The holiday season in New York City is magical, but it’s also a marathon. From late-night office parties and packed holiday markets to family gatherings and travel, your body is under a lot of stress. The last thing you want is to be sick for Thanksgiving or New Year’s Eve.
That’s why a pre-holiday health check is essential. But you don’t need to go to a clinic to get it done. Here’s your pre-holiday health checklist, all of which can be handled by a certified medical practitioner in the comfort of your home.
Your At-Home Pre-Holiday Checklist
Think of this as your preventative maintenance before the busiest time of the year.
☑ 1. Get Your Flu Shot
This is non-negotiable, especially if you plan on traveling or visiting elderly relatives. The flu virus spreads rapidly in airports, on subways, and at parties. A certified medical practitioner can administer a flu shot to you and your entire family in one simple at-home visit.
☑ 2. Boost Your Immune System with an IV Drip
The “Burnt-Out New Yorker” is a real phenomenon in November and December. Lack of sleep, work stress, and cold weather all weaken your immune system. An at-home wellness IV drip delivers a high-dose cocktail of Vitamin C, B vitamins, and other antioxidants directly to your bloodstream, giving your immune system the armor it needs.
☑ 3. Get That “Lingering” Issue Checked Out
Have a cough that won’t quit? A sinus headache that keeps coming back? Don’t let it fester until it ruins your holiday. A practitioner can visit your home, provide a thorough evaluation, and determine if you need antibiotics for a sinus infection or other medication.
☑ 4. Plan for Holiday Travel
If you’re traveling, talk to a practitioner about your plans. Besides the flu shot, you can discuss strategies for staying healthy on a plane and get any prescription refills you might need before you leave town.
