It’s the beginning of February and we’re already asking: Is winter over yet? With the shortened days and the cold, blustery weather, it’s clear that we’re still not out of the woods – not by a long shot. So, our clever editors have put their heads together to come up with a variety of products that will help the body, mind, and spirit get through the remainder of what feels like a very long winter.
Give Your Body What It Needs
Each day, we work hard and play hard, often at the expense of our body’s overall health. We risk getting wrung out, stressed out, and succumbing to poor eating habits, all of which conspire to make us feel, well, crappy. It’s times like these that your body needs a boost to help it get back on track so you can be at the top of your game. We’ve got some suggestions that will help.
Exercise
We know, we know. You’re super busy. You don’t have the time, you’re too tired, you can’t afford a gym membership, etc., etc. You know it’s good for you, but you can’t seem to make it happen – at least with any regularity. We’ve come up with a few suggestions that just might spark that inner fire in you to start an exercise routine that’ll stick.
Sleep
Like diet and exercise, a good night’s sleep is vital to keeping your body and mind functioning correctly. It is estimated that between 50-70 million people in the U.S. suffer from insomnia, where they have difficulty falling asleep or are unable to stay asleep for long, leading to extreme fatigue and difficulty concentrating day in and day out. It therefore behooves us to look at natural solutions that ensure we get a good, solid night’s sleep.
Take care of your mental health
Considering how much of a role our mental health plays in each aspect of our lives, it’s vital that we practice regular self-care. Because different circumstances can affect our mental health, it’s important to keep our fingers on the pulse of our emotions, so to speak. Here are some suggestions on how to take the best possible care of you.
