With the deepest part of winter still ahead, now is the time to prioritize mental health and wellness.
The winter months can be tough, with short days, frigid temperatures, and increased isolation taking a toll on mental well-being.
To combat the blues, health experts recommend regular exercise, a healthy diet, and consistent sleep patterns. They also suggest staying connected with friends and family, either in person or virtually, and practicing mindfulness and meditation.
Additionally, techniques such as journaling and relaxation exercises can help manage mental health.
