Top Health Tips: Your Guide to Feeling Fab this Winter
by Andrew Mitchell
When that northern gust threatens to sweep us off our feet,
and when half our colleagues are on sick leave to the flu,
we know it can only mean one thing: winter is approaching.
Winter has a way of getting to us with all the nasty that it
brings with it: exhaustion, cold, illness, depression not
exactly something to look forward to. In order to counter
that, we have scavenged the globe for the most useful tips
on how to prevent those coughs and sniffles this winter,
ranging from dietary tips to advice on how to spend your
free time. Here are some words of wisdom from some of our
most valued experts:
Your Nutritionist says: Consume carbs, carbs, carbs! Forget
Atkins, forget low-carb diets, your body needs carbohydrates
in order to keep itself warm throughout the winter. Don't
overdo it, of course - keep in mind that everything is best
consumed in moderation. What is essential to a healthy diet
is to eat quality foods (whole foods, starch, protein,
veggies) in the right quantities.
Your GP says: Build up your defences in as many ways as you
can. One of the ways you can do this is by getting the flu
jab. Modern medicine is a wonderful way of tacking
long-existing illnesses. Other ways to boost your immune
system are to take vitamin tablets and to get plenty of
rest. A few extra hours of sleep a night will also increase
your chances of staying healthy, doing miracles for your
mind as well as your body. Also get some extra nutrients in
addition to your daily meals, such as Zinc, Iron, and
Vitamin C, will help strengthen your defences against the
inevitable flues and sniffles that come knocking at your
door at this time of year.
Your Osteopath says: Don't just treat the symptoms of a
disease - treat the root cause of it. Various forms of
muscularskeletal manipulation tackle illnesses straight at
the source. Ancient Asian practice such as acupuncture and
acupuncture are excellent examples of such practices, as
they help channel the energy that is stored in the body and
create a sense of internal balance. A deep-tissue skin
massage is also a great way to keep your body in good shape.
It will loosen your stiff muscles and joints and stimulate
blood flow in a healthy manner. Go on; treat your external
problems from within.
Your Psychologist says: Relax. Take a break from your daily
stresses and go on holiday to Spain or the French Alps this
winter - anywhere that is tranquil, sunny, and offers the
opportunity to get some exercise. Many people suffer from
seasonal depression at this time of year, which is largely
due to the absence of sunlight. You won't believe how much
sunlight influences your physical and emotional wellbeing,
so make sure you get plenty this winter.
Now that you are armed with these expert perspectives on how
to stay healthy, you are ready to face the challenges of
winter head-on and, come spring, you'll resurface as being
as strong as you did going in. - 15668
