## Healthy Holiday Tips

## Be the pinnacle of health and wellness this holiday season

It goes without saying that keeping yourself and your family healthy through the holiday season in Braselton or Hoschton can be a challenge. When you combine warm days followed by chillier temps, year-end deadlines and pre-holiday preparation - not to mention kids passing around colds at school like they’re playing “Hot Potato” - you can end up spending the holidays in bed.

No matter how many inherent seasonal risk factors you face, there _are_ ways to prepare for and get through the season virtually unscathed. At Cowart Insurance, we wish for you a happy and abundantly healthy holiday season, so here are a few tips to help you stay well and enjoy!

1. **Consider ‘sticking it’ to The Flu.** Flu shots seem to be available at practically every drug store or pharmacy in Buford and Lawrenceville. Discuss with your doctor the pros and cons of flu shots for yourself and your family.
2. **Get some zzz’s.** The holiday hustle and bustle can interfere with normal sleep patterns, yet sleep is essential to health and healing. Prioritize getting enough sleep - or taking a quick nap - despite your busy schedule.
3. **Fill the fridge.** It’s easy to allow your pantry to start looking like a sweet shop as the holidays near. Take care to stock your refrigerator and cabinets with healthy snacks and ingredients for balanced meals. Think fruit, nuts, lower-calorie snacks, veggies and lean proteins.
4. **Get real.** Emotional health is important, too, so be realistic about what can be expected through the season. Just because it’s the holidays doesn’t mean that Aunt Zoe and Uncle Andrew will finally mend their rocky relationship.
5. **Keep moving.** Despite the many holiday temptations to just relax, don’t give in to being a couch potato. Get to the gym or yoga studio, go for a walk in at Dacula or Mulberry Park, jump on the treadmill or dance. The important thing is to just move!

From the Cowart Insurance to you, we wish you a happy and healthy holiday season!
