โ๏ธ The days get shorter, the nights get colder, and itโs easy to just curl up and forget about your health until spring. But donโt hit pause on taking care of yourself.
Winter can mess with your body in sneaky ways. Want to stay healthy while itโs chilly out? Hereโs how:
1. Stay Hydrated. You might not feel as thirsty when itโs chilly but cold air dries you out, and your immune system still needs that hydration to keep working.
2. Boost Vitamin D. With less sunlight in winter, you might need a supplement or some foods packed with vitamin D. Ask your doctor if youโre not sure.
3. Dress in layers. Itโs not just about comfort โ keeping your core warm helps your heart and lungs do their job without extra stress.
4. Move your body. Even ten minutes of stretching indoors makes a difference. If you can sneak in more activity, do it. Try something new inside if it keeps you moving. Dancing in your living room totally counts!
5. Donโt skimp on sleep. Aim for 7-8 hours to give your immune system a fighting chance.
Bottom line: stay warm, keep moving, take care of yourself, and donโt let winter slow you down.
