Anchorage VegFest’s mission is to inspire our community to live healthier lives by sharing the benefits of a plant-based lifestyle—rooted in health, kindness, and conscious living. We love connecting with vendors who promote plant-based/vegan products, services, and resources right here in Anchorage.

As we embrace the colder months, staying active and mentally sharp can be a challenge.
Here are three essential tips to keep you glowing and growing indoors!

1. Indoor Exercise Routines 🏋️‍♂️ Don’t let the cold keep you from moving! Try setting up a small home gym or follow online workout classes. Yoga, pilates, and bodyweight exercises are perfect for small spaces and can significantly boost your energy levels and mood.

2. Vitamin D Supplementation ☀️ With limited daylight, it’s crucial to manage your Vitamin D levels to maintain your immune system and mood. Consider a daily Vitamin D supplement, and always check with your healthcare provider for the right dosage for you.

3. Mental Health Maintenance 🧠 Keeping your mind healthy is just as important as keeping your body fit. Practice mindfulness or meditation to reduce stress. Also, regular virtual meet-ups with friends or joining online book clubs can keep your spirits high and your community connections strong.
