Employee Health 

Does Sneezing and itchy watery eyes bother you this time of year? Here are some tips to help you get relief...

  Avoid Allergy Triggers:
    Keep windows closed and use air conditioning.
    Clean air conditioning systems regularly to avoid mold growth.
    Don't hang laundry outdoors to dry as pollen may cling to sheets and towels.
    Avoid early morning activities since the pollen count is the highest between 5-10am.
    Wear a dust mask when mowing the lawn or tending the garden.
   
  Talk to an Expert:
    Consult your doctor or an allergy specialist about allergy medications, possible side affects, and other options. There are new prescription antihistamines that provide relief without causing drowsiness.
    Avoid nonprescription antihistamines whenever safety requires you to stay alert.



LIVING FOR LIFE

Living for Life is the name of 3HC's wellness program. Our program has a worthwhile goal: to help employees live his or her life to its fullest. In order to achieve this, we all must strive to have not only good physical health but emotional, mental and spiritual health as well. A link is provided for each month that focuses on attaining better health through exercise, weight loss, better nutrition or ways to relieve stress in your life, and more. BCBS participants may also visit BlueCross and BlueShield of North Carolina's website for helpful information and programs. Another website with excellent lifestyle information is WebMD. But remember, information obtained from these sites does not replace a yearly physical or your health care provider's advice. The road to happiness is being healthy . . .
