Stay healthy this holiday season — great tips for kids and adults

Decking the halls. Wrapping gifts. Caroling parties — all are great holiday traditions. But catching a cold or dealing with seasonal allergies can turn anyone into a grinch. This year, take advantage of these health tips and start a new routine — one where you and your family find your relief and are healthy and happy all season long.

1. ‘Tis the Season for Sinus Therapy. From boosting your immune system to making time to keep up with your exercise regiment, looking after your body this holiday season can keep you in a joyful mood. Drink plenty of water, take your regular vitamins and schedule your routine sinus therapy to ward off sickness. BreatheMD offers three levels of sinus treatment depending on your needs.

- Sinus Rinse: Quick 15-minute appointment to flush your sinuses free of toxins and microbes.

- Sinus Cleanse: In just 30 minutes you’ll experience the Sinus Rinse coupled with a full head, neck, shoulder, face and scalp massage.

- Total Sinus Treatment: Both the Sinus Rinse and Sinus Cleanse, coupled with a topical anti-inflammatory CBD salve and herbal compress.

2. Have Yourself a Stress-Free Holiday? Everyone knows the holidays can be overwhelming. There’s the shopping, decorating, cooking and entertaining that comes with the holidays, plus your everyday to-dos. Maybe you or your significant other is finishing a big project at work or your kids are prepping for final exams. To help combat stress and lower blood pressure, consider infrared sauna therapy. Inducing a deep sweat, infrared saunas make the heart pump faster, which increase blood flow and circulation while lowering blood pressure.

3. Give Yourself a Gift. Feel and look your best this holiday season by starting Thermage®. Requiring no anesthesia or downtime, radiofrequency skin tightening regenerates and grows collagen down to the dermis. Results improve over time, so book your appointment soon!

4. Enjoy the Winter Wonderland. No, you’re not allergic to the holidays. But you can be sensitive to food and environmental substances, like pet dander, pollen and nuts. Stop suffering with a pain-free, 30-minute skin prick test or blood test. Once we know what affects you, targeted immunotherapy can help you feel better.

5. Have a Silent Night. Is your snoring (or your partner’s) keeping the house up at night? If so, it may be time to schedule an appointment with Dr. Bowden to put a treatment plan in place.
