1. Indulge in physical activity and maintain Vitamin D levels
It's very natural for us to avoid going out during winter. However, being so totally cut off from nature can make us fall sick. It would be a great idea to choose days when the sun is out and go for a jog or a long walk. Fresh air is always good for the body and sweating it out a little bit has never harmed anyone. A bit of sun will also help the body to maintain Vitamin D levels and ensure adequate levels of calcium and phosphorus which is vital for healthy bones. It would also be wise to plan a weekend getaway and pamper yourself with massages, yoga sessions, meditation, and physical activities such as biking or treks.

2. Consume winter fruits and vegetables
Winter is a time when you must consume green leafy vegetables, and fruits such as pomegranates, grapefruit, kiwis, oranges, pears, etc. It is also good to ensure that you detox your system and flush out toxins from your body to enhance your health. Have you noticed, when you consume the right kind of food, you suddenly feel much more refreshed on a certain day? However, It is not easy to do it consistently by oneself but enrolling in a curated detox program can be immensely beneficial. You might want to explore our YO1 Detox Program which also includes a nourishing vegan diet to feel refreshed and energized during the winter.
3. Protect your skin from dryness and itching:
Worried about bad skin days? Don’t worry, we’ve got your back! The winter air is cold and dry. It can absorb the moisture from your skin. The use of oil-based moisturizers and ensuring high water intake can help to maintain the moisture in the skin and prevent it from drying up. A massage is also a great way to enhance the condition of your skin. It can help to improve circulation, reduce toxins, and empower you with a healthy glow. At YO1, we offer many types of Ayurveda therapies like Abhyangam, Podikizhi, Udhwarthanam, Shirodhara and Naturopathy therapies. How about opting for a wellness package with us?
