The holiday season is full of excitement, but many people don’t realize the impact that winter season stressors can have upon their mental and emotional well-being.

Wearable devices can help you manage your health and track it throughout the year. You can also engage with wellness programs that may allow members to earn rewards for healthy activities. Apps like Go365, by Humana, are available to all employers and groups in the country. Rewards can be used to buy e-gift card, apparel, fitness equipment, and charitable donations.

You need to make sure you are healthy and happy as the holidays approach. Here are three top tips to keep you healthy this winter.

1. Keep up to date with your screenings, vaccinations, and exams. Ask your doctor about the vaccinations and exams you will need. Make sure to schedule time for them. You can get a reward program to motivate you to keep up with these important appointments. To prevent germ spread, make sure you get your vaccines and screen your children regularly.

2. Manage stress. You can support your mental health with exercises that relieve anxiety and worry like mindfulness, meditation, and journaling. Many wellness reward apps offer personalized meditation, mindfulness experiences, journaling exercises, and other tools that will help improve your mental health and emotional well-being.

3. Keep active and eat healthy. While it’s tempting to indulge during holidays, try to limit your intake of unhealthy foods. Nutrient-rich foods will help you maintain your energy levels and improve your mood.

Keep active even during the holiday season. Step challenges with your family and friends can help keep you on track and allow you to connect with other people who are striving for the same goal.
