Even the most dedicated exercise enthusiast can have a hard time in winter, but there are simple ways to get motivated when the weather outside is frightful.
One tip is to exercise during your lunch break. Many people get frustrated when it’s dark in the morning and dark when they come home from work. The solution is to work out in the middle of the day, during the peak light hours.
Head to the gym or take a brisk walk during lunch hour. If there’s too much snow in the way, head to a nearby mall or shopping center for an indoor stroll.
Follow the link for 11 exercise tips to keep you motivated during winter. |

t’s the sneezing season! Besides getting the flu shot, it’s helpful to chow down on cold-and flu-fighting foods to protect yourself from circulating bugs that can make you sick.
Your top choice may be pink grapefruit, which packs 75 mg of vitamin C, a full day’s worth for women, says health and nutrition expert Joy Bauer. It also contains an impressive amount of beta-carotene, which is converted by the body to vitamin A. Vitamin A has many functions, but one of its most important is to act as an antioxidant that can help boost immunity. It also plays a role in keeping the mucous membranes that line the nose, sinuses and mouth healthy.
Follow the link to see all 3 immune-boosting foods recommended by Joy Bauer. |

| Even when we know people’s names, why do we go for days without using them? By using someone’s name, you help them feel seen and acknowledged — and that’s an act of kindness. According to kindness.org’s research in collaboration with the University of Oxford, doing a kind act increases happiness, well-being, trust and compassion. And it can have the same powerful effect on those who receive the act. Try it, and put a smile on both your faces. |
