Tips for adapting to the winter period
If you don't want to gain weight and feel tired all the time, read carefully.
By moving the clock, the days are getting shorter and we are slowly approaching winter.
Just as there are changes in nature, so too within people.
Unfortunately, many people do not understand how perfectly attuned we humans are to nature, and I keep repeating that by carefully observing nature, they will get many answers.
The only animal that gets fat in winter is man. But the cause of this is not only food, but also something that is not talked about at all, which is the artificial lighting that we are exposed to in the winter, considering that it gets dark around 5 p.m.
And now imagine someone who works classically 8-16 or 9-17, the whole day goes by without seeing daylight, but that period while there is sun outside is closed within 4 walls under strong artificial lighting.
What a stress it is for the body and psychophysical health, considering that every organ in our body has its own circadian rhythm and activates or deactivates depending on the light, and unfortunately artificial lighting is recognized as the day begins instead of ending.
The result is like eating junk food, if not worse.
So I recommend that in this coming period, every free moment you can expose yourself to daylight and sun.
Spend your lunch breaks outside.
Before going to work, be sure to expose yourself to daylight for at least 15 minutes in the morning.
As for nutrition, now is the ideal time to practice some kind of fasting, and it would be ideal to eat during the period of daylight, which, depending on where you live, is between 7 and 6 p.m.
Be sure to avoid feeding late at night, because this, along with the additional stress from artificial lighting, is very bad for our body.
As for training, also avoid high-intensity training after 7 p.m., because you're probably doing more harm than good.
Winter is a period of calming down and slowing down, and if we want optimal psychophysical health, then we need to adapt to it.
I hope these tips will help someone.
