With less sweat and less thirst, you might end up cutting down on your water during winter intake but don’t! Adequate water is absolutely necessary to avoid being vulnerable to cold and dehydration can take a serious toll on our immune system. Also, why let your skin feel dry when just drinking water can maintain its glow?

#2 Moisturize

Winter makes it really tough to keep yourself energised. All you really want to do is sleep or eat a hot bowl of Maggi but fun fact- one tends to burn more calories in winters. So, if you exercise regularly, you are not just saying yes to being healthy but also a huge yes to the variety of comfort food you will no more feel guilty to eat.

#4 Make yourself some herbal tea
