Happy New Year from Access MD and Ways to Stay Healthy

I hope that you and your family had a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Many people set New Year’s resolutions and optimistically plan for improving nutrition and healthy lifestyle changes for the upcoming year.

January is a great time to refresh and plan ahead. However, we historically have seen an increase in influenza and upper respiratory illness around that time. If you have not received your flu shot for this year, it’s not too late. We have flu shots available in the clinic and would be happy to schedule you for an appointment.

Practicing good hygiene during this time of year is always the best line of prevention and defense. Washing hands, not sharing food or drink, and keeping your body rested and hydrated are all easy ways to avoid illness. You may find that incorporating a daily Vitamin C supplement, such as Emergen-C drink packets, supports immune health. Additionally, we have Vitamin B12 shots available for $25 in the clinic.
