Daily Exercise
Not only is it important to protect your mental health with self-care and boost your immune system with healthy foods, but you’ll also need to incorporate daily exercise. Keep your body moving every day with a simple exercise routine. You can opt to do yoga, walking, Zumba or any other daily exercise that you enjoy. Daily exercise is another part of keeping your family healthy all year round.
Be sure to stock up on supplies like soup, multivitamins, and thermometers to ensure that you have a way to check your family’s temperatures. You’ll want to know immediately if your family has an increase in body temperature.
