Boost Yourself, Winter is Coming

    As we head towards the colder months, this part of the globe sometimes experiences below freezing temperatures throughout the week. During the colder months, time is pushed backwards metaphorically speaking, we see it as gaining a hour of sleep, daytime and rest. 

    Alike certain animals, humans can benefit from healthy hibernation - it's as if we retain more with increased sleep, rest and neurological patterns. All of these factors occur during hibernation which allows animals to recover, heal and prepare for springtime with more strength and nutrients.
