Fall Health Tips
Pat Baird, a re gistered dietician, has all the health tips to keep you on the straight and narrow as you head into the holiday season.
Her top three tips:
1. Get a flu shot
- Anyone over the age of 6 months is recommended to get a flu shot.
2. Avoid added sugar
- Add fresh fruit to plain yogurt instead of eating fruit-flavored yogurt.
- Try guacamole with sliced zucchini or hard boiled eggs instead of chips.
- Put a Bumble Bee Chicken Salad in your bag for a healthy snack on the go.
- To satisfy your sweet tooth, grab some Atkins Protein Wafer Crisps!
3. Get adequate sleep
- Sleep deprivation can make you more vulnerable to illnesses – especially the flu.
- Make sure kids are getting the proper amount of sleep, too, so their immune system stays strong.
