With the busy season of the holidays approaching, that means a lot more travel for my family. It always seems to get a little hectic but it's great because we are all together.I really don't to want to let anything get into the way of our multi-generational Thanksgiving holiday. We spend 4-5 nights at a cabin the North Georgia mountains and this tradition has been going on for years. I look forward to this holiday all year because I enjoy it so much. However, it seems that with colder weather comes colds and I want to stop that at the sign of the first sniffle. It's really important to know How to Stay Healthy and Sane During the Holidays.
If you are like me, you don't want to let anything get in the way of celebrating and spending time with friends and family. That is why it is important to stay healthy and sane during the season and indeed all year long. The question is: how does one stay healthy and sane during this crazy busy season of life? Don't worry, we've got you covered with this How to Stay Healthy and Sane During the Holidays post. These handy tips will help you stay healthy and focused on the things that really matter during this busy Thanksgiving weekend.
1. Wash your hands a lot.
While cooking and prepping, you will be touching a lot of unknown surfaces. Make sure you’re washing those hands as much as possible. Not to mention, you don’t want to get sick right before the big Thanksgiving Day.
2. Stay hydrated.
Did you know that your body is made from mostly water? Staying hydrated is an important aspect during the holidays. If you aren’t hydrated enough, your immune system can break down. Drinking lots of water is one way to stay healthy and sane during the holidays.
3. Pick your battles.
The holidays bring a bunch of stress. Keep this in mind, pick your battles. Getting stressed out is not worth it during the holidays. Make sure you stay stress free and pick your battles. I mean, does it matter what kind of gravy is on the table?
4. Ask for help.
One key to staying healthy and sane during the holidays is to ask for help. Ask others to bring a side dish for Thanksgiving dinner. Don’t try to do everything yourself; it’s not worth it.
5. Use Zicam® Cold Remedy RapidMelts cold shortening to keep the cold at bay.

What tips would you add to this list?
Thank you so much for sharing these tips. I ALWAYS get sick during the holidays. I’m hopeful this will help with that.
I used to use Zicam years ago, but kind of got away from it. I need to use it again! It really does work.
I feel like I do a lot of these already…except ask for help!! LOL!! I need to do more of that!
Washing your hands is a big one. I think keeping Zicam on hand is another great tip.
The holidays is a stressful time of year. If you don’t take care of yourself it can lead you to illness. I would add to your list to keep excercise and health eating as part of your daily routine.
I haven’t tried Zicam. The girls always get sick during th cold season. Thanks for these tips.
This is my first time to heard it but it looks useful! I’m glad you shared this awesome tips.
Getting sick this coming Holiday is the worst. I’ll have to try this Zicam.
Getting sick during he holidays is almost a big part of our tradition because it happens so often. I need to pick some of this up to help me through.
These are such great tips! Staying hydrated is SO incredibly important, especially in such a busy time of year! Thanks for sharing!
I am terrible about asking for help. Sometimes it really is just easier to do things yourself but there are times when you just have to let things go.
These are some great tips. I think it’s very important to stay healthy during this time of year. It’s hard not to get sick around the holidays too.
Great tips! Staying hydrated on water and not coffee is my biggest thing to remember. Oh and of course sleep!

I’ll be hosting the holidays at my house this year so I make sure to do a thorough cleaning of all the rooms before they arrive to kill any germs in the house. I also open the windows a little to let the cool fresh air in.
These are all great tips! I know my kids happen to get sick at the same time, so hopefully this will cut that down.
The holidays is a stressful time of year. If you don’t take care of yourself it can lead into illness, which is not fun at all.
Picking your battles and asking for help are ones that I try really hard to work on. I don’t want to get stressed out, so I really just need to let more things go.
Getting sick over the holidays is never fun. I suggest getting your flu shot in October. You can’t be too careful. I also keep hand sanitizer in my purse so that I can use it after shaking hands etc.
Don’t forget to get plenty of sleep especially if your going shopping on Black Friday.
I have used Zicam many times with great results! There is nothing worse than being sick for the holidays.
Ooooooo what awesome tips!!!!! One of the worst pasty about winter is all the illnesses that go around!!!!
