Holiday gatherings are a time to connect but can also increase your exposure to respiratory illnesses.

Even if you are vaccinated against COVID-19, Flu, or RSV, there are other respiratory illnesses, like the common cold, that you can still get.

For added layers of protection, follow CDC’s recommended respiratory illness prevention strategies, like:
- Practicing good hygiene by washing your hands.
- Improving air flow or ventilation in crowded spaces.
- If feeling sick, staying home, or wearing a mask if you must be around others.

Insulin resistance can be a major step toward type 2 diabetes, but the good news is that physical activity can help. Regular exercise improves your body’s ability to use insulin and manage blood sugar levels. Just 30 minutes a day can make a real difference in preventing or managing insulin resistance.

Staying active isn’t just about fitness—it’s a powerful tool to protect your health and reduce your diabetes risk. Let’s move toward a healthier future!
