6 Methods I Use To Stay Healthy During the Winter

1. Exercising

Maintaining a weekly workout schedule is a great way to stay healthy, increase the efficiency of your immune system and decrease the risk of heart disease. I workout four to five times a week and after the end of every workout, I feel better than when I first walked into the gym! We can read about the great benefits of going to the gym and workout out, but nothing will serve you better than going in and putting in the hard work.

2. Juicing Vegetables

Most of the juices we can buy at the grocery store have lots of sugar added in for taste. The juice has usually been heat processed, which destroys several of the nutrients it would have had. And to make things worse, the juice manufacturers water down the juice with water or sugar water. If you try juicing your own fruit and vegetables, you'll instantly notice how much more nutritious your homemade juice is. The difference between store bought and home made juice is night and day.

3. Meditating

Taking time out of my busy day to sit in a quiet space and meditate helps me to improve my state of mind. Reguarly meditating helps me to feel thankful for what I have, and eager to achieve more. My focus increases, my drive increases, and my inner peace is more prominent than ever before. If you look at brainwave scanners during meditation, you'll see how the brain activity lights up!

4. Sleeping

Getting a good night's sleep is the number one way to stay healthy. If you feel like you don't have enough time to sleep 7 to 8 hours per night, then think again! Getting a good night's sleep will not only help your mind think better, it will help your immune system regenerate, fight off cold viruses and help your imagination thrive during stressful situations.

5. Walking In Nature

There's something magical about taking a walk through the trees, breathing in the fresh mountain air, and no one can quite describe exactly what happens. We are earthlings, and the ecosystems supporting life around the earth couldn't exist without nature, trees and plants, both above and below water! Taking some time away from the day-to-day life of the city and relaxing with mother nature will regenerate your mind, help you find inspiration that you haven't felt before, and increase your overall happiness.

6. Nutrition Supplementation

I don't get all the essential vitamins in my diet consistently, even though I juice vegetables regularly, obtaining a wide variety of the organic vegetables is hard to do during the winter season. So I take supplements and nano supplements. Whole food oragnic supplements are my favorite, because whole food supplements aren't vitamin extracts, they contain nature's intended vitamins and minerals found in food.

Conclusion

Hopefully we've covered some ideas that will benefit you in the upcoming winter months. Stay healthy my friends!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
