And here comes the winter, apparently year’s beloved party season. From picnic to parties, from outings to bonfire this is the best time to live life a bit extra, courtesy to the holidays, festivals and weddings! But this is again a time when you need to take some extra care of your health- including skin and hair.   

Banish winter tiredness

Many people feel tired and sluggish during winter. This is due to the lack of Vitamin D- as during winters we are to get less access of sunlight, which disrupts our sleep and waking cycles. Drinking milk followed by a healthy lifestyle can help reducing winter tiredness. The immediate benefit of drinking warm milk before bed is that it allows you to sleep like a baby by keeping your body relaxed and calm

Try the following tips to get rid of winter laziness:

• Try to get outdoors in natural daylight as much as possible
• Try  to go to bed and wake up at the same time every day
• Try meditation or exercise to distress which often makes you feel tired
• Eat more fruits and veggies

You are more likely to get a cold in winter, so make sure your immune system is in a fine condition. And to boost your immune system having milk is a must. You can opt for semi-skimmed or skimmed milk instead of full-fat milk. Milk and dairy products such as yoghurt and ghee are great sources of the following nutrients:

• Protein
• Vitamins A and B12
• Calcium, which helps keep our bones strong

Why should you drink more milk in winters?

Boosts immunity: For people who are prone to viral infections, drinking turmeric milk can do wonders. It has proved to be one of the best home-made remedies to improve one's general immunity. Drinking a cup of turmeric milk or plain warm milk in the morning or before bedtime can keep cold and flu at bay.

Relieves from cough and cold: A cup of warm milk with honey or with turmeric are proven for relieving the symptoms of cough and cold.

Detoxify body and nourish it: Drinking milk can help you cope with indigestion while relieving gas and bloating. Add a little ginger if not turmeric to detoxify your system and nourish it at its best.

Cures joint and muscle pain: Low-level joint pain or muscle pain is quite common during cold weather. The anti-inflammatory property of turmeric milk can help cure the pain.

Cures sinus congestion: Drinking warm milk increases the mucus flow and lightens its texture, thus promoting sinus drainage. It can also prevent frequent headaches induced by sinus.

Make a Habit to Stay Active

Don't use the cold winter months as an excuse to stay in and feel cozy. Instead, stay active, plan outings, and get out with the whole family, friends to try out a new activity. Regular exercise helps control your weight, boost your immune system, and is a good way to break the monotony of life, stress or depression.

 So enjoy winters with a great health; provided with proper diet, exercise, healthy lifestyle and ofcourse a glass full of Purabi milk every day.
