It’s that time of year when it seems like every­one has the snif­fles and sneezes, but how do you know if it’s just a cold or if it’s the flu?

In the hus­tle and bus­tle of our busy lives, sleep often takes a back­seat. We sac­ri­fice pre­cious hours of rest to squeeze in a few more tasks, scrolling through our screens long into the night, and toss­ing and turn­ing as we try to shut our minds off. But, the truth is, the con­se­quences of not mak­ing sleep a pri­or­i­ty can have a detri­men­tal impact on your health.

With the abun­dance of infor­ma­tion avail­able, eat­ing healthy can often seem over­whelm­ing. So, we went to the experts to help us sim­pli­fy things. Quin­cy Med­ical Group Reg­is­tered Dieti­tians Olivia Rees and Brit­tany Win­ship each shared their top three tips for health­i­er eat­ing that are easy to imple­ment and can lead to long-last­ing benefits.

Col­lege is back in ses­sion for many of our local stu­dents. This time of life can be both excit­ing and stress­ful. With all the stres­sors stu­dents expe­ri­ence in col­lege, it’s impor­tant for them to take care of them­selves, both phys­i­cal­ly and mentally.

Two years into the pan­dem­ic, rou­tine health vis­its have become more impor­tant than ever. That includes den­tal visits.

Ticks can be more than an annoy­ance. They can trans­mit dis­eases that pose a risk to your health. Dr. Hala Saad, Infec­tious Dis­ease physi­cian at Quin­cy Med­ical Group (QMG), says ticks can be active through­out the year, but their activ­i­ty lev­els are gen­er­al­ly high­er dur­ing the warmer months. As we enter the dog days of sum­mer, Dr. Saad offers tips to keep your­self safe this summer.

Sum­mer is a great time for trav­el. If you’re hit­ting the road in the com­ing weeks, make sure you’re pre­pared. What­ev­er activ­i­ty you have planned, hav­ing a trav­el first aid kit with you will help you with any sit­u­a­tion that may arise.
