As Winter Approaches

[Dr_Hurt]

Evidence shows us that many people develop the “winter blues.”  If you’re someone who lacks energy or feels a sense of the blahs during the winter months, get ahead of the game by doing something that could change the way you think, breathe, and live.  In other words – stop smoking.  Starting a tobacco-free life will ultimately give you more energy and have many other positive benefits as well. 

Autumn is a perfect time to plan for ways to become healthier, and beat those winter blues.  Some alternatives for reaching for a cigarette include sipping warm spiced tea, sucking on cinnamon sticks, reaching for a crisp apple, or just taking a 30 minute walk.

Remember, winter is just temporary and by remaining tobacco-free you will have a new spring in your step when the warm, longer days arrive.

Another advantage - don't have to go stand outside in the cold and the rain anymore!! I use this for my spiced tea so its ready all the time.  I fill a 1 1/2 quart pitcher with water and boil it - add 2 bags constant comment black tea and 2 bags mandarin orange spice herbal tea and let steep for 10 minutes - add a little sugar to sweeten and pour it back in the pitcher and put it in the frig.  Now I can have iced tea or heat in the microwave for warm spice tea with half the caffine!  Works great - I even bring it in bottles to work.  Perfect year round.
