Weekly Health Tips

 
We all love the holiday season, but wonder, how can we increase the joy and decrease the stress that comes hand in hand with it.  Each year, we hope to pull off the perfect holiday season with less spending, minimized craziness, and reduced pressure.

The main question is how do you enjoy more of the holidays while doing less.  US Family Health Plan – a TRICARE Prime Health Program gathered a list of 10 ways to de-stress your holiday season.  For us, less stress translates to better health and a more enriching experience.

The common focus of the holiday season is family celebration.  Families across the country come together to enjoy quality time together. It is a time when even extended family members, normally not together, reconnect.  This spirit defines the season, but can be one of the most challenging aspects for military families where a loved one may be absent due to military deployment. 

Diabetes is a disease the affects many people. It’s also a disease that continues to grow among the U.S. population. Spend a little time this November learning about diabetes. USFHP wants you to be aware of the symptoms and signs of the disease, but also how to prevent it!

Alas, the cool breeze of fall has arrived and the sultry summer days are gone. It’s time to pack up those shorts, t-shirts, and sundresses, and replace them with sweaters, fall suits and holiday attire. The process of decluttering a closet can be intimidating and time-consuming. Why? Because many of us tend to hold on to stuff too long.  This tendency can make the fall switcheroo that much more difficult.
