Cold weather can bring problems such as fatigue, low mood or sleep problems. MACFit Özdilek Park Trainer Çağhan Aslan listed four suggestions to keep the mood high in cold weather, increase productivity and strengthen immunity:
1- Consume Energizing Foods
Cold weather is ideal for eating fish. Omega-3 fatty acids from fish support the healthy functioning of the brain. While consuming fish, healthier methods such as steaming or baking instead of frying can be preferred. Nuts such as pumpkin seeds, cashews or almonds should be consumed as a snack. You can get vitamin C from natural sources every day and green leafy vegetables can also be included in the diet. As in all seasons, it is necessary to drink plenty of water in cold weather.
2- Pay Attention to Your Sleep Pattern
It is noticed that the sleep pattern changes in cold weather. This is a natural process. Nature also slows down its cycle and prepares itself for winter. Especially the shortening of the days and the decrease in the level of serotonin taken from the sun rays in summer days can cause problems such as reluctance and fatigue. Therefore, activities that will keep the mind and body active, such as taking a new hobby and taking a walk in nature, can be done.
3- Increase Your Productivity
The winter period is a good opportunity to increase productivity. E.g; It is possible to do things that will change the energy, such as getting rid of unworn clothes and organizing a library. Online courses, which have become more popular recently due to the pandemic, can be attended. Cleaning the to-do list will increase life energy and happiness.
4- Take Care of Your Exercise Scheme
It is important not to interrupt the exercise order during the seasonal transitions. Regular exercise regulates the hormonal balance and increases the metabolic rate. You can take regular walks every day, or turn to exercises such as swimming or cycling. More importantly, you can sign up to gyms such as MAC and MACFit and make sports regular.
