10 Ways To Flourish In The Winter

Wintertime is the coziest time of year—especially when we think of snuggling up next to a fireplace, peering out at the picturesque snow-covered backdrop, and sipping a warm cup of tea. But as the temperatures drop and the weather gets gloomy, the winter blahs can sneak in, and it can become difficult to leave the comfort of home. Our prescription: harnessing the healing power of nature to help you flourish all winter long. Here’s how:

Banish Stress with Bs:

A comprehensive B-vitamin complex should be in everyone’s winter arsenal to combat stress and promote a healthy mood. B-complex vitamins refer to the eight water-soluble Bs that play an active role in a number of our bodily functions, including building neurotransmitters and helping enzymes to support energy production. Research has shown that B-complex vitamins can help promote a healthy mood, while also working to decrease perceptions of stress. In fact, a double-blind randomized, placebo-controlled study published in the Journal of Human Psychopharmacology found that the participants who supplemented with B-complex reported decreased anxiety and workplace stress, as well as improved mood after 90 days of use. Another study out of the University of Miami evaluated the effects of B-complex and found that adults who have been diagnosed with depression experienced significant improvement in their mental health with B vitamin supplements. In addition to supplements, a number of foods are rich in vitamin B, including salmon, leafy greens, eggs, beef, oysters, clams, legumes, chicken, turkey, yogurt, and nutritional and brewer’s yeast.
