When you are on the go during the winter months it is important to take good care of yourself and your family in order to stay healthy. Winter is the time of the year when many people experience a drop in their moods and immunity and watch their waistlines increase. This is especially true if you are lacking sunshine. The following are some simple lifestyle changes you can adopt to stay healthy during this blustery season!
Sound Slumber for Sunnier Moods
While there’s generally no hesitation for spending extra time in bed, make sure you’re getting quality sleep and enough of it, as loss of sleep can dramatically impact mood. In addition, try to adjust your wake time to be in alignment with the sun to help the body’s Circadian rhythms, as research shows that a disrupted body clock causes depression and lethargy.
Get Physical
While you may or may not reap the benefits from outdoor exercise during the winter depending on your location, you don’t have to abandon a workout regimen completely. More and more research suggests that moderate, regular exercise supports a strong immune system, not to mention how this combats stress. Some ideas to keep you moving and fit are to hit the gym, watch an exercise DVD in your living room or invest in equipment you can use at home such as free weights or a treadmill.
It’s not your imagination… you are hungrier in the winter! The body’s natural response to cold weather is to constrict the skin’s pores and superficial connective tissue to help deter heat loss, which redirects body heat into the core, including the stomach. To fill up without adding extra calories, choose nutritious and satisfying foods such as low sodium soups, stews, steamed vegetables, and oatmeal. Try eating a little more lean protein to stay full longer, such as eggs, beans, chicken and fish.

After use, most cleaning chemicals end up making the journey from our homes down the sink, toilet and drains into our environment via the sewer or waterways. Many of these chemicals can have harmful effects, not just to our environment but also on other life forms dependent on it.If many of these chemicals are not good for our environment should they really be used in our homes or around our bodies?
With the Norwex chemical-free antibacterial microfiber system you don’t breathe, touch or ingest chemicals. Dirt, dust, grease and bacteria are removed instead of spread around your home, creating a cleaner indoor climate, and reducing allergens.
Germs grow in damp cleaning cloths, full of chemicals and grime. This is why we need a cloth that not only picks up dirt and grime without releasing it onto other surfaces, but a cloth that inhibits bacterial growth.
