With cold temperatures, the desire to curl up by the fire, cook up comfort food and be sedentary, winter can be hard to make healthy living a priority when all you want to do is hibernate.
However, the time for longer days and warmer weather are nearly here which means more time outside and soaking up the sun. Spring that sweet period between winter and summer is here. The days are neither cold nor hot and there is no better time to re-evaluate your physical and mental wellbeing. Spring is a time for renewal.
Here are a few ways to do just that:
Get Your Physical Activity Up
If you have been hibernating during the winter months, it is time to get out there and work towards your summer body. There are so many positives associated with increasing your activity levels. These include reducing the risk of developing heart disease, stroke, and diabetes, lowering your blood pressure, improving your mood, reducing stress, etc.
In a study by the University of British Columbia, it was found that regular aerobic exercise improves brain function. Essentially, it increases the size of the hippocampus, the brain area involved in verbal memory and learning.
Aim for at least 30 minutes of physical activity five days of the week. Walk, swim, dance – whatever tickles your fancy. You may even consider taking up a new sport this spring.
