How to Prepare Your Body For Winter?
There
are several things you can do to maintain your healthy habits through the
winter. They will help you to avoid all the unpleasant health problems and
enjoy the holidays even more.
Prepare Your Body For Winter With These Simple Steps
These next tips will help you
prepare your body for winter so that you can start to protect yourself from the
negative influences and strengthen your immunity:
Replace Coffee With Tea
You can still drink a coffee
in the morning if you cannot imagine not to start your day with a cup of
coffee. Try to replace your lunch/afternoon coffee with herbal tea. The tea
will help you purify your organism and clean your blood. Any organic tea is also
beneficial for your kidneys, which is a part of your body that suffers the most
during cold months.
Drink Yogurt Every Day
You probably already know that
yogurt is really healthy and good for your body, so you need to consume it
regularly. The yogurt is a natural probiotic which will improve your digestive
system and help your immune system to fight harmful bacteria.
Drink Plenty Of Water And Fluids
Drinking water and healthy and
fresh juices is the best way to detoxify your body properly. The detoxification
will help your organism cope better with the cold weather and to fight against
colds. Drinking more water will help you feel better immediately. Here is a
hint for you: every morning before breakfast drink a glass of lukewarm water
and squeezed lemon.
Do Not Forget The Physical Activity
You do not have to go to the
gym or run outside in the cold weather if you don’t feel like it. It’s enough
to go out on a simple walk in the park. You can also do some light exercises in
the comfort of your own home, and as you improve you can also increase the
intensity of the exercise.
Get Enough Sleep
Shorter days can be your ideal
excuse for a bit of hibernating. It is recommended that you sleep seven to nine
hours per night to keep your body as healthy as possible during the winter.
Some researchers have proven that not getting enough and good quality sleep
leads to decreased production of flu and cold-fighting antibodies.
Get Some Sunshine
Getting enough vitamin D is
essential for your health. With winter days lasting about half as long then
summer days, there are fewer opportunities to be outside for a dose of vitamin
D. This can weaken your immune system, making it much easier to come down with
a cold or flu. Try to take advantage of every opportunity you get to take a
walk in the middle of the day to soak up some sun.
Go To The Sauna
When it comes to cold winter
days, there is no better idea than the sauna. It’s enough to stay in the sauna
for one hour a week to remove all accumulated toxins by sweating. The sauna
will also improve your circulation.
