Eight Winter Warmer Tips

Updated: Mar 21

If you're in the Southern Hemisphere, winter is approaching, and it’s time to boost immunity, stay warm, and nourish your body.


Here are my top tips to keep you feeling your best this season! ☃️🌿



🔥 1. Stay Warm & Protect Your Energy

Keeping warm is essential in Traditional Eastern Medicine, especially in areas like the back of your neck, lower back, knees, abdomen, and feet. These areas house key meridians that support kidney energy, which is directly linked to your life force.


Tips to stay warm:

✅ Layer up with warm clothes

✅ Use heat packs or hot water bottles when sitting or sleeping

✅ Avoid exposing your body to cold drafts

✅ Keep your feet covered to avoid energy depletion


🍵 2. Eat Warming Foods & Drinks

During winter, opt for nourishing, easy-to-digest, cooked meals that support your digestive fire, immune system, and overall health.

❌ Avoid cold/raw foods, especially straight from the fridge, as they can weaken digestion.

✅ Best cooking methods: Slow cooking, pressure cooking, soups, and stews


🥘 Warming Foods & Herbs

  • Proteins: Lamb, chicken, mussels, anchovies

  • Spices & Herbs: Cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cardamom, fennel, cloves, rosemary, bay leaves

  • Legumes & Nuts: Lentils, adzuki beans, pine nuts, walnuts

  • Root Veggies: Sweet potatoes, leeks, spring onions


🥦 Vegetables In Season

Broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, carrots, cauliflower, celery, onions, parsley, potatoes, pumpkin, spinach, turnips


🍊 Fruits In Season

Apples, bananas, grapefruit, kiwi, lemons, limes, mandarins, oranges, pears


💡 TIP: Always eat seasonally—these foods are nutrient-dense, fresher, and better for the environment!


💧 3. Hydration: Don't Forget Water!

In winter, we often forget to drink water since we don’t feel as thirsty. However, staying properly hydrated is crucial for immunity, energy, and detoxification.


✅ Drink room-temperature or warm water

✅ Herbal teas are excellent alternatives

✅ Use a quality water filter to remove toxins

🏃‍♀️ 4. Keep Moving

Winter makes us less active, but staying physically engaged prevents stagnation, stiffness, and low energy.


✅ Gentle movement is best:

  • Yoga, Tai Chi, Qi Gong, walking → Keep energy flowing

  • Stretching & light exercise → Improve circulation & flexibility


💤 5. Prioritize Sleep & Rest


Winter is the season of rest and rejuvenation. Lack of sleep weakens immunity and increases stress.


✅ Follow your body’s rhythm—aim to sleep early & wake up naturally

✅ Reduce screen time before bed

✅ Create a warm, cozy sleep environment


💡 Extra Tip: Align your sleep cycle with the sun as much as possible!


☀️ 6. Let The Light In & Balance Blue Light Exposure

Natural light exposure is crucial for:

  • Mood regulation (reduces winter blues!)

  • Vitamin D absorption

  • Strengthening immunity

✅ Spend 20-30 mins in sunlight daily (arms, legs, chest)

✅ Reduce screen time at night

✅ Use blue light filters or yellow/red bulbs

✅ Try blue light blocking glasses at night


✨ 7. Self-Reflection & Inner Work

Winter is a time for introspection, self-care, and stillness.

✅ Practice self-care activities:

  • Meditation

  • Journaling

  • Reading

  • Breathwork

💡 Listen to your inner self & nourish your mind, body, and soul.
