Radiator heat has kicked in, making this season very dry inside many homes. Hydrating, both internally and externally, will make all the difference in how you feel by keeping the nasal membranes and the skin moist and resilient. Itchy, dry, cracked skin can lead to more misery throughout these winter months. Adding coconut oil to your favorite healthy lotion can help replenish lost moisture. Drinking water as soon as you wake is a good routine to start. Ensuring proper hydration throughout the day will also give you more energy and clarity. Using a humidifier in bedrooms and the main area of your home will add moisture to the air, creating a more comfortable home and body. Don’t forget to frequently clean your humidifiers to avoid mold build-up.
These three ideas are simple ways to help this winter season be more healthy, happy–hydrated–and comfortable!
