It’s the darkest week of the year. With just 9 hours of daylight each day, there’s a good chance that you’re feeling sluggish due to the lack of vitamin D, time outdoors and general warmth in your life. If you’re looking for ways to improve all of that time you’re spending indoors waiting for winter to end, then let this blog serve to inspire you with our 6 ways to make winter better:

1. Breathe better: As an air duct cleaning company, it’s only natural that we bring our services into the mix when it comes to improving your winter.

We take pride in helping your neighbors breathe better, so if you’re in the market, give us a call for a free consultation and estimate!

2. Stay active: One way to gain more energy in the winter months is to keep an exercise routine. Whether you invest in a stationary bike or yoga mat, there are hundreds of ways to stay active indoors.

3. Eat well: While the urge to eat fatty foods and be lazy is quite pronounced in the winter months, you’ll feel a lot better if you eat a balanced, healthy diet. We recommend making your own home-made vegetable soup to stay warm.

4. Relax: Take a warm bath. Watch a new movie or an old favorite. Read a book. Do things to pass the time that make you feel relaxed and help distract you from the cold weather outside.

5. Stay clean: Along with breathing clean air, keeping your house clean is part of fostering a healthy indoor environment. Don’t let your winter sluggishness get the best of you – keep up with regular household chores so that “spring cleaning” is less of a hassle this year.

6. Keep a healthy sleep cycle: With the dark days and long nights, it can be challenging not to sleep too much. Aim for eight hours per night, and try not to sleep in on weekends. Remember, sleeping too much can make you even more tired!

So there you have it: some ideas to make your winter a little brighter! We hope you have a wonderful remainder to your holiday season, and we look forward to hearing from you about how we can make your home a better, healthier place.
