Having a hard time waking up during winters?
Here are some ways you can adapt an easy healthy winter routine :
“I love the scents of winter! For me, it’s all about the feeling you get when you smell pumpkin spice, cinnamon, nutmeg, gingerbread and spruce.”
–Taylor Swift
1. Stay hydrated
Increase your water intake by consuming foods high in water, such as apples, celery, lettuce, and cucumber. Enjoy hot, nutritious beverages. If drinking cold water in the winter sounds unpleasant, consider healthier, warmer options (e.g., green tea, cinnamon tea.) Stay away from alcohol and coffee.
2. Keep yourself moving
Plan some time during the day to enjoy nature, if the conditions are right. Explore a safe park or neighbourhood by foot. Alternatively, think of watching an exercise class on TV, the internet, live on Zoom, or Instagram. You may find online fitness videos that are free or inexpensive to help you stretch, dance, do aerobics, and gain strength.
3. Good sleep routine
Never forget that obtaining more sleep during the winter is quite normal. You’ll gain these advantages and more if you simply maintain it between 7 and 10 hours every night:
- Defeat Illness
- Controlling appetite and weight can help fight the winter blues
4. Healthy diet plan
Many fruits, vegetables, and spices that are believed to aid in natural weight loss are abundant in the winter.
Winter foods like carrots, beets, cinnamon, fenugreek, and guava can help you lose weight and reduce belly fat if you include them in your daily diet An eating cycle known as intermittent fasting involves a fasting interval of roughly 16 to 24 hours. To experience some wonderful health benefits, it is more of a lifestyle choice than a diet plan. Intermittent fasting supporters frequently mention better weight management.
5. Practice Gratitude
Our moods and satisfaction levels can be impacted by the gloomy, chilly months. Numerous studies demonstrate that appreciating what you have, even something as basic as a hot shower, may be learned by intentionally connecting with something for which you are truly glad. Consequently, sentiments of contentment are fostered.
6. Meditate often
Meditation has numerous documented health advantages. Experts in mental health and meditation discuss the best ways to use this tool to get through the long winter months. Although there are many methods worth trying, mindfulness meditation is highly advised for reducing anxious thoughts, enhancing mood, and managing stress. The best part is that you can apply this technique at any point during the day.
7. Make a good plan
While exercise is crucial, it’s as important to have realistic expectations for yourself. It’s tempting to take on too much during the hectic holiday season of winter and burn out. This is especially true when the days are shorter. We advise creating a training schedule for the upcoming months so you can estimate your time constraints and adjust your training accordingly. Once you’ve created a sensible training schedule, follow it and don’t push yourself too hard. Illness can strike at that time!
8. Vitamin D3 intake
We don’t obtain as much vitamin D during the winter since there is less sunlight and the days are shorter. Consider adding a supplement to your diet of this essential vitamin to support the immune system’s regular operation.
9. Prepare your equipment for winters
Although it may be freezing outside, you will still perspire when exercising. However, it may be difficult to warm up because it is simple to become cold when you first begin. Go outside dressed in layers that you can take off as you go, including thick leggings, gloves, and hats, to avoid starting to shiver. Remember to be safe, too. It’s time to get out your high-visibility reflective gear or buy some with the cold weather’s gloomy mornings and dark evenings in mind to make sure you’re noticed by approaching pedestrians and vehicles.
10. Yoga
Ever sense how your muscles are more tense during the winter? The body contracts as a result of bundling up and hunching over to avoid the cold, which frequently results in shoulder and back pain. Similar to this, shorter days and colder weather can also have a detrimental impact on motivation, sleep, and other aspects of daily living. We advise using a winter yoga sequence that motivates you to regain heat in your body to help you process that experience. Combating the winter blues with these yoga poses There is always something to gain from leaning into your practise, from gently expanding the heart and hips to realigning you with your breath.
Hope this helps! 🙂
