How can I stay healthy with a chronic illness during the holidays?

Taking care of yourself during the holidays can be challenging, but it's not an impossible task. Here are some tips:

• Don't disrupt regular routines, such as taking medication or going to doctor's visits
• Do your best to get as much exercise and fresh air as your condition allows. Also, be sure to safeguard your times for rest and sleep
• If you routinely get depressed during the holidays or winter months, talk to you doctor or get help from other sources. Seek help before things get bad. The earlier you seek help, the faster you'll feel better, and the better your holiday season can be.
