New Delhi, December 11, 2018: As the winter sets in, we get ready to face it with room heaters, warm clothes, geysers. But all these external factors only help if our immune system is strong. This winter let’s get strong from within and keep all those winter blues at bay!
Winters definitely toss our healthy habits, the chilly and unpleasant weather makes it very difficult to find the motivation to hit the gym or head outdoors for exercises. Moreover, the additional time spent indoors means many of us snack more than we would typically at other times of the year. This might result in weight gaining which sidelines all the efforts we make throughout the year to stay fit. Paras Sharma – Brand Manager of Indian Earth Foods shares some easy tips to give a boost to your immune system by these simple habits and adding some superfoods to your diet.
REDUCE YOUR CARBS
The cold season tends to raise the cravings for more carbs and comfort foods. This happens because once you consume these delicious treats, your body releases a hormone called serotonin, making your brain think that you are happier. And as the day passes by, your carb cravings get stronger and stronger.
To counter this, try eating a protein-rich breakfast to keep your energy levels up throughout the day. If by the time the afternoon comes in and you are still craving sweets or carbs, be sure to consume low-fat and healthy snacks on hand.
ADD OMEGA-3 FATTY ACIDS
Omega 3 fatty acids are a healthy type of fat that is naturally found in a variety of foods including fish, plant seeds and nuts. Omega 3 fatty acids are great for reducing joint pain as they have natural anti-inflammatory properties. It also helps reduce depression. They are the perfect superfood for winters.
EAT MORE FIBRE
Fibers found in apples, oats, and nuts are important to decrease inflammation and boost the immune system. A fiber-rich diet helps reduce cholesterol levels in the body and helps overcome weight loss and protects against diabetes. This is very important for seniors who require a high-fiber diet to protect their digestive systems.
