5 Winter Weather Health Tips
Jan 21, 2010
When the weather outside drops in temperature, take some time to restore your energy. Don’t resist the urge to nestle into your snug, warm home, wrapped up in blankets comfortable and cozy. Here are 5 secrets that will help preserve your energy, bringing you health and tranquility not only in the winter months, but all year round.
The winter season is when nature sleeps, and everything experiences the slowing of natural processes, including our bodies. Humans stopped hibernating like their ancestral cousins long ago, but our bodies still experience the natural inclination to slow down during winter. The winter is a time to come back to quietness and rebuild your energy reserves for warm weather months when the hunt is back on!
1. Bedtime comes earlier, wake with the sunrise
Try to go to sleep earlier and wait (if you can of course) to let the sun bathe the house before rising from bed. Get your zzz’s in — at least 8 hours of sleep every night. Try taking a 20- to 30-minute easy walk one hour before you go to bed to improve the quality of your sleep.
2. Be contented
Avoid experiencing excessive emotions in the winter because they drain your energy reserves. De-stress with relaxation tips, breathing methods or even yoga!
3. Be wise with your energy reserves
The three months of winter are when all living things should return home and be conserved. Engage in activities that are in harmony with the energies of winter. Avoid perspiring excessively; be active in a moderate way. Walking is a simple activity to keep your energy up.
4. Eat for the season
To keep your health and energy up in the cold months of winter, avoid cold and raw foods, reducing salt to protect your kidneys, and increasing bitter flavors (like kale, for instance.) So steer clear of raw vegetables, cold salads, and icy cold foods and beverages. Instead your diet should follow nature’s menu for the seasons. Hearty soups are good for you during the winter months. Drink only warm or hot water.
5. Avoid coldness and linger around warmth
Dress warmly, paying special attention to your middle section. The abdomen is considered the storehouse of the body’s energy reserves. Keeping your abdomen warm and protected from weather extremes has immense immunity benefits. A good way to replenish your energy bank is to regularly place a hot water bottle on your stomach.
If you choose to go against these winter rules, it is said that weakness and coldness in the extremities will leave your energy levels weakened in the spring.
