How to Prepare for Spring Weather

Spring is here at our New York BioLife offices; everyone has a skip in their step and a smile on their faces. With the temperatures approaching the 50’s (a number we haven’t seen in months) and we can’t help but embrace it with open arms. So with spring right around the corner, we want to help you ready yourself for the season. With the change of the season comes a change in our bodies and environment, so we compiled a list to help you thwart off any health concerns for the warmer months.

See a doctor
Prepare yourself for the allergy season and update your allergy medicine. We also recommend considering an allergy test to check for the most common allergies instead of finding out you are allergic the hard way.

Keep your windows and doors shut
Close your windows and doors because even though you love that fresh spring breeze, allergens seep through the mesh screen of windows and doors. While it is a bit pricier, consider running your A/C on low earlier on in the season to get a cool breeze running through your home.

Time your outdoors activities
Try to avoid spending time outdoors in the early morning because pollen counts tend to be higher in the morning. Also, be sure to take your antihistamines at least two hours before going out.

Prep your home for natural disasters
While we may think that the worst of it is over with snowstorms behind us, the chance of hurricanes and tornados in some parts of the country are still very possible so be sure to prepare your home for the potential of storms. Some ways to prepare are to turn off the electricity and propane to avoid a fire and board up your windows to prevent debris from breaking them.

Set up your garden
The most exciting thing to see in the spring is the blossoming of spring flowers, but be careful about how early you plant them because just one frosty night can ruin them for the rest of the season. Be sure to pick the right time to plant them and if frost does occur be sure to cover them as protection against frigid nights.
