Learning to Thrive During the
WINTER MONTHS
Winter is quickly approaching, and with that comes colder
temperatures, the move from outdoor to indoor activities, and
the temptation to hibernate until springtime. What if, instead of
backsliding on our health and wellness this winter, we THRIVE
during these chilly months? Let’s take this opportunity to stay
healthy and develop a new habit or two!
Last winter, we were not allowed to do much of anything, thanks
to COVID. This winter things are looking a bit more “normal,”
but winters still coincide with an increase in other viruses, such as
the flu. It’s also a time where we see an increase in depression and
a decline in mental health. Let’s look at some ways to keep your
health in tip-top shape in the upcoming months.
1. Wash your hands and sanitize your surroundings.
We have heard this a million times. But sometimes it’s good
to have a friendly reminder. Remember to wash your hands
frequently, for at least 20 seconds. If you are unable to wash with 5. Make time to relax. This may sound counterintuitive but
soap and water, use hand sanitizer. making time to unwind is just as important as staying active.
Being rundown can compromise your immune system and leave
you susceptible to viruses and infections. Activities to wind down
can include Yoga, meditation, journaling, or reading a book.
6. Make connections. This could mean video chatting with
your family or having a meal with a loved one. How you spend
time and connect with others is up to you, but we are social
creatures who NEED those physical connections. In addition,
talking to someone else can also help with feelings of loneliness
or depression.
This winter, let’s focus on taking care of ourselves, rather than
just “getting by.” Put your mental and physical health first and
dive into the colder months head on!
2. Bulk-up your immune system. An important part of
staying healthy is keeping your immune system in check. Ways to Brittany Austin, National Director of Health and Wellness,
do this are getting the appropriate vaccinations as needed, eating Functional Pathways
a balanced diet with lots of fruits and vegetables, getting adequate
sleep, and staying active. If you are having a hard time getting
enough fruits and vegetables throughout the day, try adding a
smoothie! It’s a simple way to pack in a BUNCH of fruits and
veggies.
3. Stay Active. Staying active will help promote bone and
muscle health, improve sleep patterns, and lead to an overall
healthier lifestyle. The stronger your body is in general, the
stronger it will be to fight off illnesses. You can easily incorporate
exercise into your daily routine (if you haven’t done so already)
by doing exercises, like chair marches or leg kicks) from your
chair while you watch your favorite T.V. show.
4. Practice Your Balance! It’s important to practice your
balance – as they say, “use it or lose it!” Working on your balance
daily can help with your ability to catch yourself if you slip on the
ice, preventing a potentially serious fall from occurring.
