Winter’s Effects on the Body

Winter’s Effects on the Body

As temperatures drop, your body changes — whether you notice it or not.

In winter, your body works overtime to stay warm. Circulation slows, joints may feel stiffer, and your skin often becomes dry, tight, and flaky. It’s not your imagination - it’s science.

Here's how winter can affect your body:

1. Joint stiffness and inflammation

Colder temperatures can restrict blood flow to muscles and joints, leading to that familiar “creaky” feeling. Inflammation also tends to worsen in the cold, especially for those with arthritis or other inflammatory conditions.

What can help:
Supplements like turmeric (curcumin) can help ease inflammation and improve mobility when taken regularly.

2. Dry, irritated skin

Lower humidity levels combined with heaters indoors can strip your skin of moisture. It’s common to experience dry patches, flaking, or even skin conditions like eczema or psoriasis worsening during this time.

What can help: Hemp Seed Oil, rich in Omega 3 & 6, supports the skin barrier from the inside out. Capsules and cold-pressed oils can restore hydration and improve skin texture naturally.

3. Lower energy and sluggish digestion

Lack of sunlight and fewer outdoor activities can make you feel flat or fatigued. Your metabolism may also slow slightly in winter, which can affect your digestion and energy levels.

What can help:
A diet rich in healthy fats and anti-inflammatory ingredients, like hemp oil and turmeric, can provide natural energy and support gut function.

4. Weakened immune response

Winter can impact your immune system, making you more susceptible to colds and flu. Supporting your body with nutrient-dense foods and natural anti-inflammatories is key.

Simple winter swaps that help:

  • Add hemp seed oil to your meals or take it by the spoonful

  • Take Hemp Seed Oil Capsules daily for skin and energy

  • Use TheraJoint+ to reduce joint pain and inflammation

  • Stay hydrated, moisturise regularly, and eat warming, nutrient-dense meals
