With the start of the new year, you don’t want to get sick! Below, find some tips to help you avoid catching a cold!

1. Wash Your Hands
An obvious tip, make sure you constantly wash your hands. Your phone, keyboard, keys, they all carry germs, and they’re all things you constantly use. If you can’t wash your hands as often as you’d like, then make sure you use hand sanitizer after opening a door or touching a light switch.

2. Keep Your Surroundings Clean
Again, your workplace, kitchen island, and desk are probably not cleaned as often as they should be. Take an antibacterial wipe to their surfaces once in a while to remove any germs that may be contaminating these areas.

3. Sleep, Sleep, Sleep!
We all have a lot on our plates that needs to get done, but please remember that taking care of yourself is always the top priority! Most of us don’t get enough sleep, and we know that—but how many of us actually do something about it? While its near impossible for most of us to get 10 hours of sleep per night, you should be striving for somewhere around 7 at a minimum! Your body needs rest to rejuvenate, stay strong, and fight off and illnesses. When you’re tired, your body doesn’t fight as hard, leaving you prone to sickness. So please, make an effort to ensure that your head hits the pillow for an extra couple of hours in the new year.

4. Work Out!
Staying active is not only a great way to get in shape, but also to keep your body happy and healthy! Going to the gym, doing yoga, or going for a walk are only a handful of the ways that you can be active. Exercise boosts your immune system, so you’re only doing yourself a favor. On a similar note, make sure you hydrate—whether you work out or not! Drinking enough water is also vital to make sure your body doesn’t get run down and dehydrated.

5. Eat Healthy
It’s not always easy to eat as healthy as you want, but make it a point to pay attention to what you eat. Your body needs essential vitamins and minerals to stay in top shape, so that means eating your fruits and veggies. You don’t have to cut out the sweets completely (because moderation is good, right?!) but regulating your food intake will not only be better for you, but it can also make you feel better too.

Tips to Live a Healthy New Year from Fifth Meridian Medical

1. Invest in Yourself Purchase a gym membership, invest in a personal trainer, or start a new diet plan. Whatever suits you, it’s a great way to start off the new year.
2. Schedule Scheduling your appointments early is an easy way to check something off your list, while at the same time making sure you take care of yourself. Don’t forget to schedule your yearly physicals, blood work, dentist check-ups, and eye exams, as well as any other exams you or your physician recommends.
3. Plan ahead Making sure you’re organized and planning ahead is healthy and useful for a number of reasons. If you plan and leave time to get things done, then you’re more likely to be less pressed for time and that leads to less stress. In this newfound free time, feel free to read, relax, do yoga, or whatever else makes you happy.
4. Support group Friends are something you can never have enough of! Whether you share recipes, become each other’s gym buddy, or walk your dogs together, getting out and about with a friendly face is a great way relax both your body and your mind. Plus, meeting somebody new and getting to know them can also lead to lifelong friendships!
5. Slow Down a Bit No matter what you’re doing, or how rushed or stressed you are, just remember that there’s always time to take a breather. The most important thing is your health, physical, mental and emotional, so it’s best to pay careful attention to it. There will always be time in the day for you to stop, breathe deep, and relax. Just remember: it’s your life, so make sure you enjoy it.
