As summer draws to a close and we head into the autumn/winter season, we need to make our health a priority. If you’re wondering how you can keep yourself in tip top shape for the last couple of months of the year, we’ve got 3 simple tips you can try.
Cold weather fitness
As the days get shorter and the nights longer, motivation to keep up with your summer fitness routine can significantly drop. Just like the temperature. You may have to adjust your fitness routine to stay in shape this winter and that’s okay. Exercising earlier in the day is one way of battling your change-of-season fatigue and it will set you up for the day. It’s all too easy to finish work under the cover of darkness and head straight home, or even to the pub, instead of getting in some exercise.
You may need to switch up your regimen too. If you’re an avid runner but find the cold too uncomfortable to run in, why not try an indoor class? Small changes such as this can help you keep fit during the darker, colder months.
Immunity boosters
It’s really important to take care of your immune system as the season changes. Cold weather can slightly suppress your immune system which means it might not be able to fight off winter bugs and viruses as easily. And it’s around this time of year that the viruses really start to rear their ugly heads. Flu season is almost upon us and not to mention the ongoing battle with COVID-19 – it’s time to make sure you and your immune system are ready for action. A good diet is key but you can also boost your immune system with NAD+ Immune Boosting IV Therapy. Our IV infusions utilise immune boosting ingredients to support your immune system and help deter illness. It contains a powerful Amino Blend with the addition of three powerful B vitamins along with a strong dose of the body’s most powerful antioxidant, glutathione.
Invest in a SAD lamp
Seasonal affective disorder (SAD) is a type of depression that comes and goes in a seasonal pattern. SAD is sometimes known as “winter depression” because the symptoms are usually more apparent and more severe during the winter. The exact cause of SAD is not fully understood, but the main theory is that a lack of sunlight in the shorter autumn and winter days might stop a part of the brain called the hypothalamus working properly. This has a knock on effect in terms of serotonin and melatonin production as well as disrupting your circadian rhythm. Symptoms of SAD include a persistent low mood, a loss of pleasure or interest in normal everyday activities, irritability, feeling lethargic during the day, sleeping for longer than normal and craving carbohydrates and gaining weight. One way to help combat SAD is by investing in a SAD lamp. SAD lamps simulate sunlight, which helps trigger the brain to release serotonin and can help regulate our body clock more effectively, to reduce the symptoms associated with seasonal affective disorder.
