Dr. Gurley: Five Things to Do For Your Health in January
In these hard economic times, donations of all kinds, including blood, are down. Take the time to give life. If you aren’t qualified to donate blood (because the criteria are very stringent) consider donating your time at a blood drive. We all benefit, when someone gives.
3) Love check-up - January is Cervical Cancer Screening month. In addition to the stand-by PAP smears, many of us are supposed to get regular sexually-transmitted disease (STD) screenings (men and women) - even if we don’t have symptoms. What better time than January to get your engine tuned and checked, so that all your parts are revved in time for Valentine’s Day? This snuggly winter month (post-holiday-extravaganzas) is a great time to get these important check-ups off your to-do list. While you’re at it, get yourself eagle-eyed for love opportunities too - January is also Eye Care Month, so schedule an exam to get your peepers checked as well.
4) Gratitude time - January is National Thank You month. Instead of thinking of those overdue thank-you cards as a looming task, keep in mind that they’re a prime opportunity for you to improve your mood.
