Making A List….Checking It Twice!
He’s making a list, checking it twice, gonna find out who’s naughty or nice! Santa Claus is coming to town! It’s that time of year again and it’s very hard to believe because it has come so very quickly! Christmas time is here, happiness and cheer, and this is definitely my favorite time of year. Okay enough with the Christmas songs. As I was saying, Santa Claus is coming to town and there is a definite need for you to make a list and check it twice. What list might I be referring to? The Health List! The year is coming to an end which mean that it’s time to do a health check to make sure that you are as healthy as you can be. First, when’s the last time that you went to the doctor to have your yearly physical? Ladies, when is the last time you had your Well Woman exam? If you haven’t done either of these this year, now is the time to get them done. It may be a hassle for you to go to the doctor, but it is well worth the time spent. Next, are you taking your vitamins everyday? You should be taking a daily multi-vitamin if nothing else. You can find these in a variety of places including your local pharmacy or a healthy food store like Vitamin World.
Next, are you eating a healthy diet. Meaning, is your diet full of lean meats, vegetables, fruits, healthy dairy, fiber, water, etc… You really need to check your daily intake of sugars and make sure that you have them under control. Fruits sugars are okay but articifical and white sugar are not. You should also be getting at least 40 minutes of exercise in every day. If you are not, consider getting a membership to a gym like 24 Hour Fitness. Finally, while you are making your list of gifts that you want for Christmas, remember to make a list of the health issues that you need to get resolved as a Christmas present to yourself!
