Winter Days – Self-care is the best care

Winters are beautiful for some and devastating for others. Well, it is a natural phenomenon. Let us all embrace it with some healthy winter tips.

Staying active and healthy in the winter season can be quite challenging. The gradual drop in the temperature and cold wind can make anyone sick, especially if your immune system is not strong. Falling sick can be very annoying and can hamper your work for days. But can you confine yourself within four walls during winter months? No right!

This is where self-care during winter days comes to your rescue. Just by following some simple self-care tips can make you brave and help you fight against the cold easily.

Here are 5 recommended tips that you can follow this winter season:

• Turmeric milk

Many of us have a habit of drinking tea and coffee to keep our body warm during the winter season. But these drinks do not help you that much. So give up on your caffeinated drinks and include healthy turmeric milk in your plan. Drinking turmeric milk every day helps keep you safe from nasty flu and cold. You can add some savoury spices like cardamom powder and cinnamon powder in your drink to make it more effective and beneficial.

• Massage

Massaging your body with rich essential oils like mustard oil or sesame oil can help you keep your body warm and fight against the cold weather and also keeps your skin smooth and soft. You may massage your skin with the oil before heading into the shower in the morning or maybe before going to bed. Massaging also relieves stress, calms your mind and also improves your sleep quality.

• Coconut oil

Frizzy and dry hair is yet another common problem during the winter season. The cold and dry wind takes away all the good moisture from your hair. But using coconut oil not only nourishes but also strengthens your hair during this season. Take a few drops of this oil on your fingertips and massage your head and scalp with it. Massaging your head with coconut oil also makes your hair shiny and strong.

• Eat warm food

Our digestive system is not that strong during winter as it is during summer. So, try to avoid cold food this season. When you eat or drink cold food, your digestive system has to work two times harder to digest it. This often leads to indigestion and other stomach related problems. Eat warm and simple to digest food to stay healthy.

• Stay actively

No matter which season it is staying fit and active is very crucial. But it gets a little challenging to get up in the morning and go for a refreshing walk in winter, but stop procrastinating and go! You can also perform some home yoga if you are too lazy to go out. The main goal is to stay active no matter what kind of exercise you perform.
