However, it should not be so hard to save health during the winter. There are few ways for preparing the body for cold weather. The most important is to stay on the common daily routine as much as possible. Do not change habits that you had before winter and holidays.
Food
The first thing that we change during the winter is nutrition. We must admit that there is no fresh food in markets. However, there are other reasons for that.
- People are usually under stress before holidays and do not much think about the food;
- Considering low temperature, our body needs a warm and fast meal that will bring back energy – unfortunately, we usually buy fast food;
- We know that it is hard to walk when the holidays season is, we late literally everywhere so it is not easy to think about the cooking and preparation of the food;
- Usually, people eat much more during the holiday season;
- People take food as comfort and consolation – it is hard to save health during the winter when eating so much mostly with candy and sweets.
The most important during the holiday is consuming as much healthy food is possible. Healthy nutrition is a model for a healthy and long life. There are few ways to achieve that.
Take more proteins
When our body loses energy, it asks more carbs. However, it is not that smart replacement. Carbs increase the energy, but shortly, and then drops it again. Our body demands a new dose of energy but taking more carbs presumes more calories. The smart resolution is more fish and other proteins.
Eat more C vitamin
Well, everybody knows that we should eat more C vitamin, food and vegetables. However, there are no many green vegetables in Serbia. Or, it is better to say, we do not have a habit to eat them. Do not avoid them anymore. Put vegetables like kale, spinach, and mangel as a daily routine.
Eat more herbal spices
People in Serbia mostly eat salt and pepper as the only spices. However, in order to save health during winter take an herbal replacement. That presumes thyme, basil, and oregano.
Practice more

Practice as much you can outdoor
