Back to School and Staying Healthy

 

Back to School: Staying Healthy in the Classroom and Beyond

The start of the school year is an exciting time for kids and parents alike. But it can also be a time when germs are easily spread, especially in close quarters like classrooms and school buses. Here are some tips for staying healthy during the back-to-school season:

  • Wash your hands often. This is the single most important thing you can do to prevent the spread of germs. Be sure to wash your hands for at least 20 seconds with soap and water, especially after using the bathroom, before eating, and after being around someone who is sick.
  • Get your flu shot. The flu is a serious illness that can make it difficult to attend school and learn. Get your flu shot every year to protect yourself and your loved ones. (My opinion is that this is optional.)
  • Eat healthy foods. Eating a healthy diet gives your body the nutrients it needs to fight off infection. Make sure to include plenty of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains in your diet.
  • Get enough sleep. When you're well-rested, your body is better able to fight off infection. Aim for 8-10 hours of sleep per night.
  • Manage stress. Stress can weaken your immune system, making you more susceptible to illness. Find healthy ways to manage stress, such as exercise, yoga, or meditation.

In addition to these general tips, there are a few things you can do specifically to stay healthy at school:

  • Avoid sharing food and drinks. This is a great way to prevent the spread of germs.
  • Keep your backpack clean. Germs can easily spread from one surface to another, so be sure to clean your backpack regularly.
  • Cover your mouth and nose when you cough or sneeze. This will help prevent the spread of germs through the air.
  • Stay home if you're sick. It's important to stay home from school if you're sick, so you don't spread your illness to others.

By following these tips, you can help ensure a healthy and happy back-to-school season!

Oncology Skincare and Maria's Gift from GlyMed Plus

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, which is an annual campaign to increase awareness of the disease. While most people are aware of breast cancer, many forget to take the steps to have a plan to detect the disease in its early stages and encourage others to do the same. Aside from skin cancer, breast cancer is the most common cancer affecting women today. Today, when you look around, you will see the unique things people are doing to help promote awareness of this disease and the efforts to find a cure. You cannot help be touched by all the different ways professional athletes and coaches are showing their support. From pink shoes, pink sweatbands, and pink ribbon stickers on helmets, it is great to see then all get involved. If you or someone you know is undergoing treatments, GlyMed Plus, the skincare line that I use and carry in my studio, has a program called "Maria's Gift".  Maria's Gift helps breast cancer survivors by donating GlyMed Plus professional pr...

Role Models

November is National Inspirational Role Models Month . No matter your age, gender, or stage in file, having someone who inspires you to be the best version of yourself is always a positive thing. Perhaps it is a friend, a celebrity or an activist. Whether the person is high-profile or not isn’t important. Their character and ability to inspire, guide, and teach carries much more value. This month let’s focus on the person who motivates you and thank them for their leadership. I would like you to share who inspires you? I’ve mentioned some of the characteristics of a role model, but let’s go into more detail. A  role model  is a person other people look up to in order to help determine appropriate behaviors.  Role models  can be either positive or negative. ...
