"This season can be dark and daunting, but it doesn't have to get the better of us."
"Here, three experts share their practical winter advice"
"From tips to boost immunity, to simple strategies for mental wellbeing, as well as essential home and fire safety guidance, here's how to stay happy, healthy and safe through the colder months."
Reduced daylight and colder weather shorten natural light exposure and can disrupt circadian rhythms, lowering mood, energy and sleep quality. Bright light exposure, consistent sleep schedules, outdoor activity and regular exercise help stabilize mood and circadian cues. Immune function benefits from adequate sleep, balanced nutrition, vitamin D when sunlight is limited, regular hand hygiene and seasonal vaccinations. Home safety requires functioning smoke and carbon monoxide alarms, safe heating practices, cleared chimneys and cautious use of portable heaters and candles to prevent fires. Maintaining social connection, routine and practical safety measures supports wellbeing and reduces winter risks.
