Stay Warm Naturally
Have you noticed…….EVERYONE is talking about whether to put the heating on or not and how they can minimise their gas and electric bills.
So lets prep and get our WELLBEING in tip top shape before the winter arrives and you can stay warm naturally!
Gentle Exercise and Stretch Each Morning
Starting your day with gentle exercise and stretching can significantly enhance your physical and mental well-being. A routine helps wake up your body, boost circulation, improve flexibility and give you mental clarity.
2. Wearing natural fibres and thin layers
This is an effective way to regulate body temperature and enhance comfort throughout the day. Natural fibres like cotton, wool, and linen allow your skin to breathe while providing insulation when needed.
Thin layers can be easily added or removed, giving you the flexibility to adapt to changing temperatures or environments with added comfort too.
3. Go for a walk in the fresh air.
Walking in fresh air enhances your body's warmth, especially in colder months. Moving your body generates heat, raising your internal temperature and improving blood flow to your extremities. Fresh air invigorates your senses, encourages deeper breathing, and may boost your energy levels. Time outside can also uplift your mood, as natural light regulates your circadian rhythms and increases serotonin. To enhance these benefits, dress for the weather and choose brisk walking routes, keeping warm while enjoying the outdoors and admiring the colours and scenery nature provides.
4. Hot water bottles
Hot water bottles are a simple yet effective way to stay warm during the colder months. They provide soothing warmth that can help alleviate discomfort from aches, pains, or even menstrual cramps.
Incorporating a hot water bottle into your evening routine can create a comforting ritual, promoting relaxation and warmth, perfect for chilly nights.
5. Nourishing Stews
Stews are versatile, nourishing meals. Keeping a balance of fats, protein and carbs you are ensuring energy, cell growth and repair to maintaining a strong immune system and they are super tasty too!
6. Stretch again after lunch or dance in the kitchen
Keeping your circulation and feel good hormones flowing!
Endorphins, serotonin, dopamine….you name it, movement keeps them all flowing in balance.
7. Wear double socks!
That a given! Stay snuggly with that stack of socks you have stashed away at the back of your wardrobe.
8. Body Tapping
Stand up and tap all over your body with your hands.
Massage around your lymph areas, neck, arm pit, inner elbows, groin, back of knees with the heal of your hand. Feel invigorated!
