In just a few short weeks, winter will officially begin. But depending on where you live, the winter weather is already here and it may already be taking a toll on the healthy lifestyle you’ve worked hard for. Whether you typically eat too much comfort food and desserts, or exercise less (or not at all), winter can really hurt your health. This year, instead of sitting back and accepting the unhealthy changes in your life, make an early resolution to stay active, eat right, and in the process, help ward off seasonal depression. Sounds easy, right? Read more…

It may be hard to resist the temptation of holiday meals like rib roast, chocolate, candies, and cocktails, but I swear sooner or later you’ll regret that you overindulged at this time of the year.

But hey, it’s not a bad thing to at least keep your body clean and healthy by consuming more detox foods for winter. Plus, they will boost your metabolism, which in turn will help you avoid the unwanted weight gain.

Don’t forget to drink plenty of water every day – at least 8 glasses, to be exact. Just because it’s winter doesn’t mean your body won’t suffer from dehydration. Consider a vitamin D supplement as well, since the sun is hardly shining these days.
