As the days grow shorter and the nights colder, many of us find ourselves struggling to maintain our energy levels. Seasonal changes, especially the transition from summer to fall and then into winter, can have a significant impact on our physical and mental well-being. Fortunately, there are several strategies you can adopt to keep your energy levels high and stay vibrant throughout the colder months. In this blog post, we'll explore some effective ways to combat the winter slump and maintain your vitality, and now NAD+ supplementation can help. 

What Reduces Your Energy Levels?

During the autumn and winter months, there are a variety of environmental factors that lower your energy levels:

  • Reduced exposure to natural light
  • Changing sleep patterns
  • Reluctance to do outdoor physical activities
  • Seasonal diet changes
  • Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD)

Ways to Boost Them

As the days get shorter, exposure to natural light becomes limited. To combat this, make an effort to get outside during daylight hours, even if it's just for a short walk. Colder weather can be off-putting to some for outdoor physical activity, but it can help you feel more energised and less sweaty. It can also mean that parks and trails that are usually busy are free from the summer crowds. Natural light helps regulate your circadian rhythm and boosts your mood, so consider opening curtains and blinds during the day to let in as much sunlight as possible. This can also boost your overall mood by reducing the effect of Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD). However, still be mindful that even though it is cold, UV rays can still affect your skin so protect yourself with SPF when you are taking in the beneficial effects of the sun.

With the sun setting earlier, it's essential to prioritise a good night's sleep. Aim for a consistent sleep schedule by going to bed and waking up at the same time every day. Create a cosy sleep environment by keeping your bedroom dark and cool and invest in a comfortable mattress and pillows. Adequate sleep is crucial for recharging your energy levels and maintaining overall health.

Maintaining a healthy diet and staying hydrated in the colder months can be challenging. Dehydration can sap your energy, and you might not feel as thirsty in colder weather. Make it a habit to drink enough water throughout the day, even if you don't feel as parched. Herbal teas, warm water with lemon, and broths are excellent alternatives to cold drinks. With regards to food, wanting comforting dishes doesn’t have to mean compromising on nutrition. Take advantage of seasonal produce like carrots, sweet potatoes and apples. Food can also boost your NAD levels, combatting fatigue and brain fog at the time of the year they are most prevalent.
