Winter is often giving a bad rap as it brings cold and flu season and those cold, dark mornings!
However with our little efforts we can easily battle from these suffering in colder months.Let's list down the things which we can do to prevent ourselves from these harsh conditions.

It is important to take care of our health throughout the year but during winter months it becomes more essential.Eating well, getting enough sleep, and staying active are all the important  during winter to keep us and our family healthy and to support our immunity.Supplements containing herbs and nutrients such as echinacea, garlic, Vitamin C and Zinc will help to support and boost out immunity.

2.KEEP MOVING

3.EATING WELL
As the winter progress it becomes tempting to start eating more of  those warm comforting foods that are often high in fat, sugar and salt. Instead we should opt for those of the warming and nourishing soups and stews which are full of winter vegetables and loaded with vitamins and minerals.
We should prepare our soups by adding lot of Garlic's, Thyme, Rosemary, Onion and winter vegetables's.

Regular moderate exercise and relaxation techniques and establishing a regular sleep method are really necessary for good sleep.

6.SKIN HEALTH
The cold weather effects a lot on our skin and contribute such as dry , itchy skin.This may be due to reduced humidity, drinking less water than the we normal do in summers.Due to less in take of water it leads to reduced circulation which may result in decreased blood flow and nutrients to skin. Using moisturizers which are loaded with naturals oil like cocoa, butter, Vitamin E when applied daily keeps the skin soft and supple.

Also incorporating foods which are loaded with natural oil, fish oil, omega fatty acids helps in managing these skin conditions.
