Happy Holidays: Stay Merry, Bright, and Healthy This Season!

December 20, 20243 min read

The holiday season is here, and we at Trinity Woundcare & Wellness Center in Kansas City, Kansas, couldn’t be more excited! Whether you’re decking the halls, baking cookies, or braving the crowds for last-minute shopping, this time of year is all about joy, love, and togetherness. Of course, it’s also a time when we tend to overindulge, stress a little too much, and forget to take care of ourselves.

So, before you dive into that holiday feast or pile on the tinsel, let’s talk about some simple ways to keep yourself feeling your best all season long.


1. Sleep Like You’re on Santa’s Nice List

Between late-night parties, wrapping gifts, and watching just one more Hallmark movie, sleep can take a back seat. But trust us, you’ll feel more festive with enough rest.

  • Try this: Stick to a bedtime routine—yes, even during the holidays! Wind down with a cup of herbal tea or a holiday novel.

  • Kansas City Idea: Take an evening stroll to admire the lights at the Plaza—a little fresh air can help you relax and drift off faster.


2. Get Moving—Festive Style!

It’s tempting to cozy up indoors when the temps drop, but staying active will help you feel energized (and less guilty about that extra slice of pie).

  • Fun suggestion: Turn holiday chores into exercise. Dance while decorating the tree or race your kids to shovel the driveway!

  • Local Fun: Lace up your skates at Crown Center Ice Terrace—it’s a classic Kansas City holiday activity that’s great for the whole family.


3. Treat Yourself Without Overindulging

Ah, the holidays—a time for eggnog, sugar cookies, and all the comfort food you can imagine. You don’t have to skip the goodies, but balance is key.

  • Quick tip: Start meals with a salad or veggies, then enjoy your favorite treats in moderation.

  • Pro Move: Fill up on water before diving into the dessert table. Bonus: add a festive touch with a splash of cranberry juice or mint leaves!


4. Stay Hydrated (Even if Hot Cocoa is Calling)

Between hot cocoa, spiked cider, and festive cocktails, water often gets sidelined during the holidays. Staying hydrated keeps you energized and helps your body recover from all those indulgences.

  • Fun twist: Carry a festive water bottle—it’s a great reminder to sip throughout the day!

  • Pro tip for parties: Alternate water with your holiday drinks to keep things balanced.


5. Take a Chill Pill (Not Literally!)

Let’s be real—holiday stress is a thing. From finding the perfect gift to hosting family dinners, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed.

  • Stress-buster: Take 10 minutes to yourself each day. Meditate, listen to holiday music, or simply breathe deeply.

  • Kansas City Bonus: Check out the peaceful vibes at the Kauffman Memorial Garden for a quick escape from the holiday hustle.


6. Boost Your Immune System

No one wants to be the person sneezing through holiday dinner. Stay ahead of seasonal bugs by giving your immune system a little love.

  • Try this: Load up on fruits and veggies, take your vitamins, and get plenty of rest.

  • Wellness Boost: Feeling run-down? Stop by Trinity Woundcare & Wellness Center for immune-boosting IV therapy. We even accept insurance, including Medicare, for many of our IV treatments!
