❄️ Staying Well Through Winter ❄️
Cold days and early nights are here — a perfect time to take extra care of our bodies and minds! 💙

Here are a few simple ways to stay well this winter:
✨ Boost your immunity with plenty of fruits, veggies, and warming meals.
💧 Stay hydrated — yes, even when it’s cold!
🚶‍♀️ Keep moving with walks, stretching, or indoor workouts.
🧣 Wrap up warm when heading outside.
🧼 Keep up good hygiene — wash hands regularly, cover coughs/sneezes, and keep surfaces clean to help prevent winter bugs from spreading.
💛 Look after your mental health — check in with yourself and reach out to friends or family if you need support.

Winter can be cosy and calm when we take care of ourselves. Stay warm, stay well, and be kind to yourself! ❄️💫
