Stay Healthy Through The Carnival Season
The Carnival Season is upon us. The first parades have rolled and you know this will not be a sprint, it will be a marathon. Mardi Gras is on February 25th this year. There will be plenty of parades, parties and balls for you to attend. We have some tips for you to stay healthy and well through the next couple of weeks while making the best of the season:
Pace Yourself
Since the next couple of weeks will be very busy, it is important that you pace yourself. When looking at all the carnival events that are about to happen, make sure you plan for some time to rest. Maybe skip a couple of parades and don’t go out every night. When out at the parade route, make sure to wear comfortable shoes. While partying and drinking, remember to stay hydrated and don’t just drink alcohol in your cooler, but also plenty of water. Find out where your closest restroom is and be prepared to wait in line. If you don’t exhaust yourself, you will have more fun and stay well throughout the Carnival season!
