Ten tips to make 2015 your healthiest year yet Submitted by Interior Health If improving health and wellness is on your radar, check out these 10 little tips that can have a BIG impact.

1. SAY GOOD-BYE TO TOBACCO

Tobacco use continues to be the leading cause of preventable death and illness in Canada. Stopping smoking is the single best action you can take for your health. Benefits of quitting smoking begin almost immediately. For more information, visit www.quitnow.ca.

2. IF YOU DRINK, DO SO SAFELY

Alcohol is the second leading risk factor for death, disease, and disability in Canada. If you choose to drink, follow Canada’s Low Risk Drinking Guidelines. The guidelines were developed to help Canadians reduce the risk of both short and long-term alcohol-related harm.

3. TAKE STEPS TO PREVENT INJURIES

Injuries are a big deal. They claim lives, send people to hospital, and leave people disabled. Injuries are the leading cause of death in B.C. for those under the age of 44 and the fourth leading cause of death across all age groups. Approximately 90 per cent of injuries are predictable and preventable.

Find out more at www.preventable.ca.

6. LEARN ABOUT YOUR MEDICATIONS

Medicines work in a delicate balance with your body and with each other. Tell your doctor or pharmacist about all the medications you are taking, including supplements and herbal remedies. Educate yourself about side effects and possible interactions at www.healthlinkbc.ca.

7. WASH YOUR HANDS OFTEN

Germs can spread easily through contact with any surface. Once they get on your hands, they spread by simple acts like rubbing your nose or your eyes. Regular hand washing can help you avoid picking up and spreading colds, flu, and other viruses.

8. GET YOUR SHOTS

Keeping you and your family up to date with vaccinations is a great way to help everyone stay healthy. Immunize your children, get your flu shot every year, and a tetanus shot every 10 years. For more information, check www. immunizebc.ca.

9. EAT A HEALTHY DIET 4. PRACTICE STRESS MANAGEMENT

Stress is a normal part of life but when it happens too often or lasts too long, it can cause problems. Stress is linked to headaches, nausea, back pain, and trouble sleeping. It can also weaken the immune system. Take steps to lower stress and reduce tension.

5. IF YOU ARE HAVING TROUBLE COPING, TALK TO SOMEONE

If you feel depressed, anxious, or overwhelmed it’s often helpful to talk about it. Your family doctor and communitybased counsellors are available to help.

Choosing foods that are low in sodium and reducing sugary drinks will help you maintain a healthy weight and reduce the risk of conditions such as high blood pressure. Vegetables and fruit are an essential part of a healthy diet and play an important role in preventing disease. For more information on healthy eating, visit http://www.healthlinkbc.ca/healthyeating/.

10. GET MOVING

An active lifestyle can help prevent heart disease, stroke, high blood pressure, obesity, and more. Being active doesn’t have to mean joining a gym or fitness class – it can be as simple as playing with the kids or choosing to walk instead of drive. Check out www.participaction.ca for more ideas.
