Winter is a time for festivities and enjoyment, but due to the change in weather, there are also lots of infections and ailments speading around in winter. Colds, flus and coughs are common everywhere and if you are not too careful, you may end up falling sick.
A weak body and an imbalanced immune system are more likely to fall prey to these viral and bacterial infections. Changing your lifestyle may help you sail throught the winter season, here’s how:
1. Sleep well, reduce your stress and workload to strengthen your body and help fight against viruses and bacteria that cause illnesses.
2. Eat a well balanced and healthy diet. Include lots of Vitamin C in your diet as it is a great cleanser and fights the aging process. It also fights germs and viruses and helps prevent colds. Vitamin C is found in oranges, lemons, kiwi, guava etc. Drink lemon juice as it is a great sterilizer.
3. Another natural germ killer is Garlic. Chew a garlic clove, or swallow it if you can’t tolerate the smell.
4. If you have a sore throat, gargle with warm water to which some salt or baking powder (Sodium bicarbonate) has been added.
5. We tend to drink less water during the winter season, because we don’t feel too thirsty. And as a result our skin becomes more drier. So drink lots of water to keep your body hydrated and moisturised at all times.
6. Moisturise your skin everyday with a rich cream to avoid dryness and scales. Use a sunscreen when you go out, you need a sunscreen even in winter season to avoid exposure to the harmful UV rays. Massage your hair with warm oil twice in a week to prevent dry and frizzy hair.
7. Eat breakfast to help balance insulin levels. Eat warm food that contains more veggies and lesser fats.
8. Eat smaller meals at regular intervals to prevent over-eating at one-go. Drink chicken soup, once in a day. If you are on a diet and fear that you may put on those unwanted pounds at the end of winter, drink a glass of water before starting each meal to fill up yourself faster.
9. Take a walk and exercise. Workout at the gym or at home atleast 5 days a week. Exercise keeps you fit and healthy and prepares your body to fight illnesses. If you can’t take a walk outside because of the cold weather, you can do dome aerobics or treadmill at home. Remember that a balanced lifestyle makes a balanced immune system that is well-equipped to sail through winter.
10. Keep yourself warmer by using sweaters, jackets and blankets. Avoid extremely cold temperature by staying indoors and using heaters and fire places. Try to stay away from people suffering from colds, coughs and flus.
