For those of you who live in southern Europe, winter is still far away. However, for those of us inhabiting the obscure north (well, come on, I'm living in London) winter is already a reality. Coming down with something gets easier and easier as temperature falls. Therefore, we need to prepare ourselves!
- Soup is your new best friend. Cheap, easy to make, healthy and waaaarm.
- Drink a lot of liquids; water, juices, hot milk, tea, coffee... whatever floats your boat.
- Please remember to use skimmed milk (45 kcal/100 ml) if you want to cut down calories!
- Don't drink too much juice; it is extremely sugary.
- When drinking tea and coffee, be careful with the sugar (maybe alternate with saccharine?)
- Stay warm. I think that goes without saying.
Remember: exercising can also help to prevent your falling ill. If you can't go to the gym, either work out at home or go running. If you do the latter, wear scarves, gloves and maybe a bonnet, and even if you start sweating do not remove any of your clothes.
Winter is a wonderful time to exercise. Snow? Snow is great to gain some muscle and lose some weight! Skying, snowboarding, even just walking in the snow... Does it snow where you live? Take advantage of it!
- Important: The lower the temperature, the less calories you will burn while exercising. It's time to push yourself a little harder.
