If there were ever a year to emphasize health over the holidays, 2020 is it! While we are dealing with a pandemic locally and the world over, it is still flu season in Canada. This also tends to be a time of increased busyness, change of routine and cooler weather. These factors can sometimes result in you not being at your best health. Here are some tips to prevent getting sick and reminders for the holiday season.
Tips to avoid getting sick
Fortunately, many of the actions to avoid getting sick with the flu also help to prevent getting Covid-19, and vice versa. To avoid getting sick this season, keep these tips in mind:
-
去打流感疫苗，現在還不晚！
-
勤洗手，以最大程度地減少病菌傳播。.
-
充足的睡眠有助於免疫系統發揮最佳功能。.
-
喝足夠的水，以補充因空氣乾燥和其他冬季活動而流失的水分。.
-
在您不在「個人社交圈」外時，請戴口罩，特別是當您與他人距離在 2 公尺以內，或身處通風不良的室內時。.
-
避免觸摸臉部.
-
盡可能在您外出辦事或預約時，與他人保持至少 2 公尺的距離。大多數地方在排隊等候時都已經有指標標示，但請您在外出時也盡量記住這一點。.
-
Get enough exercise. Even if it’s cold out or going to the gym might be restricted, you can still get some exercise at home. Walk around, do stairs, lift books or canned goods as weights, jump rope, dance like no one is looking – there are many creative and fun ways to get moving around the house!
節日提醒
忙碌、忙碌、忙碌！假期往往伴隨著我們日常生活的改變。以下是一些提醒，幫助您保持健康：
-
請遵照醫囑服藥，盡量不要漏服。.
-
在節日來臨前領取您的處方藥物補充。確保您有足夠的藥物度過節日，以免用完而匆忙補充。.
-
Stay hydrated.
-
請諮詢您的藥劑師，了解治療感冒或流感症狀的非處方藥。他們可以推薦無糖的選擇，並確保產品不會與您的其他藥物相互作用，或加劇任何現有的健康狀況。.
-
如果您在新的一年裡制定健康決心，請考慮讓您的藥劑師進行藥物評估，以便他們可以篩查藥物相互作用，解決您的用藥問題和疑慮，預防副作用，檢查藥物療效，並幫助您從治療中獲得最大益處。.
