WINTER WOES

Winter presents cozy nights and festive holidays but introduces health challenges. With mindful habits, you can maintain health and energy all season.

Here are some ways to keep yourself healthy during the winter season...

Hydration remains vital despite reduced thirst in winter. Adequate water intake supports digestion, joint health, and prevents skin from drying out.

A nutrient-dense diet featuring seasonal vegetables and citrus fruits boost immunity, aiding in illness prevention. Have garlic, ginger, and turmeric for  infection-fighting benefits.

The longer winter nights can disrupt sleep cycles and mood. Establish a routine for 7-8 hours of sleep, limit screen-time, and maintain a cool, cozy room.

Protect your skin during cold weather with a humidifier to add moisture and prevent dryness and irritation. Keep clean.

Winter increases colds and flu risks. Practice good hygiene by washing hands, avoiding sick individuals, sanitizing surfaces, and carrying hand sanitizer in crowded places.

Regular exercise is vital for health - even as the cold weather acts as a hindrance. Try indoor options such as yoga and stretching to boost your mood.
