for Winter! Get ready t

The days are getting shorter and there’s a chill in the air – winter is not far away!

The cold weather makes it easy to hunker down and slip into bad habits but it’s really important to keep an eye on your mental and physical health. Here are a few tips:

9 EAT HEALTHY. Comfort foods are really tempting when you’re curled up in front of the TV, but a balanced diet will support your immune system and energy levels. Make sure you incorporate seasonal fruits and vegetables into your diet.

9 MOVE! Take advantage of sunny days and enjoy a walk in the fresh air.

9 HYDRATE. Keeping up your fluids is important all year round – drink plenty of water or maybe a soothing herbal tea in the cooler evenings.

9 LOOK AFTER YOURSELF. The “winter blues” are a real thing, not just a catchphrase. Stay connected with friends and loved ones – catch up for a nice walk together, or a chat over coffee or lunch.

9 TALK TO US. We have a selection of products that can get you ready for winter’s bite, and sort out any cough and cold symptoms quickly. We are your local health professionals, and it’s our interests to keep you happy and healthy!
