About staying healthy in the winter, what would you tell them based on your own experience? I think many people don't realize the impact that the weather and the fact that we have the shorter days can have on your mental well-being. So you might be thinking, oh, why am I feeling so tired or not energetic. You don't realize that it's actually the weather that is impacting your health. So just making sure that people are aware of that. Don't be too hard on yourself because you know it's the weather that is impacting your well-being as well and your energy levels and stuff like that. So making sure people are aware of that and there are things that you can do at home to keep up the energy levels or like even just driving to the gym. It doesn't have to be outdoors because it's so cold but there are other places you could go during winter that still have activities and things. It could be like a community center where they still have classes and fitness classes or it could be some Zumba class at your gym or things like that. So there's still stuff that you can do out there but it's just making sure that you are aware of what's going on, keeping in touch with other people to keep your mood levels high and not being isolated. So it's still trying to keep in touch with people and calling up a friend or a family member to see how they are doing as well. Very important indeed.
