Winter presents some health risks, but you can minimize many of them:
- Get a flu shot, and stay away from people who are sick with bad colds or the flu.
- Ask your doctor if you should take vitamin D over the winter, when our blood levels tend to go down.
- If your spirits tend to sag each fall, try to get outside for some morning light. See your doctor if you lose interest in your usual activities.
- Make sure you're prepared in case there's a power outage or you get stuck in your car or away from home due to weather.
- Take care that you don't fall when it's icy out, or overdo it shoveling snow. Dress for the weather.
