As the weather changes, several things can start happening to our bodies. Colds and flu become more frequent, the weather can become less inviting to exercising outside and our joints can become stiffer and sorer with cooler temperatures.

Living in Victoria, the cold mornings can make it hard for me to get my body moving and I struggle with stiff and aching joints. It is important to keep your body moving during this time, and I have found that taking Cabot Heath’s Natural Pain Manager capsules is a great way to assist with those particularly tough mornings.

Remember to get your exercise done early to avoid the afternoon fatigue giving you an excuse to skip your daily workout.
