The unbearable cold weather, lack of sunlight, dormancy, dry chills, laziness, little energy and low mood are the few challenges this season gets along. Over and above, certain health challenges can also accompany due to the above trigger factors.

As we all prepare to welcome the New Year, let's see through some measures to a healthy lifestyle, full of vitality.

• Hydrate well
  Lack of thirst is one main reason that can impact water intake. The dry chills call for more hydration. Besides maintaining metabolic functions, water is crucial for flushing the toxins out of the body, keeping the skin supple, and boosting energy plus immune functions. There are many ways of hydration like soups, broths, herb-infused teas, fresh juices, lemonade, etc. Just dive into your favourite cuppa… 
• Healthy bites
  Nutrition emerges as a thoughtful strategy for maintaining good health during winter. Your diet needs a lot of vitamins, antioxidants, omega-3 fatty acids and minerals. Try to serve your platter with fish, veggies, lean meat, nuts, fruits, garlic, ginger, etc. These aid in boosting your immunity, maintaining skin moisture, regulating body temperature, supporting joint flexibility and keeping your digestive system on track. Confectionaries made from natural sources of sugar can also keep you away from unhealthy seasonal cravings. 
• Mindfulness & Exercise
  The dark and cold month triggers mood changes. Displeasure, lack of interest, poor sleep, fatigue, etc can be some of the Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD). The best way is to engage in yoga, breathing exercises, pilates, gentle stretches, resistance band routines, gymming, home workouts, indoor exercises, meditation, socialisation, etc. These can ward off negative thoughts and at the same time improve mental well-being.
• Sleep 
  Regular sleep and wake-up times help to boost immunity, stabilise hormones, lift mood, andlower inflammation and pain.
