Staying Healthy During the Winter
Cold winter months bring unique health challenges, from increased risk of respiratory illnesses like the flu to dry skin and disruptions in healthy routines. Staying healthy during this season is essential for maintaining your energy, preventing illness, and supporting both physical and mental well-being. When temperatures drop, we tend to spend more time indoors, which can lead to less physical activity, changes in eating habits, and greater exposure to seasonal viruses.
