From Our School Nurse
I know we've all heard these tips before, but as our cold/flu/covid season seems to be in full swing, I thought I'd remind us all of a few tips to help stay healthy:
- Good sleep is crucial. Try not to use any screens for 30-60 minutes before bedtime. The light suppresses melatonin, which can make it harder to fall asleep, and harder to get good sleep. Active screen time, such as video games, can affect sleep even more.
- According to the CDC, kids 6-12 years old need 9-12 hours of sleep a night!
- Eat vegetables and fresh fruits at every meal, and try them for snacks- the more colors, the better!
- Try to limit your refined sugar intake to less than 10% of your calories and reduce your intake of processed foods (watch for that hidden sugar!).
- Stay well-hydrated, skip the sugary drinks, and try to drink some plain water during the day.
- Doing something active during the day can help decrease stress and help you get a better night's sleep.
- Try to decrease stress and/or do a stress-relieving activity each day, such as coloring, yoga, meditation, a hot bath, or fun book.
- You can talk to your medical provider about what vitamins may be helpful for you. If you feel you are constantly sick or getting sick more often than others around you, it may be worth talking to your provider about possible medical reasons, such as iron deficiency, vitamin D or other deficiencies, and other possible underlying causes.
- Wash your hands throughout the day, especially after activities that included touching things that others might have touched- stair railings, grocery items, door handles, gym equipment, etc... Try to remember to wash your hands before touching your face.
- Getting outdoors can help decrease stress and boost your immune system! Try an after-school walk, play at the beach, or play in a yard. As the weather warms, we can cook and eat outside, too!
May you stay well!
