Stay Healthy as You Travel for Thanksgiving
Many families will be traveling this Thanksgiving holiday ;either by airplane, bus, train, or car. With all that traveling and contact with many different people there is risk of picking up germs.
One of my favorite episodes of “Everybody Loves Raymond” was when a man sneezed on Raymond at the airport. After that sneeze he felt like he was coming down with something. After telling his mom about the sneeze she told him that it was the airport and who knows what he has now. Well Raymond had strep throat .
Although people do not always sneeze in you face there are still opportunities to pick up a cold or flu bug. One important way to stay healthy as you travel is to remember wash you hands. Although this has been preached from the medical community for years it is surprising how many people do not wash their hand , even after using the restroom.
Also you try to get plenty of rest. I know you are saying “yea right.” Traveling sometimes leaves us with the least amount of time to rest, but get some downtime during all the travelling. Another important things is to not stress. Seeing family during Thanksgiving can sometimes be stressful, but you can try to avoid those topics that end up leading to a family shouting match.
Hoping you having a happy and healthy Thanksgiving Day.
