Winter Sports Tips


Outside Activities for Winter

There are a lot of fun things to do outside in the winter. You can choose from sports and activities like Skiing, skating, snowshoeing, hiking and more but if you’re not prepared to be active outside it can be less than fun.

 

Tips for Outdoor Sports in the Cold

Here are some tips for getting active outside this winter.

  • Dress in Layers – Use a wicking layer close to your skin. A warm fleece or wool as a mid layer and a breathable outer shell to protect you from the wind and from overheating.
  • Stay Hydrated – You’re going to sweat and staying hydrated is just as important in the winter as it is at other times of year.
  • Protect Your Hands and Feet – Your extremities get cold faster in the winter. Be sure you’ve got a comfortable warm pair of socks. Wear Mittens when possible because they are often warmer than Gloves.
  • For Long Trips – Keep an extra set of dry clothes in the car.
  • Be Prepared – Take extra mittens / hat / socks / and a wicking layer with you.
  • Sun Protection – Don’t forget sunscreen and sunglasses. The Sun can reflect of the snow and intensify.
  • Check the Weather – Conditions can change quickly in the winter.

Follow these tips and get out there and find your winter adventure.

The 5 Best Supplements for Health and Wellness

  Why supplement? You can get a lot of nutrients from raw food however when food is cooked it becomes less nutritious. Also over farming degrades what was once nutrient dense soil. WHAT TO LOOK FOR IN A SUPPLEMENT – Quality – Source – Bio-availability – Delivery Method OMEGA 3 FATTY ACIDS For heart health, eye health, may help with arthritis, ADHD, Alzheimer’s Dementia and depression.
