Are you tired of winter yet? Feeling trapped indoors and ready for a great big pick-me-up? Winter can be a whole lot of fun … but the dark days and cold air can sap away your mental and physical get-up-and-go.
What can you do?
Dr. Steven Joyal, M.D., Vice President of Science and Medical Affairs for Life Extension offered these tips:
- Physical Energy and Performance – Winter is the time for avoiding the outdoors and the cold, which means less outdoor workout activity. Supplements that can maximize the benefits of the workout you are getting can help sustain vitality, energy and performance levels. (Try CoQ10 or D-Ribose for boosting cellular energy).
- Mental Energy – Lack of sunlight and other factors can contribute to the “winter blahs”, a lack of mental energy and easy fatigue with even simple cognitive tasks. Supplements that have been shown to have a role in supporting a healthy, active mind (Try Rhoodiola, Ashwagandha, or Fish Oil)
- Post-sickness energy recovery – After battling a cold or flu, it is important to keep energy levels up (Try Vitamin C with Dihydroquercetin and CoQ10)
