed. In an effort to stay focused on health and fitness and reduce anxiety during the festivities, here are three healthy habits that are sure to make the season just a little brighter for all.”

Make a List and Check it Twice - An easy and convenient way to keep the chaos to a minimum and stay focused during the holidays is to write everything down. Keeping a list makes it possible to follow a plan, stay focused and most importantly-on budget. A healthy habit that can help make the season a little more organized, creating a list and using it to control spending and prioritize activities is smart and just makes sense.

Exercise for Weight Control - It’s often difficult to keep to a health and fitness program during the holidays, particularly when there are parties to attend, dinners to serve and goodies to eat. But it’s the holidays that are to blame for unintended weight gain and the perfect excuse for overeating. Making time for exercise is a healthy habit to adopt and a terrific way to combat seasonal weight gain. Whether it’s an early morning walk, twenty minutes on the treadmill or a quick stroll through the mall, staying active reduces stress, improves sleep and elevates the mood. Remember, short bursts of activity are just as beneficial as a routine visit to the gym and will do wonders for keeping off the pounds.

In Home Care for Peace of Mind - For many seniors, holiday time is challenging because habits are changed and day-to-day activities often become difficult. Hiring an in home care provider for the season gives family members peace of mind that loved ones will receive the quality attention they need and deserve. Help administering medication and lending a hand with daily activities is the perfect way to ensure everyone enjoys the season with the least amount of chaos and stress and a professional, in home caregiver provides peace of mind and security during an otherwise confusing time.
