Winter Is The Time To Plan Your Spring Garden
If you think there is not much to do in the garden during the winter, you are wrong! Winter is an ideal time to plan and prepare a spring garden. Preparing a spring garden during the winter gets us outdoors to get some exercise and boost our mental health during the shorter, darker days. I think of winter as my ‘down time’. Planning and preparing now gives me a head start and means less work in the spring! I use the cooler temperatures to my advantage. Even though I dress warm, I find the cold less taxing on my body, allowing me to perform the more strenuous chores in preparation for a spring garden. Today, I’m going to share some helpful and healthy tips to help you make the most of your spring garden during the winter months.
Do You Only Go To The Doctor When You Are Sick?
Are you one of those people who only goes to the doctor when you are sick? If you are one of these people, you are doing yourself a disservice. Everyone should see their healthcare provider at least once a year. The rebuttal I often hear is, “But I’m fine! I only go to the doctor when I’m sick.” The problem with this argument is waiting until you are sick allows diseases and conditions to worsen over time while wreaking havoc on your body. Waiting until you are sick to go see your healthcare provider is a reactive approach to healthcare rather than a proactive approach. I practice what I preach. I see my healthcare provider at least once a year, if not twice a year. We should all see our primary healthcare provider, or HCP, at least once a year. A primary healthcare provider, or HCP, is usually a doctor or nurse practitioner who is responsible for meeting our basic healthcare needs.
