Cold and flu season is officially here! 🦠

As temperatures drop, our immune defences weaken, making fall and winter prime time for illness. But a few simple habits can go a long way toward keeping you healthy and well throughout the winter months:

💉 Keep your vaccinations up to date – especially your flu and Covid shots
🥗 Fill your plate with colourful fruits, veggies and protein-rich foods to give your body the nutrients it needs to fight off viruses
💧 Stay hydrated – even mild dehydration can affect your immune response
😴 Prioritize good quality sleep to give your immune system time to recharge
🚶‍♀️ Keep up your exercise routine to boost circulation and help fight off illness
🧼 Wash your hands often. It's one of the simplest yet most effective ways to prevent spreading germs

Let’s all do our part to stay healthy and focused on living well this season!

The research is still in early stages but proves that music may be a cost-effective and harm-free way to relieve chronic and acute pain. And yes, you can try this out at home!

A few words a day can lift your whole week.

Taking a moment each day to jot down what you’re grateful for, big or small, can shift your mindset and improve emotional well-being. It might be the sound of birds in the morning, a kind conversation, or a delicious meal.

Reflection also helps you notice patterns, process emotions, and recognize progress over time. There’s no right or wrong way to journal, just a few honest words can make a big difference.

Start with one sentence: “Today, I’m thankful for…”

Bringing nature indoors with low-maintenance plants.

Adding a bit of greenery to your home can lift your mood and freshen up your space. Try easy-care plants like pothos, snake plants, or peace lilies, they don’t need much attention but bring a lot of life. Even a small plant on your windowsill can brighten your day.

At Athens Creek, we love finding simple ways to help life feel calm, joyful, and connected to nature.

With the mercury set to rise again this week, it's a good time to make a plan to stay cool. ☀️

Too much heat isn't safe for anyone, but older adults can be particularly prone to challenges in regulating body temperature.

Here are some helpful planning tips from the Government of BC:
➡️ Know your home and community's cool zones
➡️ Stay in when it's hot out or limit time in direct sunlight
➡️ Lower your activity level
➡️ Stay well hydrated
➡️ Know the signs of heat stroke, and get medical treatment immediately should it occur
