Cold season is upon us, and it is critical to focus on your health during this time. At Mississippi Baptist Medical Center, we prioritize our health by being especially careful in the winter. Here are five simple tips to ensure your wellbeing this winter.

1. Bundle up! Wear protective layers to prevent hypothermia and frostbite. Even in short ventures such as grabbing the mail.
2. Stay hydrated. The dry air can be deceptive. Make sure you’re drinking plenty of water, even when you might not feel thirsty.
3. Practice good hygiene. Wash your hands frequently to reduce the risks of the cold and flu. Consider getting your annual flu shot.
4. Stay active. Regular exercise boosts your immune system, so find indoor activities that will keep you mobile.
5. Monitor your mental health. Short days, cold weather, and gray skies can affect mood. Stay connected with loved ones and seek support if needed.

Though it is impossible to prevent everything, these five suggestions will certainly help. Mississippi Baptist Medical Center is a designated Level III trauma and burn center. This means patients of all ages in central Mississippi, as well as across the state and beyond, can be treated at Baptist for a wide range of trauma and burns.

January is National Cervical Health Awareness Month, and here are there facts you may not have known about cervical cancer.

• Cervical cancer is frequently diagnosed in women ages 35-44 and the average diagnosis is at age 50.
• Many older women don't realize that they can still develop cervical cancer as they age. More than 20% of cervical cancers are found in women over 65. However, these cancers rarely occur in women who have been getting regular tests to screen for cervical cancer before they were 65.
• Early detection is your best line of defense!

If you notice anything unusual and symptoms continue for two weeks or longer, you may need to see a doctor. Learn more about Dr. Laura Becca Daily, a gynecologic oncologist with Baptist Gynecologic Oncology, who treats all types of gynecologic and cervical cancers. For more information, please call 601-968-3238.

Hunting season is in full swing and that means riding ATV vehicles. According to the Mississippi Department of Health, Mississippians are 3.5 times more likely to die from an all-terrain vehicle (ATV) accident compared to the 2010 national average. Below are some precautions for ATV riders, especially younger ones.

• Be sure to wear the right equipment: Head injuries are the deadliest consequence of ATV accidents. Helmets can reduce the severity of head injuries and save a life. Arms, legs and eyes are also exposed to injury from rocks, trees and other debris, so protect them by wearing gloves, long shirts and pants, and over-the-ankle boots.
• Be sure the ATV is right for the rider: ATVs for adults and children are not the same. For riders under 16, the chance of injury doubles if riding an ATV made for an adult. Follow manufacturer's recommendations for weight and size of the rider, and don't carry passengers unless your ATV is specifically designed to do so.
• Avoid paved roads: Paved roads may seem like a safer choice for ATV riding, particularly for new learners. But ATVs are not designed to make quick turns on pavement and are likely to roll over.
• Be sure to prep before riding: Studies show that formal, hands-on ATV training lowers the risk of injury for adults and children.

Mississippi Baptist Medical Center is a designated Level III trauma and burn center. This means patients of all ages in central Mississippi, as well as across the state and beyond, can be treated at Baptist for a wide range of trauma and burns.
