As the days start to feel colder the urge to stay in and cozy may becoming stronger
But before you get the blankets, cup of tea and good book, there are a few reasons why walking in the cold is good for your health …
Higher calorie burn – your body burns 10-20% more energy as it works to maintain core temperature and stays warm
Supports your immune system – physical activity combined with cold air exposure can stimulate white blood cell production and enhance immune surveillance.
Mood booster – natural outdoor light even on overcast days can boost endorphins and help with S.A.D disorder
Circadian rhythm – natural light can synchronise your circadian rhythm for better sleep
So why not get outside blast away the way the cobwebs burn some extra calories … Then snuggle up at home with well earned tea and cake.
