🎄 CHRISTMAS HEALTH TIPS 🎄
Stay healthy so you can enjoy every moment of the holiday season! ❤️✨
🌟 1. Wash your hands often – Holiday gatherings = higher risk of cold, flu, RSV & COVID.
🌟 2. Stay hydrated – All the travel + salty foods can dehydrate you.
🌟 3. Be careful in the kitchen – Lots of holiday cooking means more cuts & burns.
🌟 4. Eat mindfully – Enjoy treats but avoid overeating to prevent heartburn & sugar spikes.
🌟 5. Decorate safely – Use stable ladders and avoid lifting heavy boxes alone.
🌟 6. Bundle up – Keep warm to avoid winter colds.
🌟 7. Manage stress – Holidays can be overwhelming. Take breaks, rest, breathe.
🌟 8. Travel smart – Plan ahead, stay alert, and pack your medications.
🌟 9. Drink responsibly – Too much alcohol = dehydration and injuries.
🌟 10. Know when to seek care – Fever, breathing problems, severe flu symptoms, or injuries? We’re here for you. ❤️🏥
Wishing everyone a safe, healthy, and joyful Christmas! 🎁✨

🚨 Know the Signs:
• Persistent cough that won’t go away

• Unexplained fatigue or weight loss
✅ Protect Your Lung Health:
• Don’t smoke — or get help quitting 🚭
• Avoid secondhand smoke & air pollution 🌬️
• Stay up to date on screenings if you’re high-risk (ages 50–80 with a smoking history)
• Get evaluated early if symptoms persist
At HB Urgent Care, we can:
• Check symptoms like cough or shortness of breath
• Order initial chest X-rays if indicated
• Provide referrals to specialists for further testing
Early action makes all the difference. This November, take a deep breath — and make lung health a priority.
