Eat, Digest, Recover and Prevent Infections
No matter your situation, alone, as a couple, with family, with friends or virtually, make the decision to have fun and treat yourself. It is also important to prevent infections. Here are a few recommendations to enjoy a good rest.
1. Get enough sleep, and sleep in the dark. Avoid bright screens for 1 hour before going to bed.
2. Cut coffee down to 1 a day. It irritates the stomach and stimulates mucus secretion.
3. Avoid constipation and keep an eye on your children's regularity.
4. Air out your homes every day. Drink more water; heating increases the need for hydration.
5. Get some fresh air; walking is a complete form of exercise.
