My Hacks to Stay Healthy this Winter

Welcome back to another newsletter!

The winter season can make staying healthy feel extremely difficult. The days are shorter, it’s freezing outside (depending on where you live), and getting your steps in can feel impossible. But with a few simple tweaks, you can stay on track without overcomplicating things.

1. Healthier Comfort Food Swaps – Winter meals don’t have to ruin your progress:
   •    Swap packaged mashed potatoes for homemade versions with sweet potatoes or cauliflower
   •    Skip creamy soups—go for veggie-packed broths
   •    Craving dessert? Bake an apple with cinnamon for a warm, healthy treat

2. Quick Workouts – Skip the excuses and shift your mindset… you CAN exercise. Here’s a quick workout you can do anywhere:
   •    20 squats
   •    10 push-ups (modify if needed!)
   •    30-second plank
   •    15 jump squats
   •    Repeat 3x

3. Boost Immunity Naturally: Stay ahead of winter bugs with these simple tips:
   •    Hydrate! Add lemon or ginger for an extra boost
   •    Eat more vitamin C-rich foods (oranges and bell peppers)
   •    Consider elderberry or zinc for added support. I love all of Beekeeper’s Naturals’ products for immune support

4. Fight the Winter Slump: Dark days can drain your energy. Trust me—I get it:
   •    Take a vitamin D supplement
   •    Get outside for a few minutes of daylight; the sun will do wonders for your mood
   •    Stick to a consistent sleep schedule—it’s a game-changer that is very underrated

5. Plan Ahead for Success: When the winter blues hit, planning keeps you consistent:
   •    Meal prep healthy dishes that you’ll enjoy
   •    Lay out your workout clothes the night before to eliminate excuses (it works!)
   •    Set small, achievable daily goals like drinking more water or getting 1,000 extra steps than usual

You’ve got this – I know you do. A little effort goes a long way in staying healthy and feeling your best this season.
