FITNESS: 5 ways to beat the Winter blues

Exercise!

As if we need another reason to get fit! Working out is a great way to beat those winter blues! When working out our body relseases endorphins which keep us in a positive mood! Being in a positive mood keeps up active and I a good mood – if we are in a good mood its more likely we’ll embrace the winter and make healthy, satisfying soups that will keep us beating those winter blues!

Eat a Healthy Diet!

We know that when the weather is dull we find it so much easier to lose track of healthy eating and head to the nearest chippy or fast food place. Eating a bad diet will only feed your bug and make you sick! Eating a bad diet also lacks vitamins which are essential part of a diet…no vitamins = a low immune system resulting in us catching all those bugs lurking!

Catch The Sun!

Ok, we know there isn’t much sun about in the winter or its icey out whilst the sun tricks us! Get wrapped up, and go embrace the winter sun…we’ll get plenty of Vitamin D, an essential vitamin for our body! Like exerciseing, being in the sun produces neurotransmitters that promote a healthy mind.
