We know… it’s cold outside. Utah has suffered below average temperatures and a terrible spell of inversions this winter. How can you stay mentally and physically fit for the next several months?
Dorothy Foltz-Gray of Parents.com has a few suggestions to help you and your family stay well until springtime.
- 2. Stay Hydrated
3. Change Your Toothbrush
“Use a new toothbrush after you’ve had a cold, the flu, a mouth infection, pr sore throat,” said Jeff Golub-Evans, director of the New York Center for Cosmetic Dentistry in New York City. According to Golub-Evans, germs that hide in your toothbrush can cause re-infection in the future.
4. Stay Active
You may not be able to make it to the gym five nights a week, but take advantage of seasonal exercises to stay in shape. Some doctors suggest simple winter chores will help you burn those winter calories. Shoveling the snow and raking the leaves are some of the outdoor activities that will help you to stay active. Another suggestion is to watch workout clips on YouTube. With YouTube, you have your own personal instructor right in your living room!
