How to Strengthen Your Immune System Naturally
A strong immune system helps your body fight off infections, recover faster, and stay energized. During winter, this becomes especially important. The cooler temps bring people indoors, where germs are able to spread more easily. This helps to contribute to the peak of flu season. With weakened immune systems, this puts seniors more at risk for complications. Giving your immune system a little extra support during these months is one of the best steps you can take for your health.
A Guide to Managing Diabetes During the Holidays
The holiday season is a time filled with family, friends, laughter — and of course, food. From Thanksgiving dinners to New Year’s gatherings, it can feel like every celebration revolves around eating. Which sounds great for most, but if you have diabetes, the holidays can bring a few challenges when it comes to managing your blood sugar.
The Importance of Annual Wellness Visits
Your health is one of your greatest assets—and taking time each year to check in on it can make a world of difference. That’s what the Medicare Annual Wellness Visit (AWV) is all about. More than just another doctor’s appointment, an AWV is a chance to focus on your long-term health, prevent problems before they start, and create a personalized plan to help you stay healthy.
