5 Ayurvedic self-care tips for winter

Try these common tips
Staying healthy and active in the winter season is quite challenging. Cold wind and gradual dip in the temperature can make anyone sick, especially if your immune system is not that strong. Falling sick can be very irritating and can hamper your work for days. But you cannot confine yourself within four walls during winter months.

This is where Ayurveda comes to your rescue. As per the ancient Indian medical system, by following some simple self-care tips you can brave the cold easily. Here are 5 Ayurveda recommended tips you can follow this winter season:

Turmeric milk
Most people drink coffee or tea to stay warm during the winter season. But caffeinated drinks do not help you that much. This season, give up on your warm cup of coffee and include healthy turmeric milk in your diet. Drinking turmeric milk or golden milk every day will keep you safe from nasty cold and flu. You can also add some spices like cinnamon powder and cardamom powder in your drink to make it more effective.
 
Massage
Massaging with essential oils, sesame oil or mustard oil will keep you warm, help you fight the cold weather and will keep your skin soft and smooth. You can massage your skin before taking a bath in the morning or before going to bed. Massaging also calms your mind, relieves stress and improves the quality of your sleep.
Coconut oil
Dry and frizzy hair is another common issue during the winter season. The cold wind takes away all the moisture from your hair. Use coconut oil to nourish and strengthen your hair during this season. Take a few drops of coconut oil on your fingertips and massage your scalp with it. Massaging with coconut oil will make your hair strong and shiny. 

Eat warm food
Our digestive system is weaker in the winter as compared to summer. So, try and avoid cold food in this season. When you eat cold food, your digestive system has to work harder to digest it. This often leads to indigestion and other stomach relates issues. Eat warm and easy to digest food to stay healthy. 
 
Stay active
To stay healthy in any season, it is crucial to stay active. It is a little difficult to get up in the morning and go for a walk in winter, but you have to do it to stay fit. You can also perform yoga at home if you do not like to go out. The main agenda is to stay active no matter what kind of exercise you perform.
