Ways to Stay Healthy This Winter - Polo Labs

Though it may be cold outside, it does not necessarily have to be the unhealthiest months of your year. You can always try to bring out some effective lifestyle changes which will eventually help you stay healthy this winter season. Check out some incredible ways in which you can become a better version of yourself this winter.

Boosting Your Diet - To keep your immune system strong and going, you must include a lot of vitamin C in your daily diet. Also add a lot of vegetables and fruits like broccoli, capsicum, kiwifruit, lemons, etc. Don’t forget these items when you go weekly shopping. 

If you have trouble eating the recommended amount of fruits and vegetables, you can always prepare juice out of them. Trying out the combination of lemon, spinach, beetroot, and carrot will be excellent for boosting your immune system. Also include legumes, poultry, fish, and lean fat with spices and herbs.

Exercising Regularly - It is important that you are regular with your workout during this winter season. A recent study shows that engaging in a moderate level of exercise will enhance the immune response of your body. Though exercising is good, note that you do not go overboard. When you over strain yourself, you may release cortisol, a stress hormone which is known to weaken the body’s immunity.

Staying Connected - Socializing can be helpful in many different ways to keep your body active as well as reducing the level of stress in your body. Hence, you can let go of that temptation to stay curled up on the couch all day. Try inviting friends over to your place for a nice get-together with card games, or plan a day out with your buddies.

Scrubbing Up - You should keep hand washing frequently as it will avoid the spread of illnesses and eventually prevent you from getting sick. Do not let bacteria or other microbes transfer from one place to the other.

Sleeping Well - Not sleeping properly can have disastrous consequences on your body and immune system. A study conducted in Brazil found that lack of sleep can result in significant amount of loss in white blood cells which are necessary for fighting infection.
