NederlandsThe winter! Hot chocolate and all kinds of holidays take place in winter, but it is also a season of cold and dark days. And for some people the winter dip hits. That's why here are 7 tips to combat the winter dip, and to get through the winter season full of energy!
1. Go outside!
Dress warmly, put on warm shoes and go outside! Not only is it very beautiful outside when the leaves come down or when it has snowed. You also get more energy from the outside air and natural light! For example, download the app 'Ommetje' and compete against your friends, family or colleagues!
2. Stay Actief and move (in the open air)!
By staying nice and moving Actief , you also get more energy. You can do that through the gym, but don't make it harder than it is! Taking the bike to work or getting some fresh air during the lunch break: everyday life is full of moments when we can get some exercise.
3. Bring in the light
A winter dip has to do with the changes in the amount of light. In autumn, the days become shorter and the sun's strength decreases. So open the curtains and go outside to enjoy as much natural light or the sun as possible!
4. Spend the cold and dark days with people around you
Winter also brings atmosphere during the holidays and therefore moments that you can spend with your friends and family. Focus on the things that make you happy and plan fun activities. This is how we get through the gray days together.
5. Don't forget your vitamins!
Especially vitamin D (sun rays in a jar), omega-3 and the healthy proteins in that delicious stew are important in winter. In addition, eat lots of fruit and vegetables, but as little sugar as possible. Do not drink too much coffee and/or alcohol. This way you keep your body strong and healthy for the winter.
6. Talk about it
Once you have a good air of your heart, it can be good. The winter dip also applies: don't sit with it, but talk about it with your partner, your sister or your girlfriend. Maybe they recognize that gloomy, autumnal feeling and you won't turn out to be the only one who is having a harder time this period.
