🧘🏼♀️ 💊Exercise really is the best medicine 💊🥰
❄️ This time of year can be particularly difficult for many reasons.
☀️ As a summer person I always struggle with the dark mornings and evenings. It really can affect your energy levels, mood & motivation.
📣 These are my top tips for maintaining well being during the dark, colder months:
✅ Exercise….. Exercise ……. Exercise
When we exercise we produce feel good chemicals in the body 💊 Endorphins & Serotonin 💊 these chemicals boost our mood & have a role in managing pain.
🔆Any movement is good movement!!!
✅ Try and get some natural daylight ☀️ Even just a 10 minute walk outside can be enough to give us a boost…. A short walk at lunch time can feel really good 😊
✅ Stay hydrated …. Our bodies are 75% water 💧 so if we are dehydrated this can affect all of our body systems, especially our thinking & concentration 🧠
✅ Fuel yourself well….. 🥕 Slow release foods can be helpful to sustain energy such as non-starchy vegetables (e.g. cauliflower, broccoli and spinach) brown rice, oats, cereals, nuts and seeds. 🥦 🥜
✅ Stay connected 🗣️ it’s always good to talk! Make time to speak to friends & family, a good chat can always make us feel better!
