Make every movement count this New Year. Stretching does more than improve flexibility; it supports longevity and helps maintain independence as you age. Regular stretching boosts circulation, strengthens muscles and joints, reduces inflammation, and helps maintain balance, coordination, and mobility for daily activities.

Even small, consistent routines can make a big difference in staying active, independent, and engaged for years to come.

Holiday get-togethers are fun, but germs spread fast. Keep everyone safe with simple steps:

• Wash your hands often with soap and warm water for at least 20 seconds. Handwashing doesn’t just kill germs; it lifts and removes them from your skin. Soap traps dirt, oils, and microbes, and running water washes them away. Rubbing your hands and drying them thoroughly makes this even more effective.
• Disinfect high-touch surfaces like doorknobs, tables, and remotes.
• Avoid sharing cups or utensils.
• Keep sick individuals separate when possible.

Simple habits such as handwashing, sanitizing, and thoughtful distancing can help you enjoy the holidays safely!

Shorter, colder days don’t have to mean that you move less. Staying active will help you maintain strength, balance, and overall health.

When considering outdoor activities like walking, try to plan for a time of day that still provides sunlight. Get up a few minutes earlier for a quick walk before work or use part of your lunch break to get outside. Be sure to dress in layers to stay warm and comfortable, and wear slip-resistant shoes.

If you go for a walk or run at night, stay on a well-lit path, wear reflective clothing, and consider carrying a light with you. A pet or friend also may provide extra motivation and safety for a nighttime stroll.

If you prefer working out indoors, however, create a small workout space in your house or considering joining a gym or group fitness class. Throughout the day, take stairs or short indoor walks. Do gentle stretches or squats while waiting for coffee or meals. Schedule short activity breaks throughout the day.

‘Tis the season for celebrating and decorating, but it’s also when home-related accidents rise. Each year, thousands of individuals visit emergency rooms for preventable injuries that can be avoided with some simple safety tips:

• Inspect ladders before use. Place on level ground, wear slip-resistant shoes, and avoid overreaching or standing on the top step.
• Keep fresh trees watered and away from heat, or use fire-resistant artificial trees. Check tree lights for damage, choose UL-approved strands, and unplug decorations before bedtime or when leaving home.
• Keep decorations, cords, and candles out of reach of children and pets. Secure walkways, and use clips instead of nails for hanging lights.

By staying mindful, you can enjoy the holidays while keeping you, your family, and your home safe.
