3 Healthy Holiday Tips

Yes -- we know -- "healthy" and "holiday" are two words that just don't look right together. But here are our top tips for enjoying the holidays without having to add to your list of new year resolutions.

It's holiday time, meaning you may eat more than usual, and with long travels, your legs might swell. Here are 3 tips to help you avoid and manage swollen legs:

• Wear light weight compression stockings while traveling
• Avoid excess salt
• Stay active! Even if you are staying with family, try to keep to your regular exercise routine

If, after a long trip, your leg suddenly swells and is painful, seek out medical care. Blood clots, while uncommon, can occur under those circumstances.
