Dr. Mike's Monthly Health Tips for December 2010.

With health insurance premiums climbing along with annual deductibles, you can save money by staying healthy and helping to keep your family healthy.

This month's health topic: Don't let the flu spoil your holidays!

  • Tip #1:  Wash your hands, thoroughly and often.
  • Tip #2:  Get the flu vaccine, especially if you are at high risk.
  • Tip #3:  Sneeze and cough into the crook of your elbow.

To learn more about the flu, visit the Cold & Flu website of Kristina Duda, RN, my About.com colleague.

It is indeed true that “An ounce of prevention is better than a pound of cure”. It is always safe to practice the habit of hand-washing so as to prevent numerous diseases. I believe that making it a daily routine is a good way to start healthy living.
