Remember the trifecta. Exercise. Any form of physical activity during winter helps reduce stress and
anxiety, enhances mood, and boosts your immune system. It also releases happiness hormones and will lift your spirits and energy levels like nothing else. So, don’t talk yourself out of it: Schedule a workout and get it done!
Hydration. One of the best things you can do for your health is to drink optimal amounts of water every day. Water plays a big role in your health, including increased metabolism, skin hydration, and immune health. Your body is mostly made of water, so making sure you stay hydrated will help keep you healthy. Diet. Allowing yourself sweet treats, in moderation, can keep you from feeling
deprived. Finding a healthy balance is key, however, as poor nutrition can harm your immune system, contribute to lower energy levels, and increase your vulnerability to infections. Balance the indulgences with a healthy, seasonal diet, and eat foods high in vitamins and omega-3 fatty acids to give your body the essentials it needs to function. —Lisa Robinson, General Manager; Mark Cavallaro, Head Personal Trainer; and Heather Crivellone, Nutritionist & Personal Trainer, Roseville Health & Wellness Center, rosevillehwc.com
