As we enter the holiday season, it's common for people to get sick once things start winding down.
This is linked to a phenomenon known as 'leisure sickness', where busy people get sick once they're out of a stressful situation or environment. Three percent of the population are prone to getting migraines, nausea, muscle pain and fatigue when they get time off.
Over-working and stress are also linked to weakened immune systems, which make people more vulnerable to catching viral conditions, such as coughs, colds, or Covid-19.
In order to protect our immune systems, naturopath, wellness expert, and Golden Yogi director Erin O'Hara recommends recognising your personal work-life balance and budgeting time so you aren't burning yourself out and putting your health at risk.
