So many factors impact our good health in winter – more time inside with heating, less natural circulation, less physical activity, less sunshine/vitamin D and being in close quarters with people. So, let’s look at our holistic winter health and wellness.
Some occupations like health care, teachers, carers, childcare, grocery store attendants can have a higher rate of exposure. Hence why it’s important to have a ‘health maintenance’ attitude to be proactive, rather than reactive when illness comes knocking.
So much of winter health information is glass half empty, but let’s look at it as a glass half full – we are already healthy, let’s maintain it.
Winter health maintenance – physical health
- Anas Barb homeopathy remedy is great preventative. Take one dose every couple of weeks during winter, or when exposed to someone unwell, is the traditional use for this remedy to support your immune system during flu season
- Stress Free essence provides support during times of stress, worry and overwhelm
- Work on things that are Immune Boosting
- Keeping up regular movement, preferable outside in the sunshine
- Gentle lymphatic massage can help the body release toxins, reduce swelling and support the immune system
- Maintain a good, clean diet with plenty of fresh fruit, vegetables and bone broth
Winter health maintenance – mental health
- Work on looking after yourself and self love as a priority
- Implement habits that keep stress levels low
- Good Vibrations essence keeps your vibe high and your heart chakra open to the gifts from the universe
- Keep in regular touch with friends and family
- Ensure plenty of natural sunlight to stimulate the production of serotonin which enhances mood
- Diet can impact mood. Some foods help your body to produce serotonin like eggs, nuts, seeds, bananas and dark chocolate, while eggs and fatty fish contain omega 3 fatty acids which helps brain function, potentially reducing anxiety and low mood
Winter health maintenance – spiritual health
- Your Spiritual Health is a good blog to read more about this topic
- Intuition flower essence blend is great for remaining in-tune with your inner wisdom and psychic protection
- Connecting with self – journaling, being in nature (the crisp, fresh air can be invigorating)
- Read – reading a range of topics by a range of authors to stimulate your philosophical side as you examine subjects from a differing perspective
