LIVING WELL
Christmas, Hanukkah, New Year’s —
these are supposed to be times of
celebration, togetherness, and
happiness. Yet, they can bring
challenges to our physical and
emotional health. Here are some tips for
staying healthy and happy during this
season of joy.
Eat well Eat well. It’s common to pack on 5-10
pounds during the holiday season, but
there are ways you can eat both healthy
and well! Know which foods are high in
caloric content and low in nutrition.
Stay activeStay active. Exercise is just as important
during the holidays as any other time of
the year. You should be active at least
four to five times a week, preferably
with some aerobic exercise every day.
Prevent illness and inPrevent illness and injuriesuries. Colds and
the flu are most prevalent in the
winter. Prevent them by washing your
hands regularly and urging others to do
the same.
De-stress De-stress. Holidays can be a stressful
time. Try to anticipate sources of stress
and develop a plan to manage them.
This may involve committing to fewer
get-togethers and taking time to rest.
Treat yourselfTreat yourself. Treat yourself with
something over the holidays. It may be
something as simple as sleep. Wake up
late and enjoy a day of rest. How about
reading that book you’ve been meaning
to or getting a manicure or massage?
Take the time to do the things that
make you happy!

The foundation of Watermark University (WU) is to provide meaningful opportunities to learn, teach and grow,
resulting in a life of overall well-being. Research shows that learning and keeping our mind active and sharp
supports healthy aging.
At Watermark Retirement Communities we are committed to encouraging our residents and associates to lead
balanced lives, full of meaning and purpose, grounded in self-awareness and infused with curiosity, our
Watermark University courses help achieve this goal. By focusing on the Seven Dimensions of Well-being:
Physical, Social, Intellectual, Spiritual, Emotional, Environmental, and Vocational we offer the opportunity to
achieve a balanced life and we see the benefits across the country in every class, every day.
