10 Wellness Tips for Your Self

There are many, many things you can do to keep yourself healthy.  Staying healthy will help you maintain your youth.  Many of these wellness tips are so easy you won’t even realize you’re promoting your good health.

Have a cold?  Skip the antibiotics.  A cold is a viral infection.  Antibiotics are only good for bacterial infections.  So…save your money.

Looking for a cold medication?  This wellness tip can also save you money.  Avoid the medications that multi-task.  Simple medications cost less and focus on the symptom bothering you most.

Hot tea is good for making your throat feel good when you have a cold.  Saline nasal drops help your nose feel better, too.

Don’t spread your cold germs around.  Wash your hands frequently and don’t share your eating and drinking utensils.

When you come down with colds and/or hay fever, take the evening off.  Climb into bed early and sleep an extra hour.

Don’t store your meds in the bathroom.  Bathrooms tend to be too humid and too hot.  These two conditions encourage deterioration.

Now might be a good time to quit smoking.  Have you tried to stop smoking several times, this time switch to a pipe for a while.  But, think of this as only a step toward freedom because pipe smokers and cigar smokers not only suffer from lung cancer but also get throat and mouth cancer.

Don’t take acetaminophen for an extended period of time without consulting with your primary healthcare provider.  Long term regular use of these pain relievers can damage kidneys and liver.  Occasional use of these drugs are safe for most people.

Make sure your smoke detectors are in working order.  Replace any smoke detector that’s more than ten years old.  If your smoke detectors are younger than ten years old, get an aerosol spray tester at a hardware store that simulates smoke.

Avoid raking leaves if you have allergies.

Hopefully these wellness tips are interesting and useful to you and your household.
