HEALTH FOR THE HOLIDAY SEASON
Here are some health tips for the Christmas Season:

1. Plan Christmas activities for yourself and your family to prevent tension and stress.

2. Take care of yourself and your family against changes in temperature. Children and adults may become susceptible to cough, colds and fever. If your cough, colds and fever is more than five days, consult your nearest health station.

3. Prepare a well-balanced Noche Buena and Media Noche meals. Make sure that vegetable and fruits are on the table together with your traditional ham and queso de bola.

4. Be kind to your heart. Eat a moderate amount of nutritious foods to sustain your daily activities.

5. Drink plenty of liquids. Drink plenty of water and fruit juices to facilitate excretion.

6. Have enough sleep. Give yourself enough sleep so that the mind and body can rest.

7. Avoid crowded areas because bacteria that cause diseases multiply and spread easily. Airy and well- ventilated areas are essential to healthy living.

8. Use environment-friendly Christmas decors that cost less and are not fire hazards. Save decors for next year and store them in a safe place.

9. Buy toys with no pointed or sharp edges; nor too small toys that can cause choking.

10. Do not use fireworks and firecrackers during the Holidays. Make some noise even without fireworks and firecrackers.

Stay alive and whole for the coming year.

HOPE AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL

RJ, a 23-year-old from Davao City, began a difficult path when he knew that he was positive for HIV. Overwhelmed with mixed emotions, he blamed himself for his carelessness and felt a profound sense of loneliness. Filled with despair, RJ turned to social media, hoping to find solace and support.

Through Twitter, RJ had met our compassionate volunteer who emphasized the significance of joining a support group. Sensing RJ's need for connection and understanding, our volunteer encouraged him to seek out a support group specifically tailored for individuals living with HIV. Despite his reservations and fears, RJ decided to take a leap of faith and joined the group.

Surrounded by people who share similar experiences and understand the challenges of living with HIV, RJ discovered a new home—a place where he no longer felt judged or alone. The interactions with other people living with HIV and the dedicated volunteers of SALT provided RJ with a newfound sense of hope and empowerment.

SALT played a pivotal role in RJ's transformation. Their selfless dedication and guidance empowered him to take care of his health and well-being. He felt that he was not alone in his journey and realized that there were others who faced similar challenges and triumphed over them.

RJ's story serves as a powerful reminder that no one should face the hurdles of living with HIV alone. Through the power of connection, understanding, and support, individuals like RJ can overcome the challenges associated with their diagnosis and find solace in the company of others who share their journey.

RJ's experience highlights the importance of community and the transformative impact of support groups. By connecting with others who have walked the same path, individuals living with HIV can find comfort, strength, and inspiration.
