For staying physically, emotionally and mentally fit during winters, we have shared in this blog some basic suggestions. These healthy living tips for winters are easy to practice and an inexpensive means to keep blues and sniffle of winters at bay.

Increase Your Vitamin D Levels

The most significant of all healthy living tips for winters is to raise your vitamin D levels. Maintaining good Vitamin D levels is important for improving the condition of heart, skin, immune system and brain. Contrary to popular beliefs, vitamin D levels can be increased naturally without taking supplements or bathing under sunlight. The best way to increase your vitamin D level naturally is by shedding off a few pounds. For instance, if you lose around 5 percent or more body weight, your Vitamin D levels will automatically increase. Alternative ways to raise Vitamin D levels include lowering your cholesterol levels, exercising, increasing the intake of fatty fish (salmon, wild salmon, etc.) Wild Salmon is a great source of vitamin D, whereas farmed salmon (comparatively) provides less vitamin D to the body.

Take Care of Your Skin

We might not realize this, but the use of Sunscreen becomes more important in winters. There are two sorts of Ultra-violet (UV) lights released from the sun that harm your skin: Ultra-violet ‘A’ (UVA) and Ultra-violet ‘B’ (UVB) light. UVB light infiltrates the surface layers of the skin and result in sunburns. It can also cause skin cancer, if it remains exposed to the sun continually. UVB rays are less damaging as we are guarded against it on daily basis through window glass (in house/ car) and they are less intense during the winter season. UVA light, on the other hand, infiltrates not only top, but also the deeper layers of skin, creating cell harm that can result in cancer. UVA light passes through window glass and maintains the same level of intensity throughout the year, making it hard to avoid. The only way to shield your skin is by applying Sunscreen.

Get Vaccinated Against Flu

One of the most essential healthy living tips for winters is to get vaccinated against flu. Most of the people are scared of the shot and try to avoid it. Thousands of people in the United States only die because of complications birthing from flu and thousands of them get hospitalized because of flu, every winters.
