Northern hemisphere folk, winter is coming and we should all be prepared.

Physical Health:

This time of year many people become less active. Proper nutrition and vitamins and minerals can be very beneficial.

To keep from becoming sick it's always wise to clean your hands before and after you eat. Many germs and viruses can enter the mouth and nose area.

With the days cold and dry it's also wise to take special note to the dryness of your sinuses. I believe that many winter illnesses may be attributed to dry/cracked sinuses. Proper hydration is very important. To keep your sinuses from drying out in the night, lightly cover your sinuses to increase heat and humidity to balance out sinus hydration.

Nutrition is essential for proper body processes. One mineral that is often overlooked in the winter is salt. Even though you are not sweating much of your dehydration is from breathing. Salts will help your body to retain that hydration. Vitamins are important and also aid in body processes and mental health. Vitamin C and zinc to boost your immune system, vitamin B (I think they are antioxidants), vitamin E and D (I think they are fat based?). E will often work like blood thinner (K is to thicken) and D can be for mental health.

Mental Health:

I believe Vitamin D can be very important for winter time mental health because just like sunlight it keeps you from getting that cabin fever winter blues shit.

Try and keep your mind active by reading and doing puzzles or games.

Supplies:

Make sure you have a redundant heat and cooking sources.

Bonus Safety Tips:

Slow the fuck down when driving in shitty road conditions. If your dumbass is late, just face it, you done fucked up. Remember late ='s late regardless. Don't go so slow that you kill someone because you're too afraid to drive. You should have either stayed at home or not boughten the piece of shit you can even fucking drive.
