Happy New Year, I am personally excited about the new year and optimist about the opportunities it holds. With us delving into the new year, it is paramount to take our health with utmost priority. In this short piece I will highlight some health safety tips that will be valuable for our health.
- Stay hydrated. Drink between 2-3litres of water in a day. Replace carbonated drinks with water.
- Wash your hands very often; after visiting the toilet, after touching a dirty surface, before and after eating.
- Do not drink and drive.
- Sleep for at least 8 hours in a day.
- Indulge in fruits; they improve your immune system.
- Sleep under mosquito treated net especially if you live in mosquito endemic areas like Nigeria
- Check your blood pressure very often. A monthly check of your body weight is also advisable.
- Stay active. Avoid the sedentary lifestyle. It’s a major risk to most diseases. Same with drinking and smoking.
