The weather has started changing. A slight cold is beginning to be felt. According to the forecast, cold may increase in North India in the coming week. In such a situation, everyone will have to take more care of their health. According to Ayurveda, winter is the season in which immunity naturally increases. In cold weather, body temperature drops and the body undergoes thermoregulation to adapt to the new climate.
Sometimes this change can also bring many winter diseases, but if you take some precautions, you can avoid them and enjoy the winter season. So let us know how we can stay healthy in winter.
nutritious food
Eating a balanced diet containing whole grains, lean meat, fish, poultry, legumes, dried fruits, seeds, herbs, spices, fresh fruits and vegetables boosts immunity. We can also consume more foods rich in Vitamin C as it boosts immunity.
Exercise
Do physical activity to keep yourself fit in winter. You can keep your body warm by doing yoga, running, walking or strength training. Also, the immune system will be strengthened and there will be protection from seasonal diseases like flu or cold.
Moisturizer
Skin damage is a big danger in winter. Cold weather wreaks havoc on the skin, leaving it dry and itchy, chapped lips and cracked heels. Don't forget to apply moisturizer for skin care in winter.
Drink adequate amount of water daily and stay hydrated. Water helps cleanse our systems and remove toxins, deliver nutrients to the body's cells, and balance body fluids.
Good sleep helps keep the body's immune system healthy, removes the stress hormone cortisol and also helps muscles recover. Sleep is very important to maintain good health, so get at least 7-8 hours of deep sleep.
