Winter Wellness Strategies

I would say to prepare for the winter, it's really important to maybe look at supplements. I know in England it's cloudy a lot of the time, so we're probably deficient in vitamin D. And I know that was tied into the COVID pandemic, as taking vitamin D was really important. vitamin C, you can get little light lamps. I do a lot of tapestry so I have a little light lamp which also helps with light deprivation and they're not very expensive. And a health care practitioner can also help with giving advice about like it's less easy to take exercise so I suppose you could find out where there There are, I know there's a really good health care center down the road, Kensington Health Care Center, not health care, but sports center. There's indoor swimming, there are weights, there are track machines, all those things that can, you can't do outside so much, you can do inside there. So maybe your health care practitioner could direct you towards those type of activities. I suppose you want to prepare by making sure your wardrobe is warm and that kind of thing, yes. And as I said before, it's quite good. It's not so easy to get fresh produce. A lot of the produce we get during the winter is shipped in from, you know, far, far away, Kenya or whatever. So I'm a great believer in buying things from the local markets and then preserving them as much as you can and just use jars, a little bit of vinegar, some salt, some sugar, some spices, and therefore you're kind of eating, I suppose, in a preserved way. You're still getting, you know, vegetables that have been locally produced. So I'd really look into doing that.
